"The brain crowns winners and losers." Americans tend to believe that the more tasks that you cram into a day, the bigger winner you are. However, asking for help or using 'cheat sheets' to get things done makes us think to ourselves that we are being perceived as a loser. But remember if you actually get things done and don't forget to call a friend or complete an errand for a family member, then that actually makes you a winner. It doesn't lessen your status if you have a helping hand to get things done.
