Elevarse Performance Consulting

Need to ditch a bad habit? Want to start a positive new one, like adopting a productive morning routine, exercising, or eating healthier?

Wharton professor Katy Milkman, whose research explores ways that insights from economics and psychology can be harnessed to change consequential behaviors for good, explains how to make short-term gratification work for you:

1. Tap into “temptation bundling,” or pairing things you need to do with things you want to do.
2. Make work fun and tap into gamification to increase motivation.
