Hawthorne Effect

Hawthorne Effect Have you ever had the feeling you were being watched? What did that awareness feel like? When you have that feeling, what do you do — do you change your behavior? Do you modify your routine? I am the boss and I am watching. You are the one being watched, what are you doing? You start working harder, being busy. Maybe not necessarily effective, but more active than you once were before you recognized that I was watching. The Hawthorne Effect is real.

Why do we hurry back to a life that we know is not as relaxing or a s beautiful as the place we are visiting? Making money so to someday hopefully move there? Chasing a dream that is out of reach or unreasonable? Who is to say that you cannot go today? Be there and live there now? What would you have to do to change your life so significantly that would allow you to live in that perfect place? This will be the beginning of a discovery to understand what we consider important and what is noise. Life is worth living and experiencing - "where" is the first topic.
