Doing something youre avoiding by just doing the smallest possible step, like washing one plate.
It cracks the procrastination paralysis and you usually end up doing the whole thing anyway.

It cracks the procrastination paralysis and you usually end up doing the whole thing anyway.
Greet them by it when you see them, even if thats the only time this week you might.
People really like it when someone remembers them.
3.When someone is upset, repeat back what they said.
It helps them to hear what their words sounded like and isnt judgmental.
When you come back in youll see the object and remember why you left it there.
5.Fake it until you make itcan really trick you into doing something you didnt want to do.
And then next thing I know Im balls deep into my report.
6.The best way to get a question answered is to just guess at the answer.
If you are wrong, people will fall all over themselves to correct you.
This is called Moores Law.
7.I think its called the hairy arms trick.
Its amazing how people respond.
So often as people we interrupt each other before things reach a deeper level.
Plus, some people find silence uncomfortable and need to fill it.
Ive found out so much this way.
It subconsciously primes them to agree.
I use this trick for up-selling at work all of the time.
It works dangerously well if I use some nonverbal communication too.
10.Want people to trust you and tell you something?
Share something that holds value to you.
Often people will feel like they now have to tell you something back
11.Just look straight forward when walking.
People wont bother you or get in your way.
People fight more for their ideas.
13.As a salesperson, getting the customer to buy extra shit by directing their gaze.
Like I would ask, Oh, and do you need any X today?
while deliberately looking in the direction of that item.
The customer instinctively follows my gaze to it and ends up buying it after seeing it.
This trick works way better than just asking if theyd like to buy something else.
14.Saying thanks rather than kindly.
As a teacher I use this on small things like instructions when I dont want to argue with students.
It implies that there is no conversation or option for the students.
So, what I usually ask if they complain is, How would you suggest doing it then?
17.If they can do it, I can do it.
And if those morons can do it, I sure as shit can do it as well.
18.The human brain can usually differentiate between a fake polite smile and a genuine one.
Ive gotten better service at places and free stuff.
Do you want to do the dishes now or in an hour?
It makes a lot of peoples brains skip the big answer which isnone of those.
21.I wouldnt call it a trick, but empathizing with someone goes a long way.
22.Talk softer so people either de-escalate or pay more attention.
Im a school teacher with a high number of students with trauma.
Major issues while getting my routines established, but theyre now super warm to me because Im reliably predictable.
I have two outfits that I alternate, a mon/wed/fri and a tue/thurs.
Same greeting at the start of class, same start to every class etc.
Have very transparent discipline too, they know exactly what gets a detention and what doesnt.
26.When Im in public, and I think somebody is looking at me, I yawn.
Since yawning is contagious, they will yawn as well.
you’re free to literally trick their own ego against them.
This is also a great way to make enemies like you more.
Ive made enemies into friends using this trick.
Itll trick their subconscious into convincing them they like you.
Very handy at work.
29.Im not nervous, Im excited nerve killer every time!
