Episode notes

This chapter discusses how implementing a token system helped reduce screen time and increase reading among a group of individuals. By opening a book for 30 minutes, individuals naturally wanted to keep reading, leading to a significant increase in reading time. The token system created a positive culture around screen time and reading, bringing order and reducing the constant need for approval for more screen time.

If your life is anything like mine, you probably have far more problems than you can solve in one day. It’s easy to become overwhelmed. When this happens, it is often our most important relationships that suffer. But the good news is there is a solution. Taking just a few moments to celebrate small wins, especially with those that matter most, can change the equation in your favor.

In this episode, my wife Anna and I explore concrete ways you can reinforce good behavior at home, avoiding the temptation only to see what someone is doing wrong, and how to use microbursts of effort to improve your relationships.
