Why do some people order dessert before the main course?

Rules become interesting when people discover why they exist.

Some people eat dessert first because they value enjoyment over convention or prefer to guarantee the part of the meal they enjoy most.

Dessert is supposed to come last.

Everyone knows that.

Yet some people deliberately reverse the order.

The hidden mechanism is uncertainty.

A person may become full, run out of time, or simply lose interest before dessert arrives. Ordering it first guarantees enjoyment instead of postponing it.

Behavioral economists have long observed that humans do not maximize rules.

They maximize satisfaction.

People often organize life around what should happen.

Happiness sometimes begins with asking what if it didn't.

Where Curiosity Leads

Does spending more time in one neighborhood improve travel decisions? Should a traveler sometimes optimize for regret reduction instead of maximization? Should I budget extra money for travel mistakes?
