Question

Many of us use heuristics each day in completing ordinary activities—such as planning our meals, executing our workout routine, or determining what route to drive to school or work. Imagine that you are developing a set of heuristics for deciding which social invitations to accept. What rules or heuristics would you include?

Answer 1

You could include Herbert's Simon's satisficing and Amos Tversky's elimination-by-aspect heuristic rules.

From Satisficing strategy, you must decide which are your goals, what do you want to achieve through social invitations.

By doing this, you are setting an aspiration level. Then, you choose the alternative that satisfies your aspiration.

On the other hand, you can use elimination-by-aspects heuristic strategy to reduce the number of alternatives that do not meet the aspiration level.
