Joe Fier explains how framing tasks as a dare to yourself can shake you out of inertia and make them more fun. The psychological shift of "I dare you" adds engagement and helps you notice what you're actually capable of doing.
I love that. It's powerful. I dare you. I mean, like, we all grew up, like, as kids, you know, it's like, I dare you to do. But whatever, you know, it's like, yeah, we. We've all been faced with those moments, but it's almost like, yeah, when you tell yourself that, like, oh, I dare you to do that, it's like, it's not a common thing, I would imagine that we tell ourselves. Right.
I think that's what helps people do it because it's sort of just like, shakes them up, you know, and it adds a little bit layer of fun. So I always try to make things fun for people, and that's what I encourage anyone listening. If you're something right now, it is not fun. You need to find a way to make it fun, because otherwise, why are you doing it?
Maybe you can walk us through the framework a little bit as something, or at least frame it in a way where the idea you is one thing. At the same time, it's like, don't we have to notice what's the thing?
