Mental Contract
A few days back I attended a talk by the founder of DocStoc.com. It gave me good perspective about how funds are raised by correctly pitching your business plans to Venture Capitalists and Angel Investors. He mentioned that he was more committed to the completion of his task when he spoke about it to another person. Every time he spoke about his tasks in conversations with people, he formed a 'mental contract' that made him more inclined towards achieving that goal. I always had such motivating factors too but I never understood how it works for me! But now I know how...
I was speaking to the hostess of this amazing Jewish celebration dinner ('shabbat') I went to today and told her that I blog. (TRIGGER!) I come home and I again start blogging!!! May be it was because I attended that talk the other day, may be I talked about blogging to someone! Can't say for sure. But if this works, I'm going to keep ranting about what all I want to do to everyone I talk to! :D
