Mówię do Was z przeszłości, bo akurat jestem 6 godzin do tyłu w stosunku do Was, więc jako ten duch przeszłości porozkminiajmy w ostatnim dniu 2023 no co innego jak nie… temat nowych początków. No i proszę już sobie szybko powzdychać że to cliche i w ogóle, ale ja tu bym chciała chwilę pomówić z Wami o tym, co nam takie symboliczne daty i przejścia robią i że fanką postanowień to może nie jestem, ale jednak wyciągania wniosków z podsumowań już nieco bardziej tak. Nowy rok, stary_a ja - ale bogatszy_a o doświadczenia, przez co wyposażony_a w samowiedzę i narzędzia do tego, by radzić sobie (najlepiej jak to możliwe) z coraz to nowszymi plagami i uniesieniami, co to na nas je zsyła życie.Ten odcinek powstał dzięki uprzejmości Patronów i Patronek - za co serdeczne Freud zapłać!Do siego roku, moi mili i do usłyszenia w 2024!Montaż: Eugeniusz KarlovLiteratura:Hengchen Dai, Katherine L.

Maximale Fitness, minimaler Stressfaktor – jeden Sonntag in Marks Dranbleiber-Newsletter. Wer im Gym trainiert, kennt das: Jedes Jahr wieder bilden sich im Januar Warteschlangen an den Squat-Racks, und nach ein paar Wochen ist der Spuk wieder vorbei. Auch in den Medien ist das Thema "gute Vorsätze" zu einer Art Running-Gag geworden ("alle Jahre wieder..."), weil Neujahrsvorsätze angeblich sowieso ein One-Way-Ticket ins Land des Scheiterns sind. Aber es stimmt nicht. Jedenfalls nicht unbedingt. Jedem Neuanfang wohnt ein Zauber inne, sagt man. Die Wissenschaft bestätigt dies. Sie nennt das Phänomen den "Neustart-Effekt". Inzwischen wissen wir, dass Neujahrsvorsätze sogar besser funktionieren können, als andere Versuche, fit und gesund zu werden. Hier sind 5 Wege, wie Du den Neustart-Effekt zu Deinem Vorteil nutzt, motivierter dranbleibst und Deine Fitnessziele erreichst. ____________

A Ciência Económica é mais matreira do que parece e tem uma caixa de ferramentas bastante vasta. A essa caixa foi acrescentado, nos últimos anos, o Nudge. E o que é o Nudge? Nada mais, nada menos, que pequenos ‘empurrões' subliminares que nos ajudam a tomar melhores decisões. Já reparou como alguns alimentos podem estar mais longe de si no supermercado e outros verdadeiramente mais perto? Se olhar bem, verá que estes últimos são mais saudáveis. Isto é um exemplo de um nudge ou seja, uma bela maneira de nos ajudar a optar por uma melhor saúde.Joana Pais conta a Hugo Van Der Ding como surgiu o termo, descreve mil e um exemplos, e ajuda a compreender a diferença entre os ‘empurrões' para as boas direcções e os que têm intenções menos positivas (e que, obviamente não são nudges). REFERÊNCIAS E LINKS ÚTEIS:Nudge, Richard Thaler e Cass SunsteinPrograma ‘Save More Tomorrow' (SMarT):Shlomo Benartzi e Richard Thaler (2013), Behavioral Economics and the Retirement Savings Crisis, Science 339, pp. 1152-1153.Thaler, Richard H., and Shlomo Benartzi. “Save More Tomorrow: Using Behavioral Economics to Increase Employee Saving.” Journal of Political Economy 112, no.

Is the new year a good time to make some positive changes in your life? Or are new year resolutions a bit ... you know, cliched? And if you do decide to make some resolutions, how do you choose them? Your imperfect friend is here to hold your hand and guide you through it all. We're going to look at why, psychologically, new year is a pretty good time to make some changes, and why cynicism about new year resolutions is understandable, but overblown. We're also going to look at how you can dig down into any resolutions you've been toying with and get to the heart of what you really care about, so that you can focus your new year efforts in the right place. Find the '5 whys' exercise here. Reference:Hengchen Dai, Katherine L.

