25 PLACES THAT SHAPE YOUR LIFE

Some people are always out, going to concerts, restaurant openings, you name it. They never
fall into a predictable leisure routine! Or so it seems. However, according to a new study,
everyone has a set of places they return to regularly. Twenty-five of them, to be precise.
With the use of GPS their whereabouts were mapped throughout the day.
The study showed that although the students often visited new spots, they spent most of their
time in roughly 25 places that they returned to repeatedly. They weren't always frequent
visitors, but they were regular enough.
This behaviour seemed linked to university life when students are relatively campus-bound.
Again, to their surprise, it turned out that visiting 25 places on a regular basis
seemed to be an unwritten rule for all of them. People didn't show up in more locations when
they had more free time to explore, or fewer when they had less. What the number of places
they went to correlated with was the number of friends they had. More friends translated into
slightly more places visited.
These results by no means suggest that we don't incorporate new places into our routines.
We do! All the time! This may suggest that humans simply don't have the mental
capacity for much more than 25 places. This finding could have implications for how cities are
designed or how governments manage epidemics. After all, if you can only be
a regular in 25 places, it's worth selecting them carefully. Companies are constantly investing
in offices encouraging creativity and collaboration and people have to start to think about the
spaces they visit outside of work in the same way, seeking out layouts and amenities that help
them feel their best.

A. But when the researchers scaled up the study to 40,000 people from all over the world with
different kinds of lifestyles, they found the exact same thing.
B. When we change university, for example, the number of places on our mental list can
increase to 30 or even 40.
C. It could also have an influence on how people think about their personal choices.
D. Initially, the research carried out in the UK and Denmark involved a relatively small group
of 850 university students.
E. We change neighbourhoods, try new restaurants, and so forth, but for every new pizza
place we discover, an old favourite gets abandoned.
