My father always said it's not true that you get what you pay for, but it's always true that you pay for what you get! Deadlines are funny because so many people _always_ wait until the last minute. When teaching I let students turn in their work until midnight on the day of the deadline. Many wanted an extra hour. I pointed out that if I gave them an extra 3 hours, that their procrastination would have them always working until 3 AM, and that they'll be happier with a midnight deadline. They couldn't argue with that.

just gonna say this from the perspective of someone who's been "the new guy" way more times than the average salary worker: there is absolutely no way you're going to get away with doing this differently as "the new guy" in most jobs. you have to do it the previous person's way until you've established you know better. as you're doing it "the right way", throw in your own little twists here and there and keep at it gradually until you're doing it entirely different. the beginning will be rough. they're basically telling you to conform to someone you don't even know

Lesson #5 reminds me of a couple of episodes of Penn and Teller's show where they were in a high-end restaurant and had a salesman do an amazing job at selling food in one episode and boutique water in the other. The food episode was some cheap junk prepared in a toaster oven and presented well and the water was all just from a hose out back. The power of perception led people to believe they were getting something much better than what they were--those episodes really helped change how I look at things, they're on KZbin if you're interested.

At one of my early jobs I was replacing 3 programmers who had left the company. My boss couldn't believe I was so slow at learning the java project and completing tasks, and noted that it took the other guys hours to do what took me days. I wish I'd had the spine to turn to him and remind him that they LEFT and I'm HERE, and you're expecting a junior programmer to fill the boots of three senior programmers. At my current job the scenario is a bit different: we've replaced several programmers who'd done a less than stellar job. We made sure to congratulate the new hires on jobs well done, and for speaking up about better ways to do things. They need to hear it, and to be welcomed by focusing on what they're doing well.

For the Organ Donation part there'd be something else at play there too, moral pressure. Organ donation is seen as a moral thing to do so framing the question so that checking the box is declining it would mean that if they check the box it could feel like a stance against donating organs, a position which could be seen as selfish. The German form however, in having you need to opt in, removes that contention since you can just choose to not answer and avoid the moral conundrum entirely. This makes the German form fairer, since no moral pressure means no manipulation.

As a person with Asperger's syndrome, these things don't affect me as much as they do most other people. The thing where all 3 options cost $10 for the same thing, and the coffee shop one are the 2 strongest examples. However, some things affect me more, so I guess we're even. Interesting tactics, though.

Comparing yourself to people around you: I don't just look at how much they make, i look at how long and hard i would have to work to get there and how hard and long i would have to work to get what they get. Time has a value too! I also look at enjoyment. I pick jobs that are enjoyable, motivating and that presents interesting new challenges. If the job bores me, annoys me or doesn't make me feel like i am getting somewhere then i swap jobs. If a job is enjoyable i can live with less pay and a longer commute. If the job pays well i can endure less joy for a time, but not forever. If the commute is short i can accept less pay as long as the job isn't on the bad side of enjoyment. Time is important, and so is your happiness. I don't give a hoot about what others are making doing their jobs.

1. As one who fixed them for what we called a living, unless it's a temporary promo with all the regular stuff included, you do NOT want something "free". You want the good oil and the good filter and the thorough service. And that inherently is not free. 2. Yes, any shop worth its salt knows this is a sales opportunity. And the car owner should WANT them to make that effort. As long as they're straight with you about expectations, yours and theirs (you're planning to trade the car soon, so some items don't make sense, or you drive them forever, so you need no outstanfing issues, those kinds of things), you're way ahead to be updated on what a skilled pair of eyes finds when the car is on the lift.

