Shampoo, it's funny how we use it, right?
When you get a new bottle, the next shower's like having a shampoo party. You use lots of shampoo and build up a nice thick lather of bubbles. The only problem is that one week later, you have a bottle with about that much left in it. But somehow you're able to make that little bit of shampoo last for months, if you need to. This is called The Shampoo Principle.
The more you have the more you use.
Where else do we see this?
Well, almost everywhere. At home, we already discussed shampoo, but don't we use toothpaste sort of the same way? How about at the office? When there are a ton of office supplies, lots of paper, lots of pens. Employees go through them so fast. There's probably a lot of wasteful decisions. We can even extend The Shampoo Principle to sports. In a close game, teams are careful and focused on every possession. When a team has a big lead, they're more likely to be careless and make mistakes.
Let's all remember to utilised our resources carefully.
