This week’s podcast is about habit formation. And Gmail is a good example of a moderate version of this that can be copied.
You can listen to this podcast here, which has the slides and graphics mentioned. Also available at iTunes and Google Podcasts.

Here are the 4 psych hacks:
- Gmail is Habit Forming via a High Frequency Utility Over a Long Time
- Gmail is Internally Triggering. That’s the Gold Standard.
- Gmail Has Task Completion Rewards. Ok But Not as Good as Variable Rewards.
- Gmail has Infinite Variability. But This Is More Powerful in Entertainment than a Utility.
A lot of this is from the book Hooked: How to Build Habit Forming Products, by Nir Eyal.
