Super engaging crowd at tonight’s Hooked talk in NYC

Enjoyed my interview with @feministabulous for her show "Consider It". We discussed why becoming #indistractable is the skill of the century.

Howdy from Dallas! Speaking today at SolidWorks

#Repost @stacytarver ・・・ #nowreading... Just finished @neyal99 ‘s book “HOOKED” which was a great gift from the boss for CNY this year. Hooked does a nice and very succinct job of explaining the tactics used by many of your favorite digital products and app makers to get users to make a regular habit of using their products. It’s also a manual for those who are trying to do this with their own products, with many straightforward frameworks and examples. But amidst all the current conversation on digital wellness and addiction by design, I thought this “manipulation matrix” was so simple and on point - my favorite part of the book. Also since we spend so much of our lives at work, I thought this matrix was helpful for any employee or job seeker, regardless of whether you make habit-forming digital products or not. — Trying something new with this book - summarizing my full takeaways on @postit notes in my story. — #19notebook #art #books #design #digital #doodle #entrepreneurship #goodtype #handlettering #igreads #lettering #love #muji #notes #notetaking #notestoself #startup #studygram #studygrammer #type #typedesign #typeface #typography

That's why I always advise entrepreneurs to build a product for themselves--at least that way you ensure you've built something for a user you know intimately. All of the great tech companies of the past decade--Facebook, Twitter, Slack, Snapchat--were built by founders who were making products they wanted to use." - Nir Eyal #kal #kingadvertising #marketing #marketingagency #marketingagencyguyana #marketingguyana #fullservice #media #advertising #graphics #Georgetown #guyana #592 #kingofmarketing #business #marketingroots #traditional #nireyal #entrepenuer #entrerepreneurship

Wearing red for a happy Chinese New Year!

‪Should we blame the baker for making food "addictive?" Would we prefer the baker make food less delicious? Of course not! Yes, some people suffer from food addiction, but the vast majority can manage temptation with some forethought if we learned to be #indistractable

Today's run

Free will may be an illusion but free choice is not. Humans can plan ahead in ways no other animal can. We can make the future we want. #indistractable

Shooting some great video today for Indistractable!

‪Any analgesic is potentially addictive. ‬ ‪Therefore, any product that satiates pain will addict someone if used by a sufficiently large number of people.‬ ‪Big companies need to have a "use and abuse policy" to help addicted users. https://www.nirandfar.com/2017/05/tech-companies-addicting-people-stop.html‬ #indistractable #technology #addiction
