It&#8217;s difficult for people to wait for things, Dobelli says, a tendency that accelerates the closer you come to attaining gratification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-5c253c86-7551-4eb8-9907-049d6062600e\">(Shortform note: While Dobelli doesn\u2019t define it as such, this is an example of overused hot cognition and underused cold cognition. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pnas.org\/content\/pnas\/108\/36\/14998.full.pdf\">People who can delay gratification have better-developed prefrontal cortexes<\/a>, the part of the brain that handles cold cognition. Thus, they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/defer-gratification\/\">delay gratification<\/a> by using their prefrontal cortexes to engage cold cognition. Meanwhile, those with less developed prefrontal cortexes are more susceptible to the instinctual desire for instant gratification.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-a37aa09e-21ac-45b4-abf0-3f99bcbeb944\">Dobelli says this is an instinctive trait from times when humans were more animalistic, noting that animals display this trait too. Consider wolves, who <a href=\"https:\/\/wolf.org\/wolf-info\/basic-wolf-info\/biology-and-behavior\/hunting-feeding-behavior\/#:~:text=However%2C%20wolves%20don%E2%80%99t%20actually%20eat%20everyday.%20Instead%2C%20they%20live%20a%20feast%20or%20famine%20lifestyle%3B%20they%20may%20go%20several%20days%20without%20a%20meal%20and%20then%20gorge%20on%20over%2020%20pounds%20of%20meat%20when%20a%20kill%20is%20made.\">eat almost half their body weight at once<\/a>. They can\u2019t delay gratification because they don\u2019t know when they\u2019ll have another meal. However, humans no longer need instant gratification to survive, so hyperbolic discounting just leads to bad decisions, like paying an unreasonably high amount to get something quicker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-avoid-hyperbolic-discounting\"><strong>How to Avoid Hyperbolic Discounting<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>How can you avoid hyperbolic discounting (and, therefore, bad decisions)? Dobelli doesn\u2019t say, but one solution is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/priming-meaning\/\">priming<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/thedecisionlab.com\/biases\/hyperbolic-discounting\/#section-6\">Priming means exposing yourself to certain stimuli that encourage your brain to respond to later, different stimuli in a desired way<\/a>. In the case of hyperbolic discounting, you\u2019d expose yourself to stimuli that encourage you to delay gratification the next time you encounter a choice between delaying and immediacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two ways to prime yourself to delay gratification:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Talk about your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-plan-for-the-future\/\">future plans<\/a>.<\/strong> Using the words \u201cfuture\u201d and \u201cself-control\u201d can prime you to delay gratification later on. Combining these words with a broader discussion of your plans reinforces your goals and makes you more likely to carry them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Imagine talking to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/your-future-self\/\">your future self<\/a>.<\/strong> This exercise lets you see a possible result of your decisions. Focus on avoiding instant gratification in the long-term by imagining a positive future for yourself if you make good long-term decisions. Imagining a negative future that comes from instant gratification also works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is hyperbolic discounting bias?
