Matas Rimkus talks about the hidden filters that shape the way we see the world, think about problems, and make decisions. He explores how these mental filters determine our actions and, ultimately, who we are. Drawing on his journey and insights from neuroscience, Matas shows how relying on just one filter limits our potential, while learning to switch between multiple filters can unlock creativity, reveal new solutions, and transform the way we live. His talk challenges us to ask: what would change if we chose to see the world differently? Matas Rimkus is dedicated to helping people think clearly, solve problems effectively, and unlock their full potential through the power of mental models. His work sits at the intersection of mindfulness and productivity, blending rigorous research with practical tools to make growth not only attainable but sustainable. With a background in writing and software development, he brings a multifaceted approach to cultivating balance between discipline and joy. Matas believes that by deliberately slowing down in areas like work, art, writing, and creating, we can uncover deeper insights, enhance performance, and truly thrive.
