Re: The main reason for failure (or success)
Hi Gordon,
I think that's a great point!
If you can get quick feedback, then it is a lot more motivational.
For example, I think that's why counting steps with my smartphone seems to work.
When I hit 6000 steps, I feel a sense of accomplishment. That makes me feel good!
However, when I just tried to walk half an hour every day, I didn't seem to get that same feeling of accomplishment.
Maybe it's because when I'm counting steps it's like gaining points in a game. Every few step I take are like more points! So, you get a continuous feeling of achievement.
I don't know if that's why it works better. It's one possible idea!
Anyhow, I think you made it an amazing insight. I'll have to think about how to apply this even better.
Best wishes,
Dien
