New tests…

2009

163 people across 4 separates testsTHE TEST :

50% of the person announced their commitment to this goal to the room50% of the person didn’t announced their commitment to this goal to the room

Everyone wrote down their personal goal

Everyone was given 45 minutes of work

Then…(They can stop at any time)

Worked 45 minutes on averageThey felt that they had a long way to go still to achieve their goal

Quit after 33 minutes on averageThey felt much closer to achieving their goal

If this is true…what can we do ?

Resist the temptation to announce your goal11

Delay the gratification that the social acknowledgment brings 22

Understand that your mind mistakes the talking for the doing33

State it in a way that gives you no satisfaction 44
