Awesome Psychological Hacks (3)

Here are five more of today's awesome psychological hacks to help to make your life more productive.

  1. GIVE THEM A CHOICE!
    Always give your kid a choice that makes them think they are in control. For instance, when you want your kid to put their shoes on. Ask them,”Do you want to put on your dinosaur shoes or your shark shoes?”

  2. BE FIRST OR LAST!
    People always have the clearest memory of first and last thing that happens, while the middle becomes a vague blur. So if you’re setting the time for an interview, try and be the first or last through the door.


  3. TOUCH!
    People are extraordinarily aware of their sense of touch. If someone 'accidentally’ rests their knee on yours, they may not act like they realize it, but they definitely know that it's there.

  4. SLEEP ON YOUR RIGHT SIDE!
    Did you know that by sleeping on your right side.It will help you fall asleep faster than by sleeping on your left.


  5. USE SILENCE TO DEAL WITH ANGER
    When someone shouts or otherwise loses their temper, don't react the same way. Instead, look at them with a blank stare and keep quiet. Most of the time they'll calm down.

Here are today's awesome psychological hacks to make your life more productive and profitable.

  1. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF FIRST!
    Each and everyone of us have our own problems. Be it financial, physical, emotional or mental. Learn to work on your own problems before you try to help someone else with theirs. If, you don't, there is a good chance, that your problems will get worse. Some problems need to be taken care of today or they will get worse.

  2. TAKE 10%!
    Take 10% out of every check and treat yourself. Make a rule to deduct 10% from each check and, you guessed it, treat yourself to something nice. It doesn’t matter rather you buy a diamond ring or a blueberry muffin. This reward will keep you healthy and give you a positive, tangible purpose to keep working hard.

  3. APOLOGIZE WHOLEHEARTEDLY!
    Apologies sound insincere when they’re following by the word “but.” Replace the conjunction with a simple pause in speech. For instance, trade “I’m sorry, but I’m out of luck” for “I’m sorry. I’m out of luck,” and you’ll sound more genuine.



  4. UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE!
    People are different. Some people are generally nice and friendly, others only appear to be so. It’s important to understand the difference.

  5. EYE COLOR!
    When you first meet people, try to notice their eye color while also smiling at them. It might be because you look for a second or two longer, but all I can tell you is that people really respond to it.

Awesome Psychological Hacks (1)

To continue our series of awesome psychological hacks, we have compiled 7 more awesome psychological hacks that you can start using today.
  1. TRY SHUTTING UP!
    If someone gives you a lousy answer to a question, just stay quiet and maintain eye contact and they’ll usually feel pressured to keep talking and reveal more. I don't know why it works, but it always does, especially in high stakes situations like negotiations.

  2. LEARN BY TEACHING!
    Studies have shown that you retain a lot more information and overall comprehension when you teach something that you know to someone else.

  3. JUST NOD!
    Nodding is a universal sign of agreement. When you nod in front of someone they'll start to nod as well. This turns them to an agreement state of mind and sets the groundwork to allow you to ask for favors.

  4. WARM HANDS!
    If you have a warm hand when you shake somebody’s hand, you immediately become a more desirable to get along with.

  5. STAY SILENT!
    If you ask someone a question and they only partially answer just wait. If you stay silent and keep eye contact they will usually continue talking.



  6. USE EMOTIONS!
    People don't remember you, they remember how you make them feel. When talking infuse your words with sincere emotions and people will pick up on it and like you more.

  7. WHO'S HAVING SEX WITH WHO?
    When laughter breaks out in a group of people, each one will instinctively glance at whichever other individual they feel closest to in that group. People who've been naked together seem to feel pretty close.

Awesome Psychological Hacks

You can improve the outcome of any social situation. Just use some of these awesome psychological hacks collected from Quora, Reddit and other online sources listed below, to improve your life.

  1. WOMAN WEAR RED!
    For women the color red makes them exponentially more attractive. Research has shown that men will go to great lengths to do things for a woman that is dressed in red than they would not do otherwise for a womsn dressed in another color like give her money or even carry her across the street.

  2. DO THE DIRTY FIRST!
    Next time, that you are required to check off an entire list of “work to do”, always start with the most difficult one first. Doing this tends to make the whole process (work load)less tiring and you can get it done much faster.

    "Do the dirty first" first signifies doing a ugly/most unwanted thing first. This work psychologically, when you complete the most hated thing at first, the thing becomes- “Yes! Now, the rest of the day will be so much easier, glad I took care of that first!” this increases your chances to finish off the entire list within or in less than time than you figured.

  3. SAY MY NAME!
    Alright, don't say mine (which is Brian and pleased to meet you..) but say the name of the person whom you wish to hold a good opinion about you.
    This works when you meet someone for first time, now instead of saying "good bye", say the person name like "good bye John". The person would love the fact that you paid him attention when he was telling you his name (since you are meeting him for first time) and he will ought to think that you had paid attention to his entire talk as well, which might mean that you are a good person to him.

  4. The most charming people have the strange habit of using your name a lot. When you meet someone, help yourself remember their name by saying it a lot in conversation which has the added effect of making them like you.

  5. PICK UP AFTER YOURSELF IMMEDIATELY!
    Even if you are tired, do yourself a favor, and pick up that shoe you just tossed on the floor. You are going to pick it up eventually. Fight the laziness, take care of it now and you will have one less thing to do later.

  6. LEARN BY TEACHING!
    Studies show you retain a lot more information and your overall comprehension improves when you teach something you know to someone


  7. THREATS INTO CHALLENGES!
    The same reaction your body has to fear is the exact same reaction you have when exhibiting courage. Reframe threats into challenges.

  8. PAY ATTENTION TO PEOPLE'S FEET!
    If you approach two people in the middle of a conversation and they only turn their torsos and not their feet, they don’t want you to join in the conversation.
    Similarly, if you are in a conversation with a coworker who you think is paying attention to you and their torso is turned towards you but their feet are facing in another direction, they want the conversation to end.

  9. BUILD LITTLE HABITS!
    Habits take almost no mental energy to keep up, so they’re a great way to get the most out of your life. Build a tiny habit of focusing on your craft every day. If you’re a writer, try to publish a 100-word Medium article every day. Sounds too easy? That’s the point.

  10. ARGUMENT FIRST, STANCE SECOND!
    Make sure to tell people what you believe first rather than why you believe it. For example if you say I'm an atheist and this is what I believe, people will discount you because they already know the motivations of your actions.

  11. FOCUS ON THE PROCESS!
    The mind is a wonderful thing, instead of focusing on the end goal, focus on the steps, that you'll need to take to reach it. Your mind will come up with amazing ideas to help you reach them.
