"Asking your kid if he wants 3 big broccoli or 6 little ones, same portion size."
"Just promise to do 3 minutes of that thing you are putting off. Usually once you start, keeping going is easy."
"If you present someone with a limited set of options, usually two or three, instead of asking an open-ended question, you can subtly guide them towards making a decision that aligns more closely with what you want.
For example, instead of asking “What do you want to do tonight?”. You can say, “Would you like to watch a movie or go out for dinner?”"
"If you greet people as though you are excited to see them, they will be equally happy to see you. This works great if you work in customer service and don’t want to deal with people with bad attitudes. "
"When someone is mad at you, stay calm and lower your voice. It confuses their anger response and might just make them feel like they’re the crazy ones. It’s like turning down the volume on a chaotic playlist!"
"Silence. If you want to know something, ask the question, then wait. People want to fill the silence and will talk and talk."
"If you make a favor seem bigger than it is before asking it, the person on the receiving end is much more likely to help."
"Mirroring is incredible… if you can pull it off from a simple swinging of a chair or a gentle smile… You can actually control their presence."
"When walking in a crowded area, look where you’re going and not at the other people. They will naturally move out of your line of sight, making it quicker to move around."
"Having a heated argument?
Ask the other person if they’re okay because they’re breathing really hard. They will stop arguing and try to pay attention to their breathing, which will end that discussion."
"Think of my future self…
– How will my future self feel in an hour or two if I skip my gym session?– Will my future self be happy if I do this pile of dishes now, before bed? Or would he prefer to have to do it in the morning, before work?– I have a three-month deadline on this project. Will my future self appreciate my current self taking the first three or four weeks easy, or will he be really pissed off?
…essentially delayed gratification. "
"If you want to emphasize a point, no matter how small, change your vocabulary. For example, instead of saying “I’ve been doing that for 8 years, say “I’ve been doing this for almost a decade.”"
"To avoid workplace drama and be well-liked? Just compliment people behind their back…"
"Listening to someone without giving advice or pushing for more information typically nets me more information than being pushy for it."
"When somebody shy is speaking, if you look at them and nod your head, it encourages them to keep talking."
"In an argument, find something to agree on, then push your main point."
"If someone says they have the hiccups, ask them to prove it. 9/10 times, their hiccups will disappear. Having to summon a hiccup to demonstrate will trick your diaphragm into just Not Hiccuping."
"My husband says, “I will give you $50 if you hiccup two more times.” It works amazingly well — he’s never had to pay me."
