Psychological hacking to work harder than 99% of people

Hey, Arjun here.

Why don’t people work hard when it is clear for their best interests to do it?

The answer can be found by observing Tiger Woods vs Phil Mickelson.

Hack 2 minutes: Pre-Berkomitment to make public failure

Most people avoid working hard because psychologically safer has a reason. If you don’t try your best and fail, you can always say “I can succeed if I really try.”

The hacking is simple but strong: making a public commitment that removes your safety net.

How to implement this:

1. Announce your specific goals to people who in their opinion are appreciated

2. Share your preparation process publicly (through renewal, social media, etc.)

3. Set a deadline for concrete and results that can be tracked by others

4. Set the consequences not to follow up

Why this was successful:

When Tiger Woods lost, he could not tell himself, “I can practice more.” He worked as hard as possible in a humane way, which destroyed when he failed but also why he achieved extraordinary success.

Most psychological research about this is focused on why some children do not learn for tests. If you get drunk the night before the examination instead of learning and you fail, then the problem is you are drunk. If you learn and fail, the problem is you are stupid – and that is a much more painful conclusion.

This public pre-communication psychological hack functions because of that:

✅ Make external accountability that makes back pain

✅ Forcing you to face the possibility of failure for no reason

✅ Building the resilience needed to handle honest failures

✅ Interesting supporters who will help encourage you to move forward

The real founder did not protect the value. They do not maintain optionality. They go all-in, knowing the psychological risk is what separates them from the average player.

Bring away:

We all have to suffer one of two pain: disciplinary pain or pain pain.

With public communication in public for your purpose, you choose disciplinary pain because discipline weighing ONS while regret weighs tons.

Warnings about Tiger/Phil Examples: I fully recognize this is not a perfect analogy. Mickelson’s achievements are amazing and he is one of the best golfers ever lived.

The goal is not to “drop it” but to highlight important psychological principles:

• Working hard is actually very risky.

• Not working hard is a form of self -protection.

• Public Pre-Commitment eliminates your escape route.

• Extraordinary success requires extraordinary psychological endurance.

Try this: This week, select one project or purpose that you doubt. Make it public. Tell your team, your investor, your customers, or your social networking exactly what you do for and then. Then pay attention to how your behavior changes.

Press the reply and tell me what you are doing in public this week.

See you next week.
