Tomas Pueyo (@tomaspueyo) and Nir Eyal ( NirAndFar.com ) discuss behavioral design, habit-formation, and human psychology in the time of COVID-19.

When I moved from being someone who accomplished things sporadically to someone who could consistently do what I wanted to do… that was a life-changing experience for me. When I looked at the day ahead and outlined what I wanted to do and then actually did it, I was much more happy, fulfilled and productive. In this video, I discuss the Indistractable Model and its four basic parts, highlighting how implementing it has changed my life for the better. My goal remains to give others the same feeling of happiness and “indistractability” that these research-based techniques have afforded me. Watch the clip below and share how you are working to become “indistractable!” #Indistractable #HumanBehavior #Productivity …see more

Bitcoin has been on a dream run growing by over 280% over a year! Given its decentralized nature, Cryptocurrency has been touted as a regulator's worst nightmare and also as the future for digital economies. Everybody has heard of #bitcoin and cryptocurrencies by now. Yet, most people don’t know enough about them and there are very few experts.

Cryptocurrency has become a Trillion-dollar industry in just 10 years. 2. More than $5B in venture capital has been invested in cryptocurrency startups by the world's top tech investors 3.

In 2017, everyone was laughing at Target. Sales had continued to slide. Stores were in disrepair. And company leaders were struggling to adapt to the changing behavior of consumers--many of whom were shopping more and more with online retailers like Amazon. As fellow retailers Macy's, J.C. Penney, and Gap collectively shuttered hundreds of stores due to similar struggles, analysts said Target should do the same. But Target executives, led by CEO Brian Cornell, had a different idea. The key to revitalizing Target, they said, was to go on the offensive. So, in March, 2017, Target made a huge announcement: It planned to invest over $7 billion in a turnaround strategy that many thought was crazy. Fast forward to today, and Target is thriving. First quarter results for 2019 beat analysts' expectations. The store's private-label lines are exploding. And as comparable store sales continue to rise, the stock price is trading at an all-time high. How did Target do it?

See this? This is a streaming disc. After launching streaming on PCs and then Macs, Netflix turned it's attention to devices that were already connected to the internet, used for video, and had massive installed customer bases. Yep, game consoles. When the service first launched on the Sony PS3 (and Nintendo Wii), you needed to pop this disc in the DVD player slot in order to be able to instantly watch movies from Netflix. It was the early days of the strategy of "device ubiquity" - be on every device that connected to the internet. And yes, I still have this disc. #Netflix #streaming #OTT #PS3 #Xbox #Wii #Sony #Nintendo #Microsoft #earlydays #videogames …see more

I NEVER share this stuff on LinkedIn! You'll find it on Facebook which I also keep very private. "So what gives, Chantel? Why are you bringing this crap to a professional platform?" Well, because if it wasn't for arguably the BEST BOSS in the world, I would have NEVER dropped 100lbs, controlled my MS symptoms, and eliminated seizures.