The wording of the "you are automatically enrolled if you don't check the box" this should be illegal this is the kind of tactic that the form programs you can get on personal computers used to do, but were forced to stop, Like when you are installing the program there are check boxes and if you didn't read the fine print and didn't check the boxes spam wear was installed onto your PC I always do my best to stop being lazy when handed something with fine print and or check boxes or signatures most people just sign and or check the boxes to get it over with its a slimy tactic especially for older people that may not fully understand what's actually going on they feel pressured, same goes for thing like buying items. Many of the thing mentioned in this video I actually don't think that way, and I am not sure if I ever have been the social norm in the way of that type of thinking being manipulated maybe when I was a child, but I tend to think things through read in between the lines , many people just react I never understood this. I am not saying I have never been manipulated because I have, and t I also realized it almost immediately. if something feels even slightly off like to good to be true or anything at all I ask questions . the thing I have understood about youtube channels is that it takes much of your personal time if you into it then it's all good but if you like top do other things in your life and say have another type of income then doing a channel probably will burn you out over the months years every person I have met on liner that has a youtube channel gets burnt out even with helpers and I have always told them do whats best for you and to not feel pressured to do what you think everyone wants because then you are becoming more like them than yourself which isnt natural and also ofI went off-topic

As a father who has experienced the challenges and biases within the family court system firsthand, I am wholeheartedly in support of the Good Dad Act. This legislation is not just about fathers' rights; it is about creating a more equitable society that recognizes and values the essential role that fathers play in their children's lives. The Good Dad Act addresses the systemic flaws and biases that have perpetuated the marginalization of fathers within the family court system for far too long. It promotes shared parental responsibility, ensuring that children have the opportunity to maintain strong relationships with both parents. Every child deserves the love, guidance, and involvement of both their mother and father. The Good Dad Act will help level the playing field, empowering fathers to actively participate in their children's upbringing and decision-making. By supporting the Good Dad Act, we are advocating for a legal framework that is fair, just, and reflective of the realities of modern parenting. We are challenging stereotypes and working towards a future where children have equal access to the love and support of both parents, regardless of their gender. I urge everyone to join this movement and raise awareness about the importance of fathers' rights. Together, we can push for the passage of the Good Dad Act at both the state and federal levels, ensuring that fathers are granted the legal protections they deserve and that children can benefit from the active involvement of both parents. Let's create a society where every child can grow up with the love, care, and guidance of their devoted fathers. Together, we can make a difference. #SupportGoodDads #EqualParentingRights#gooddadact docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQvSKX1gNVTRkHbMyelT20n4rgnLeKelG03Ecq7PT2lRSnjE0C1lociMO67vqkoJfiKlHHi-LCv7glT/pub

@jotcarey Жыл бұрын
Many manufacturers (toasters, bicycles, etc.) design their cheapest product for the people who shop by price alone, with no thought given to durability, ease of use, etc. The one or two products above the bottom-feeder item are very often much better for a modest increase in price, because that's where the competition is about best quality for the money.
@LiftPizzas
@LiftPizzas Жыл бұрын
Buy the cheapest one first. If it breaks and you used it a lot or really needed it, buy a good one for more. If it breaks and you didn't need it, you paid the lowest possible price to find out. Doing this across all of your buying pays off in aggregate and you end up with the best of the things that are of actual importance to you. One caveat is as jotcarey said, often a slight step above the absolute cheapest is a huge improvement in value/quality so this can also be a viable strategy for the initial buy.

My mother drilled in my head that "Free-man died a long time ago", aka nothing is free. Lesson 5 is exactly that. Honestly, the 3rd option is the LEAST appealing to me. Lesson number 6, the test was false in both occasions. Asking kids in order to prove something is simply a bad idea. The kids acted like kids and, especially in the second test, they were simply playing around. All in all, I am the person who would try and use logic before doing something. The very last example made me think about snacks and their bag size compared to the content. I *never* look at the bag size and compare it with the price. I look at the *weight* and then compare it with the prize.

Uhm, I don't compare myself to others anymore. Stopped doing that as an adolescent as it is a pointless task. I also base purchase decisions on my actual need for a good or service, then once the need is established, I do the price/feature comparison to decide what to get (also looking at other information about the good/service as to reliability, durability, quality, etc.) -- though since most prices are set, there isn't any negotiation involved and the ability to get something decided on for less is taken away. Anyway, manipulation by marketers/advertisers/corporations is rampant as businesses seek to push to maximize profits despite our intentions or needs. Our economic system is a corrupt, unethical and immoral systems based on manipulation, coercion, and exploitation.

