Episode Highlights
How Do Push Notifications Work?
- Almost all personal development apps use push notifications to remind you to complete whatever goal you are working on.
- Great for using as day to day reminders, but not so good for long term goals.
- It was found that push notifications are extremely valuable when the content is focused on attitude change.
What Research Shows That Push Notifications Are Valuable?
- The article referenced in this episode is, “Promoting physical activity through text messages: the impact of attitude and goal priority messages”, and was written by Tom St. Quinton, Ben Morris, Martin J. Barwood and Mark Conner.
- The study focused on two content areas: attitude and goal prioritization towards physical activity.
- The purpose of this study was to see if either area increased physical activity in participants.
- The research found that attitude focused push notifications increased physical activity.
- The research also found that goal priority push notifications had no impact on physical activity.
- This study proves that changing your attitude towards a goal can have a positive impact.
How Can You Use Push Notifications To Better Your Life?
- Use the notifications from your apps as a way to get you excited.
- Pair this notification with a positive message about that activity.
- Over time your attitude will change.
- Find a partner or my new app to hold you accountable.
