View more presentations from Persuasive Technology Lab at Stanford.
- Relying on willpower for long-term change
- Imagine willpower doesn't exist. - Attempting big leaps instead of baby steps
- Seek tiny successes, one after another - Ignoring how environment shapes behaviors
- Change your life and change your context - Trying to stop old behaviors instead of creating new ones
- Focus on action, not avoidance - Blaming failures of lack of motivation
- Make the behavior easier to do - Underestimating the power of triggers
- No behavior happens without a trigger - Believing information leads to action
- We humans aren't so rational - Focusing on abstract goals more than concrete behaviors
- Abstract: Get in shape. Concrete: Walk 15 min. today - Seeking to change a behavior forever, not for a short time
- A fixed period works better than "forever" - Assuming that behavior change is difficult.
- Behavior change is not so hard when you have the right process
