Hacking Your Own Brain
Use this psychological tendency to push your business forward
A quick win can generate momentum.
Don’t take my word for it, it’s called “science”…
According to the Harvard Business Review, There is a human response called “Completion Bias”, where we gain mental momentum by completing tasks.
When you have a big project at hand, you might tackle a small task right off the bat just to feel the sensation of accomplishment before starting on the larger, longer, or more complicated tasks.
Dave Ramsey agrees with this approach in his “Debt Snowball” strategy for paying off small debts before tackling large debts, even though it might make more sense financially to do the opposite.
Don’t fight Completion Bias, rather use it to your advantage.
