Create precommitment devices that impose costs…
Create precommitment devices that impose costs on your future self for deviating from chosen actions, because your future self operates under different constraints than your current self.
Why This Is a Principle
Grounded in Humans discount future rewards hyperbolically rather… (hyperbolic discounting), The human brain treats the future self as neurologically… (brain treats future self as distinct), and Human memory under stress and cognitive load is unreliable… (memory under stress is unreliable). This principle prescribes creating binding constraints now to overcome predictable future failures, derived from Schelling's precommitment theory and validated by StickK's practical success.
