Am I David in this story?

I love biases.

Reading about the different behavioral biases and analyzing other peoples' actions trying to rationalize them has been one of my habits. So basically I am guilty of pretending to understand them (biases as well as the people lol). (Spoiler alert: I don't think I really do understand!)

Anyways, so why I was recently reminded of this was because I noticed something in my behavior. I tend to come (and stay!) under the spell of commitment bias, ALL the time. 

So what has happened is that I noticed I was not particularly fond of a considerable section of the ongoing (and large) canvas that I am currently working on. I have been aware of my sub-optimal appreciation for this part. But I still kept on tolerating it while working on other sections. But why? I am working with oil, a medium known for its forgiving nature because you can layer it endlessly. So why was I so reluctant to do over that part?

But today, I have painted over that part. And I am quite happy with how it is going. 

So, yeah, for once, I am happy to have defeated the goliath that is my commitment bias.
