It's all about small, keeping it smaller  than you think it is. So it's not about  going to the gym for an hour every day  when you're stressed, forget it... Your  amygdala and prefrontal cortex will be  duking it out for that one. No way you're  not going to go. It's like you're waiting  through molasses to put your sneakers on.  But if you start small and say I'm going  to go for a five minute walk today  you'll do it. Ini semua tentang hal yang simple, menjaganya tetap lebih simple dari yang kau kira. Jadi ini bukan soal pergi ke gym selama satu jam setiap hari saat kau stres, lupakan saja... Amigdala dan Prefrontal Korteksmu akan menghalangimu untuk melakukan hal itu. Tak mungkin... kamu tak akan pergi. Ini seperti kau sedang menunggu sirup pengganti gula atau mulai “ngemil” dengan makanan ringanmu. Tetapi jika kau memulai dari hal kecil dan mengatakan aku akan berjalan kaki lima menit hari ini, kau akan melakukannya. But sometimes ...

OK? Now I find it actually easier to think of it this way.  If you just rearrange terms, you can write it as MUc over pc  equals MUp over p sub p.  I like this way of writing it because I call this  the bang for the buck equation. What this is saying, your marginal happiness per dollar should be equal. This is sort of the happiness per dollar spent on cookies.  This is the happiness per dollar spent on pizza. And you want those to be equal. You want the bang for the-- you want to put your next dollar where it's going to make you happiest, OK?  And so, basically, think of that as your bang for your buck. So, for example, suppose you were in a position  where the MRS was greater than the MRT. You're in a position where the marginal utility of cookies--  and I'm getting rid the negatives. There's negative on both sides. So I'm just going to get rid of the negatives, OK? The marginal utility of cookies over the marginal utility  of pizz...

  Priciples of Microeconomics (2) Today we're going to start talking about what's underneath the demand curve . So basically, what we did last time, and what you did in section on Friday is talk about sort of the workhorse model of economics , which is supply and demand model.  And we always start the class with that, because that's the model in the course. But I think as any good sort of scientists and inquisitive minds, you're probably immediately asking, well,  Where do these supply and demand curves come from?  They don't just come out of thin air.  How do we think about them?  Where do they come from?  And that's what we'll spend basically the first 1/2 of the course going through. And so we're going to start today with the demand curve, and the demand curve is going to come from how consumers make choices , OK?  And that will help us drive the demand curve.  Hari ini kita akan mulai berbicara tentang apa yang mendasari kurva permintaan...
