This mental system also converts your intuitions into beliefs and your impulses into voluntary actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The author adds that everything you encounter will first go through the much faster System 1. <strong>System 2 only activates when there\u2019s something you can\u2019t resolve with faster, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/associative-thinking\/\">associative thinking<\/a>.<\/strong> For instance, driving your car on an empty road is generally a System 1 task\u2014it\u2019s simple and familiar enough that you can probably do it without conscious thought. However, if you need to parallel park in a tight space, your mind will activate System 2 so you can make careful adjustments to avoid the cars around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>System 1 Can Also Back Up System 2<\/strong><br><br>Kahneman describes System 2 as a backup system that kicks in when System 1 can\u2019t resolve an issue. However, sometimes it\u2019s the other way around, and you need System 1 to solve problems that System 2 gets stuck on.&nbsp;<br><br>In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/a-mind-for-numbers\" rel=\"nofollow\"><em>A Mind For Numbers<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em>Barbara Oakley describes <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/a-mind-for-numbers\/part-1#the-two-basic-modes-of-thinking\" rel=\"nofollow\">\u201cdiffuse-mode\u201d and \u201cfocus-mode\u201d thinking<\/a>\u2014two methods of thought that resemble Kahneman\u2019s two systems. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/focused-thinking\/\">diffuse-mode thinking<\/a>, which roughly corresponds to System 1, your thoughts traverse longer neural pathways between more diverse concepts. This may lead you to connect distantly related ideas in ways that you\u2019d have never thought of while using active focus-mode thinking (similar to Kahneman\u2019s System 2).&nbsp;<br><br>That\u2019s why answers sometimes come to you in a sudden flash of insight after you\u2019ve stopped thinking about a problem. This also means that, when you\u2019re stuck on a difficult issue, sometimes the best thing to do is take a break and let your mind relax\u2014let System 1 take over for a while and see what it comes up with.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">System 2 Is Lazy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Kahenman writes that your brain defaults to System 1 not only because it\u2019s faster, but also because it uses less <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/mental-energy\/\">mental energy<\/a>, and your brain instinctively tries to reserve your mental resources however it can. In simpler terms, System 2 is lazy, so it wants to let System 1 handle as much of the thinking as possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result,<strong> you often won\u2019t question the impulses and intuitions that System 1 generates<\/strong>, as rethinking your System 1\u2019s decisions would use energy your brain would rather not expend<strong>.<\/strong> This problem gets worse when you\u2019re tired or stressed\u2014your limited mental resources are already strained, which makes you even less able to devote conscious effort to solving problems and making decisions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: To compound the problem of limited mental resources, modern life practically guarantees that you\u2019re always mentally exhausted. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/willpower-doesnt-work\/1-page-summary\" rel=\"nofollow\"><em>Willpower Doesn\u2019t Work<\/em><\/a>, organizational psychologist Benjamin Hardy explains how you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/willpower-doesnt-work\/1-page-summary#the-problem-willpower-is-weaker-than-you-think\" rel=\"nofollow\">barraged by decisions and temptations every single day<\/a>.
