Letâs get to the part where the magic happens. You already know weâre in behavior modeling mode now. Below, weâll help you get the most out of reward loops in the design, experimentation, and feedback phases.
âLaunching an experiment takes time. When that doesnât work, at least we can organize our data, brainstorm experiments, make predictions, and learn how to troubleshoot different challenges when they come up. This mental work is as important as running a test and analyzing the data.
Questions to ask when designing loops for others:
â
Designing Behaviour for Yourself
The best behavioural scientists we know are often experimenting in their own lives, where they can get data much faster and shorten feedback cycles.
You can do quick-and-dirty experiments with reward loops in your own life around personal goals you might have. Even if the behaviour or tactics aren't relevant to others, practicing this kind of thinking and design can translate to your professional work.
Example:Â How can I experiment with designing the first and subsequent iterations of reward loops for myself to do X more often or consistently?
Zoom, Loom, and Slack
That's it for week 3. Let's go design some loops and experiments!
