The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Streaks, and How to Do It Right

I have been “learning” German on Duolingo for about 700 days straight (almost).
So am I the new Goethe (Shakespeare of German literature) now? You can bet on your answer.

With great power comes great irresponsibility

Streaks are a powerful way for us to get things done (or to get things done by us).
Paradoxically, using this power can sometimes make us get those exact things not done.

Agenda

In this session, we will discuss how to use streaks as a tactic for desired behavioral change correctly, covering:

• Streaks around us
• Benefits and pitfalls
• Case studies through examples and anecdotes
• A framework to apply this tactic together with other techniques
• Exercises to design systems for members of the audience looking to get things done
• Open discussions with the audience

• Type of talk: Open Discussion
