amzn.to/49Sr2Uq 1️⃣ I had a client issue so common it deserves a post. The problem? He was going to start going to the gym next week. The behavior doesn’t matter: “I’ll start eating healthy after the holidays.” “I’ll start sleeping once I’m done with this product launch.” “I’ll start…I’ll start…” 2️⃣ There are two of you (and me): Present You and Future You. Future You is a paragon of health—a perfect angel. Present You is B.A.D.—but you don’t worry, because he’ll be replaced soon by Future You. 3️⃣ The problem, as the song goes, is that “someday never comes.” We all know it intuitively—that’s why Creedence Clearwater Revival wrote about it, not because they ran a neuroscience experiment. 4️⃣ But as a professional, I can’t build my framework on intuition or song lyrics. Kelly McGonigal’s The Willpower Instinct breaks down what’s actually happening neurologically. 5️⃣ Here’s the short version: • Your brain releases dopamine when you imagine the future • That hit feels good • So dreaming about the future becomes addictive • And since it’s easier than taking action, you do it more It’s a cheap high. 6️⃣ That’s why I tackle this in the Cognition Pillar of my SCREEN Framework— Spirituality | Cognition | Recovery | Environment | Exercise | Nutrition You can’t pick which pillars to keep and expect the building to stand. Ignore your mental biases, and your building—and your health—collapse. #MindsetMatters #MensPerformance #DisciplineOverMotivation #StrengthHasAHigherPurpose #BehaviorScience #LeadershipDevelopment #EliteMindset #SCREENFramework #PerformanceCoaching @kellymcgonigal

🐔 This chicken is part of a reinforcement training demonstration, showing how positive rewards can shape behavior. It’s the same principle used in training dogs, dolphins—and even humans. #BehaviorScience #AnimalTraining

The question isn’t “Why is he like this?”
It’s: “What’s behind it?”
#BehaviorScience #Psychotherapy

We have all heard it. “We’re committed to making sure everyone feels they belong.”But how often do these commitments translate into measurable change? The truth is that intentions don’t drive impact. Systems do. Bias isn’t just a ‘people problem’; It’s structural issue woven into education, AI, and workplace cultures. Unconscious bias training without behavior-based strategies is good in theory but ineffective in practice. Real belonging isn’t about ‘helping’ marginalized people fit in. It’s about redesigning the system so they were never excluded in the first place. We need to break down the science of belonging, explaining why it matters, where we go wrong, and how to fix it using data, neuroscience, and behavior science. Let’s move beyond good intentions. Let’s build systems that work. What’s one way we can create universal systems that ensure everyone belongs? #Belonging #BehaviorScience #Bias #Neurodiversity #Workplace #Technology #BiasDisruption #Education #TechEquity #CohesiveCultures #FutureFocused #MochaSprout

Day 1. For those who didnt fall asleep, did you enjoy the lecture? #OrganizationalBehavior #BehaviorScience #UCT #UniversityOfCapeTown

Today, our lab and project teams are coming together to share their insights on gamification from various perspectives. They'll be discussing: 1) How #gamification can be applied in various settings 3) How to measure the impact of game mechanisms on behavior change. 4) Main challenges when designing & testing games in the lab and implementing them in real life. 5) Ethical considerations to take into account when designing games. Do you have any questions about how we use lab games or gamification elements in our work? Share them below, and then join us at 6 pm EAT for an in-depth conversation by registering here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi… In the meantime, Zeena has answered some of these questions in her latest Groundwork: busara.global/our-works/usin… #labgames #games #development #internationaldevelopment #behaviorscience #behaviorchange #decisionmaking

📰 Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed an executive order today banning cellphone use in public schools. The aim? To create a healthier, more focused learning environment by limiting distractions and reducing screen time for students. 📵📚 Source: NBC News ***************************** 🌟 Behavioral Insight: The Response Deprivation Hypothesis suggests that when access to a preferred activity (like cellphone use) is limited, it becomes a more powerful reinforcer. By strategically allowing limited phone access as a reward for specific positive behaviors (e.g., completing assignments, participating in class), schools can increase the frequency of those behaviors. This approach leverages the increased value of the restricted activity to promote desired academic behaviors, potentially leading to better engagement and performance in the classroom. 📈📚 #BehaviorScience #EdPolicy #EducationReform #StudentFocus

The DSM-5, often considered the "Bible of Psychiatry," lacks scientific isolation for its criteria. "Not one thing in {the DSM-5] is isolated by science. There are no physical findings. No PET Scan, No MRI. Just behavior described by psychiatry and labeled abnormal..." Instead, behaviors are described, labeled, and voted upon by committees, making diagnoses like acute stress disorder somewhat arbitrary, as seen with its 28-day billing-friendly cutoff. (4 weeks, 4 visits) Your mental illness is diagnosed as an illness because it conveniently fits a calendar billing cycle. Maybe we take cues from the body that our mental illness is suffering because something is wrong in the body, and we need to find the root cause. And while sometimes some people may need a pill, it's never going to give you the root-cause answer. And pharma and psychiatry aren't looking for root-cause answers. They are looking for symptom reduction today. There are no concerns about long-term consequences or long-term harm. Something to really think about.