In honor of the new year, today’s episode is about how to make behavioral change that sticks. Welcome to 2020 everyone! 2019 was an amazing year here at The Brainy Business, with 52 episodes released, more than 100,000 downloads in 150 countries, a brand new column on Inc.com (which already has 27 articles posted), a white paper on savings behaviors, two courses launched, and lots of engagement with all of you on social media. Next week, I’ll dig into all of my top content from 2019. Today, is all about behavior change and narrowing your focus, so you can accomplish what matters most. If you are trying to do too many things at once, you will stay stuck. And, your brain actually wants that. I also talk about the Moment In Time or the Fresh Start Effect (like beginning your new goal or exercise program at the beginning of the year). I also talk about Temptation Bundling, which is combining something you should do (but often neglect) with something you really want to do) to help motivate you. This episode will help you name and claim your goal whether you are using fresh starts or temptation bundling (or ideally both!) to get going. CLICK HERE FOR YOUR FREE DOWNLOAD Show Notes: [06:45] The first thing to do, and something I have been preaching to you for months, is to narrow your focus. [07:09] The brain can’t handle too many priorities. If you are trying to do too many things at once, you will stay stuck. [07:19] The human brain likes predictability, it builds your world based on what has happened in the past and it likes to know where its next reward is coming from. [07:51] If you don’t take the time to prioritize what really matters, your brain can keep hiding and keeping you stuck. [08:24] Would you rather look back 10 years from now and say, “I made a little bit of progress on a lot of things…but never really completed what I wanted to” or “I completed one thing at a time and built on each success”? [09:23]  Now that you understand the importance of limiting your priorities and goals to no more than three, we can talk about how you can set yourself up for the most success for actually achieving what you have set as your priorities. [09:46] There are many ways to tackle goals, and I'm going to share two of my favorites in this episode. [10:54] You can and should throw everything you can at your goals including the tactics of "moments in time" and "temptation bundling." [11:15] The "moment in time" is also known as the first start effect. This is exactly what you get at the beginning of the year (or decade in this case). [11:36] We humans are wired to look at new moments in time as a fresh start. This is a form of mental accounting. These time breaks allow you to look at yourself fresh. [12:27] We also create a new and distinct version of ourselves along with these fresh starts. [15:04] One thing that the fresh start does is it prompts you to stop and, essentially, look up.  [15:39] Fresh starts are the opportunity to stop and look around to reevaluate what you’ve been doing and decide if it's time for a change. [16:11] Anything and every day can be a fresh start. [19:00] Any moment is an opportunity to be better than you were the moment before – an opportunity to reinforce those three goals you are focused on. [21:51] Having an opportunity to step out of the everyday work and realign your priorities and make sure that you are still on track is a benefit to every business and individual. [22:33] This practice can help you to reinvigorate your dedication to your life and commitments, to see what is working and what needs to change. It keeps you tuned in with yourself and your goals. [22:45] Schedule quarterly appointments with yourself. [23:22] If you are someone who sells products or services that align with being better or positive change…you should know when people are most likely to be looking for you and your offerings. [23:40] At your office, align talking about change at times when people are already aligned for change like a holiday or New Year. [24:37] While milestone dates can be beneficial for forming new habits…they also are a key point where you might BREAK habits – for better or worse. [25:14] You can control this. Awareness is key. [26:11] I've talked about bundling tasks and habit stacking in the goals episode. [26:39] Temptation bundling is another way to motivate yourself to have positive behavioral change. You can combine doing something you really want to do with something that you know you should do. [27:19] The only time you get to do the reward is when you are doing the thing that you should do. [29:33] Two thirds of people would prefer to have their possessions locked up to keep them on track. Committing your goal to someone else means you are much more likely to keep it.  [31:09] The thing for you to do is think about what you wish you could do – or something where you tend to get distracted from your goals…and combine it so you can ONLY do it when it is helping you achieve your goal. [32:19] Combining the knowledge of these two methods: temptation bundling and fresh starts, are a great recipe for achieving those goals and resolutions in 2020 and throughout the whole new decade.

In the past few years the United States government has issued fewer regulations and worked to eliminate or improve existing ones. Cass R. Sunstein led many of these changes as administrator for the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. In his new book Simpler: The Future of Government Sunstein talks about how a more streamlined government can improve health lengthen lives and save money. Wharton operations and information management professor Katherine L. Milkman recently spoke with Sunstein about these changes and what the future holds.
