Heuristics are mental shortcuts that allow us to make quick judgments, but they often lead to errors. We are least likely to use heuristics when we are actively engaging in logical evaluation of the information we gather, as this requires deliberate and thoughtful processing. In contrast, relying on emotions and wishful thinking, feeling overloaded, or not having enough time are situations in which we are more likely to use heuristics because they offer a shortcut or "rule of thumb" solution.