I usually pick certian foods a restaurants I go to depending on the time of year and what the weather is doing. I'm more likely to pick denser, richer foods like ribs and chilis in the winter, and lighter, juicier foods like pastas and salads in the summer. If I eat at a place enough, I also tend to change up what I eat because I'm curious about different things. Now that I'm older my tolerances have changed so I also tend to think about how salty or sweet something is going to be to me. I picked the first subscription option because I don't need a physical one cluttering up my space, and I'm cheap. XD Tricking people into an organ donor program is actually really shitty. It completely ignores how the person, or even their family might feel about such things. I hope they did not honestly, actually sign all of those people up as legally having concented to that kind of decision. Heck, at 14cents, I'd still buy the truffles! Those little suckers are usually between 50cents and a dollar a piece or more depending on their quality. But then again, I've come to appriciate quality chocolate over cheap stuff like a Hershey's bar. Sure, I'd take the free Hershey's bar if it was the only thing offered, but I'd take the cheap truffles over that. I tend to be skeptical when companies start giving away free things. There is usually some kind of catch attached to it unless it is say, a sample that is readily available with no sign up or purchase needed. I guess somewhere along the lines I became more sauvy about these kinds of things and I tend to weigh what I'm purchasing more heavily than most people do. I also compare cost vs weight when I'm at the grocery store. Sometimes something sounds more expensive, but when you consider you could buy two of the smaller item and get less in the total amount for the same cost, suddenly the slightly larger package doesn't seem as expensive. Granted, I do also have to consider the product itself. Sometimes if it is parishable, I simply won't use up the larger package in time to make it ultimately cost effective. Eh, I don't know... I've had steak from a fancy plate and found myself wishing I could take that same steak to my old coworkers at Chipotle and have them cook it instead because the fancy place didn't make it right. Granted, that is not always true. There is a resturant here where I live that is only middle of the road fancy, serves your food on a plain white plate after you watch the server cook it, and it's one of the best steaks I've ever had. Yes, it was pricer, but that was due to the steak cut itself. It was so tender it practically melted and the meat was enhanced by the little bit of salt, pepper and butter rather than covered up like too many places do with sauces. Fancy doesn't always mean good.

My degree is in graphic design. The profession I was trained for at The Defense Information School was Visual Information Specialist. Part of my job was military recruiting posters/websites/commercials as well as promotions and events. Make no mistake about it, it isn’t our job to make things look good. It’s our job to make things that manipulate your thought processes. The first step with any work order is who is your target audience and what would influence their decisions. I can increase the revenue of a nothing service by 10 fold or more just by providing them an identity. Not here to promote myself. I’m here to let you know you are heavily influenced by visual information and you gave that power to software with an intricate understanding of your neural behavior. AI being involved in advertising is going to muddy the entire market. Removing humans from art and giving it to a cold revenue machine was a mistake. The organic nature of how this used to work is about to die.

The organ donating thing pisses me off. The main reason people do not click the box is that they do not read every question. It should be illegal to have to check the box to avoid being stolen from or desecrated. You should only get what you actually checked. We can then assume that they read that item.

We definitely have an internal value meter. We place value on the use case for each product we consider purchasing. Those products are relative to one another based on which need is greater. We have an internal intuition of the hours of work it takes us to earnt he currency to make this comparative analysis of the products. The hours of effort is our internal value meter. It is not absolute or anything, but it definitely exist.

Opt in opt-out bias as well. Some people's technique for speed reading is assumption. Read the first couple of lines and if it looks familiar fill in the blank. Assume whatever choice widget is a opt in which is zero action and easy and not a opt out which would be work, and for whatever reason, it would seem unlawful to a lot of people if some entity was signing you up for something automatically. Another assumption is any entity wouldn't do something you think is unlawful and generally bad form. I also prefer cash over a few nice words in front of my colleagues from my manager. Mercenaries such as myself have to eat.

