Hey friends,
Welcome back! 👋
If you're a regular reader of this journal prompt series I just want to say thank you for all of the love and support and I've got something special for you today.

Now, let's talk about Uri Gneezy's wisdom and how it can inspire us to reflect on our own behaviors and decisions.
In the podcast episode, Uri shares a fascinating story about the daycare center that implemented a late fee for parents who picked up their kids late, only to see the number of late pickups increase. Uri explains that this happened because the fee changed the parents' perception of the situation from a social obligation to a financial transaction. It's a powerful reminder of how our decisions can be influenced by the framing and incentives around us.
So, for today's journal prompt, let's take a moment to reflect on our own lives and the decisions we make:
How have incentives or framing influenced a decision you've made recently, and how might you reframe a situation to create better outcomes?
As you ponder this question, consider this snippet from the podcast:
Uri Gneezy: "We need to understand that people are not just driven by money. They're driven by a combination of things, like social norms, emotions, and moral values."
Remember, the key to meaningful journaling is to dive deep and be honest with yourself. Reflect on how you make decisions in different contexts and what factors influence those choices.
By considering these insights from Uri Gneezy, you can cultivate a greater awareness of your own decision-making processes and take more control over your life.
As always, I encourage you to share your thoughts and experiences with our community. Your insights can spark meaningful discussions and help others on their journey towards wisdom.
Thank you for the continued support ❤
Keep reflecting and growing!
Until next time,
Your friend, Austin ✌🤟
