Be\u00a0careful: this trick is\u00a0often used by\u00a0employees of\u00a0restaurants to\u00a0make the clients buy more food<\/strong>.<\/p>\nAt\u00a0the moment when your alarm clock is\u00a0ringing, you should get up\u00a0a\u00a0little for a\u00a0second, make fists and yell \u201cYeah,\u201d as\u00a0if\u00a0you are a\u00a0soccer player who just scored. This is\u00a0strange but it\u00a0will give you a\u00a0sense of\u00a0freshness and allow you to\u00a0get up\u00a0easily.<\/p>\n
If\u00a0you are always worried whether you locked the door or\u00a0not or\u00a0if\u00a0your iron is\u00a0off<\/strong>, just say some absolutely absurd phrase when doing these things (the phrase should be\u00a0different every day.) For example, you say \u201cgreen rabbit\u201d and turn the iron off, or\u00a0\u201coppressive crab\u201d and lock the door. The next time you think about your open\/closed door, you will remember that you said this weird phrase and will calm down.<\/p>\nIf\u00a0you work on\u00a0a\u00a0team and you have a\u00a0really lazy team member<\/strong>, don\u2019t give them tasks with the words \u201cdo\u00a0this.\u201d Replace it\u00a0with \u201cstart with this.\u201d Psychologically, it\u00a0will seem that there is\u00a0less work because they should start with something small. And then, after they do\u00a0it, use the words, \u201cVery good. Continue.\u201d In\u00a0this case, there is\u00a0a\u00a0high probability that they will finish the task successfully because it\u00a0will appear that there is\u00a0less work.”<\/p>\nI love learning things like these because I’ve seen firsthand the ways they work. For instance, when I want to win a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors I just have to ask my opponent a random question right before we start playing and it typically causes them to throw out scissors for their answer.\u00a0 And that is just one example out of countless other on how understanding psychology can really help you in your life and in your pursuits.<\/p>\n
Have a great one<\/p>\n
