    Really enjoyed this Tedx. Recently gave up tobacco, porn, junk food, and hot showers to become more disciplined and now my long term goals seem more attainable than ever. I feel like a good person in the present, not just the future. Thanks for the talk.

  • @LazyChristy

    Very logical, and funny. Thank you for laying it out so well. :-) My dilemma is an unhealthy, if not toxic relationship of 18 months. I kept feeling like I wasn't going to be happy in the long run for lots of good reasons. But something always stopped me from leaving, love and the stupidity that comes with it. Now it has recently " ended" from both sides because we have crazy sadistic fights where we're at it to hurt each other and make each other feel worthless to "win" and it hasn't changed. We both want to work on that but feel like we would progress better ( as in in terms of self control) if we weren't around each other to complicate things but it is hard to not just fall back into each other's arms even though we know that those horrible fights would most likely be inevitable then.

    I watched it today. It is most important to maintain our self control and make it a habit. It is an energy which we loose every movement. With lunch time approaching we loose control and focus on what we are doing and start waiting 1 hr before the time. When time comes we are so eager to full fill our desire and hunger we eat what is available instead of choosing the healthy food. Self control comes with practice and planning and keeping the goal in mind. Otherwise we loose control 10 times a day more during later part of the day.

    profound and so true!
    I can certainly relate to it. During my board exam, I could not control going over facebook every so often, I gave my username and password to my wife, asked her to change the password, and also change the reset email address to her email address, and I did not go on facebook for almost 3 months, which would not be possible for may 3 days if I had choice! Now I have access, but my craving to goto facebook is reduced that I hardly go! but I am afraid again to regularly start going back to it~

    Although a "red button" is a good solution for many people, I think it's more about state of mind and motivation than short-term incentives. Discipline is not easy, but it is definitely rewarding. From a purely rational perspective, we might even argue that time inconsistent behaviour may indicate that the subject doesn't truly care about the long term, and they only say they do to make themselves feel better.

    sometimes going to a library and seeing other people working and motivated, ends up motivating me. Also eventually the library closes so you have to get a certain amount of work done. Set alarms every hour or so to track your progress if youre at home.

    Good talk, but the Ulysses method is absolutely ineffective. In my humble opinion, positive reinforcement is way better than brute forcing your way out of bad habits. And when it comes to addiction... forget it! Nevertheless, his first anecdote reflected a good approach. Connecting unpleasant experiences with good sensations is much more adequate from the neurological point of view. "Fire together, wire together"... remember?

    One challenge for reward substitution is thinking of rewards for aversive tasks that require sustained attention. Side effects for medicine are terrible, but they're something that have to be passively endured rather than actively focused on. Work is less aversive, but to do it right you have to pay attention. So what kind of reward can you give yourself to focus on work?

    • @sianacampbell3028
      @sianacampbell3028 10 лет назад +3

      The mechanism is still the same; find something that will make the sustained effort totally worth it. A personal example: in the midst of battling procrastination, I unexpectedly suffered a health crisis that reduced my ability to be productive by about 90% for more than 3 weeks. It was horrible. I'd never been immobilized before; imagine not being able to do anything but lay in bed and deal with pain day in and day out. It put a WHOLE new perspective on my previous struggle with procrastination. Now, when I am faced with temptation to make a short-sighted choice, I quickly remember that life could dramatically change at any second and forever erase the opportunity or ability to do what we SHOULD. Hope this helps.

    Interesting study with the rats and pigeons: reminds me of Conditioning.
    Now that I am watching the TED talk in a loop to understand Dan better, just curious, has the study taken "color psychology" for rats and pigeons into account? I'm not sure whether certain colors affect them in a certain way but if it affects humans, why not them?

    as to alarm clocks...when i needed to force myself to get up early, I'd change the time on my clock, for something like 9 or 13 or 17 minutes fast, and set the alarm to 6:02...this way when it went off, by trying to figure out what time it really was, was enough time to wake my sorry ass up! Also helped to put the clock on the other side of the room & keep anything i could use as weapons against that annoying clock far from my reach!