Limiting time for procrastinators works every time. For example, if I set the due time at 5pm, some of my coworkers ask for extension until the next day. If I say due by COB (close of business), all of them will submit before I start work the next day. For most people COB ends at midnight and it makes a big difference for them. As for me, I don’t care if the submit it at 5pm or at 7 am the next day. I have no plans to read their submission until the next morning anyway:)! In the end, everyone is happy!

1) The sample is students in the 1st example; obviously they will choose the print version. 2) Pricing Strategy for print and online kept the same; so the STUDENTS choose both and NONE choose the print version. 3) “DISCOUNT” are offered; to promote IMPULSE buying. 4) Price comparison works best for SIMILAR products ( Fish vs Meat ) doesn’t work; they taste different. 5) Discounting also doesn’t work; as it varies from vendor to vendor ( How you explain ) 6) Twiking question to obtain desired outcome is an old technique. It’s basically cash on your stupidity. 7) Automatically one can’t enroll into an organ donation plan. It’s illegal. 8) Retirement Plans are just a way of saving. The money that otherwise would have been spent on useless stuffs. 9) Some retirement plans are unique and are transferable. ( Check Those ) ~ INVestment Returns decided which is better.

The 25/5 really jumped out at me. That's the system that's recommended for practicing a musical instrument. Practice for 25 minutes, then do something 'fun' for 5 minutes, then back to 25 minutes (doing something 'fun' for only 5 minutes can be hard, especially when you've been wrapped up in something complex).

i have a similar system focus for 30mins working with no distractions Rest for 10mins without thinking about work and doing something fun and reward yourself Now...10min break means..... 10mins to get off the seat, have a coffee or whatever or go to the toilet and be back in the seat on the dot or before it wasn't 11mins it wasn't 15mins IT WAS STRICTLY 10MINS it absolutely works I've been self employed now for a long time when i was an employee, i remember doing this for the first time (Which i basically do now everyday) We were filling gaps in a database we had a database which had at least Name and Number and then gaps all over the place like surname, address, email etc etc Our job was not to sell (that would be the next teams job) our job was to ensure a complete database and to CONFIRM DETAILS we needed to call everyone to confirm this You're average employee would make around 30-50 calls a day and up to 50 data entry's a day They had 1 , 1 hour lunch break a day I did this and i was making around 350 - 400 calls a day and database entries, Now, in a 10 hour day i collectively had 2.5Hours Break and i didn't take my 1 hour normal lunch break I collectively worked 7.5 Hours the other employee's used to get the shits why i would take a break so often and it was almost like having 3 of their breaks the boss would say .....If you can get to 100 calls a day i'll let you take another hour break and if you can get to 200 a day i'll let you have another hour on top of that THEY TRIED........ THEY COULDN'T the system is interesting, but it primarily puts focus on Humans cannot stay concentrated effectively for extended time. so.. if i was to work solid for 7.5 hours i would also end up making 50 odd calls. you need to respect what your body can and can not do and optimize it at first my boss didn't go for it but i was lucky because i was doing this for a week before he noticed. then he looked at my screen to see how much work i got done and was amazed to see i was killing it IN MY MIND ..... I didn't think i was outperforming everyone by that much, i thought it was like 30 or 40 calls more but it wasn't and FROM THAT ALONE a project that was projected to take 6 months took 5 weeks AT THE END OF IT ALL THEY DID A SURVEY it was found THAT I PERSONALLY CLOSED OFF AND COMPLETED 83% OF THE ENTIRE DATABASE vs 4 other team members collectively so... Them 4, their collective efforts accounted for 17% of the completion of the database the results were nuts DID I GET A PAY RISE ? of course not, don't be stupid, it's not like i deserved it or anything LOL I'll be honest, this was a time when i learned a lot more than time efficiency. I learned, even if you work your arse off to this level YOU STILL WON'T GET A PAY RISE OR BONUS working your own business however...... that's different
