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

关于第8点,我在听格桑老师的讲座的时候对这个记忆很深刻。因为我被他抽中回答的就是这个问题,目标具体化是一个很重要的概念。“好好学习”,“要有出息”,“努力奋斗”这些都是非常垃圾、误导人的东西。
