Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “This Painful Gadget Kills Your Bad Habits”.
What’S up guys Lew here back with another video. Today I got a weird one. And I’m a little bit nervous to be honest. Inside here is something called Pavlok..
It’S a piece of tech. This is what I know like what I know is actually pretty vague.. It’S a piece of tech that helps you break bad habits.
Got ta love those.. The case study on their site is about someone quitting smoking, but there’s also another guy. I think it’s the founder of the company who he used this tech to quit, eating tortilla chips.. What does it do? It sends a shock to your body.. Every time you do the bad habit like a real shock. You wear it on your wrist. “. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then is not an act, but a habit.” Aristotle Charge Pavlok place it on your wrist wear throughout the day, pressing firmly on the lightning bolt will release Pavloks stimulus. Pair the stimulus with your bad habit or craving.. So, in the case of the tortilla chips, you shock yourself enough times every time you eat one and you start to think of the shock when you see tortilla chips. And you don’t even wan na, let them in your life anymore.. That’S the idea. Here.
Alright. Reduce cravings pizza, ice-cream Love, pizza, Doughnuts., You see the doughnut, you want the doughnut. Zap Cause. You got ta press the button.
You got, ta do the shock., So you got ta, be honest with yourself: still.. Here’S, the bracelet., Lightning bolt on the front. It’S kinda like a watch..
This, I guess, is the unit.. Oh man, I can feel the pain already.. It’S like a metal brick.
And a little micro-USB cable.. I guess charges this guy up, here., (, Laughs, ). I mean how much of a shock can it be? They’Re selling it to you., Oh man, it’s not gon na be fun., So lets say: ok, alright, I’m doing the habit. I’M smoking the cigarette or I’m eating the chip or icecream doughnuts.
I’M not waking up on time., I’m a nightmare. I’M a disaster of a human being. And then I just press this. When I get that Whew.. Should I do it? Do I press down Nothing. It must. Need to be charged. Right. Look at those creepy red lights., Hey Just creepy., So I’m gon na go ahead and search for the app real quick while it’s charging. Pavlok..
Essentially what you’re doing is your are kinda hacking, your mind in a sense., But you are lets not get it twisted. You’Re wearing the human equivalent of a dog shock collar Beep, vibrate zap.. You can adjust the power of these things. Here. Lets see. If I get something positive or negative out of this., ( laughs, ), Just something about getting shocked., You know No fun.
What do I tap it Tap to connect. Pair.? Ok, so so what Can I do? A zap, real, quick, (, Loud sigh )? Oh Damn, (, Unintelligible ). It’S not a good feeling.! Why am I beings such a whimp? Here? We go again. (, Screams ).
That would train me., I’m feeling trained already.. I don’t even wanna- Man that is crazy. That’S uh, 50 percent., That’s 50 percent. ( nervous sigh ), 100 percent.
What about my ticker Ugh.? Let me go up. Slowly. I’ll go to 70 and then I’ll go to 100. Oooh. It’S not a little buzz it. A (, loud sound ). Let’S go to 100. Oooh ( Laughs ). That shock is no joke. The problem is you still need some self-control..
You need to in charge enough to say “ when you get the craving hit the button.”. What is this tapping thing. Press firmly on the lightning bolt. Bamn, But I can see like if you truly wanted to get committed to attach your craving to that shock, and you got willpower to do it.
You might be able to rewire yourself. Give the remote to Your spouse. Connect it on Bluetooth around the house.. You pick up that cigarette.
( shock sound ), Woah .
