I want to help you understand habits so you can create a better life
Psychology Today summarizes some of my methods. Not quite how I'd say it, but it's okay
Quoting someone else, the article says give yourself a reward like a coffee.
My view: That's an incentive. Not a reward

- The world is awful.
- The world is much better.
- The world can be SO much better.
Given many global problems come from how people think, feel or behave on their own or in groups, #BSci practitioners are uniquely placed to have positive impact.
I’m making data collection easier, how about you?
