Can you give a good example of a reward? Designing for dopamine release seems so important and I’d like to get better at it! 🙏

Knowledge Is Not Enough for Success Putting knowledge into action is the key to success, but it’s very difficult. Fortunately, there are ways to overcome this.

I want to help you understand habits so you can create a better life

Psychology Today summarizes some of my methods. Not quite how I'd say it, but it's okay

Quoting someone else, the article says give yourself a reward like a coffee.

My view: That's an incentive. Not a reward

I’d be up for running some experiments with you on this topic if you’re up for it?

We could design some bot tests and see which ones work the best?

The problem is that the bots get more and more sophisticated all the time.

Have you tried a drawing task? And then screen manually?

Can you use a task that a bot can’t pass?
