This question is closely connected to hedonic editing —
the tendency to optimize how we mentally bundle experiences in order to
maximize subjective well-being.
In general, people prefer to separate positive experiences
and bundle negative ones, unless the negative experiences
are perceived as too severe.
≈ 60% prefer to experience
“sprain an ankle, sign a loan application, argue with your boss”
on the same day.
Only ≈ 15% want to experience
“meet your future life partner, inherit a small fortune, get promoted”
on one single day.
Between 15% (Western cultures) and
30% (Eastern cultures) are willing to bundle
very severe negative events into one day.
About ≈ 20% prefer to bundle moderately positive events,
such as a tax refund, praise from the boss, and a surprise birthday
party, into one especially memorable day.
These preferences reflect how individuals unconsciously organize experiences
to optimize thinking and feeling for joy. Hedonic editing is another clear
example of the automatisms that guide human decision-making.
