step-ing

3musesmerge.substack.com

With a wad of paper towel, Cal mopped up coffee she’d spilled. After clearing her throat she squeaked, “Do we have to?”

“Yes.” Nia wasn’t leaping about the idea either — and yet she knew what needed to be done.

“It’ll be funnnnn!” Thalia transformed anxious into awesome. “First we get to go to The Bread Pedalers — and then — offffffffff to the clinic to share cranberry walnut and salted caraway rye with our caregivers! An expression of gratitude — with a side of gentle elbow — to inspire returns for our collaboration call!”

So, what’s a nudge? A nudge is some small feature of the environment that attracts our attention and alters our behavior.

Nice nudge quote to go with the gentle elbow. Today's nudge will be to try out a self-reinforcing nudge. Now, it's time for some coffee and to figure what on earth a self-reinforcing nudge is.
