Hmm isn't that just like a swear jar? You don't get rid of the swears or the trivializing but rather you just replace the particular words being used for the trivializing.
So what's the benefit?
- derrekl 9y agoI think being called out for a bad habit is a step in the direction of replacing/improving it. In some cases it’s enough and the person caught figures out a better habit themselves. In other cases more techniques/actions are necessary. As it relates to this article the context was nicely set to illustrate the jar technique. Other contexts would need to be set to illustrate techniques related to situations where calling out is not enough.
- zorak 9y agoSwear jar is a great analogy. Also, that'll be $2. It's a game mechanic that encourages people to be more thoughtful about how they think about a problem. Not perfect, like the swear jar, but it has some value in changing behavior.
- BeetleB 9y agoYou owe the "just" jar $2.
