Thanks to Behavioural Science there's a new way to get into action on things that matter to you. Risking money (staking) activates the survival circuitry in your brain that influences action. If you just flinched, that's a sign this'll work for you. If you want to self-motivate, get started or get reliable at something, know people who stake more than $50 do what they promise 96% of the time. [If you keep your word it costs you nothing]. What do people promise? Regular exercise, food portion control, study, me-time, alcohol or social media reduction... It's a consequence of our evolutionary programming. Behavioural science says we're naturally loss averse - something we can leverage for our own good. Funny, provocative, and guaranteed to influence at least one aspect of your life.
