of the Max Planck Institute for Human Development identifies four self-nudging techniques that may improve your self-control with minimal willpower. Their paper,"Self-Nudging and the Citizen Choice Architect," was published online March 26 in the journal.
"This article argues that nudges can often be turned into self-nudges: empowering interventions that enable people to design and structure their own decision environments—that is, to act as citizen choice architects," Reijula and Hertwig state in the opening line of their paper."The idea behind self-nudging is that people can design and structure their own environments in ways that make it easier for them to make the right choices—and ultimately to reach their long-term goals," the authors explain in a news release. Reijula and Hertwig also describe how the choices we make are part of an environmental architecture that can be rearranged via a two-step process:in which we make our choices—also known as the choice architecture—influences our decisions. The second step is to change that architecture—whether it be the constant notifications from our smartphone or the positioning of the foods in our fridge—in ways that enable us to make choices that are in our own interests
