Make The Odds Forever In Your Favour
A great first hack to conquer habits.
The UK’s Behavioural Insights Team (BIT) conducted a study in a hospital where they removed sugary drinks from a prominent position and replaced them with healthier options.
Result: Healthy beverage sales went up by 12% while sugary beverages declined by the same amount.
Insight: A great first hack to conquer habits.
Remember the age-old saying, “Out of sight, out of mind”? In this case, the opposite worked too. By placing healthy options and even water readily available and easily visible all the time, the participants in the study were more likely to drink these.
Now apply this to any habit you want to conquer.

Let’s make the odds more in our favour!
