Looks contradicting?
Rewards for working, don’t make sense?
Do it because you love it instead of doing it for a reward.
Imagine you let a group of kids draw pictures…
The kids have fun …
Then You give every kid for drawing a picture a reward…
After some time, the kids who love to draw pictures no longer draw any pictures without getting a reward.
Even worse drawing a picture is for the kids, no fun anymore.
Prof. Huberman explains the reason…
The brain produces the neurotransmitter Dopamine to get something accomplished and then we feel good.
When the kids could draw pictures without a reward, the brain also produced Dopamine… so drawing was fun.
After giving a reward for drawing a picture, the brain didn’t produce additional Dopamine during the time of drawing.
After the picture was ready, the brain produced Dopamine…
The goal is the path!
It is the journey, not the destination, that is the reward.
Strategies:
1. Don’t spike your dopamine before effort or after effort, but get your dopamine from the effort itself. That’s literally the code to unleashing the Beast – That’s real
2. Take baby steps to accomplish something meaningful… And then you get your Dopamine…
3. If we ask before we do a task, why should we do it?
We find the reasons why we should work…
That gives us from the beginning of the work Dopamine…
And the work becomes more enjoyable and so more fun. Because the work becomes meaningful, our brain produces Dopamine.
4. Just do it and don’t think over it, why should you not do it.
