1747
manfaatkan kuasa pra-komitmen.
01:09
FundamentallyPada dasarnya, we think about ourselvesdiri kita sendiri
in two differentberbeza wayscara:
29
69437
3023
Asasnya, kita melihat diri kita
dalam dua cara:
01:12
our presentsekarang selfdiri sendiri and our futuremasa depan selfdiri sendiri.
30
72484
2461
diri sekarang dan diri masa depan.
01:14
In the futuremasa depan, we're perfectsempurna.
31
74969
1651
Pada masa depan, kita sempurna.
01:16
In the futuremasa depan, we're going to
savesimpan for retirementPersaraan,
32
76644
2356
Pada masa depan, kita akan
simpan untuk persaraan,
01:19
we're going to losekehilangan weightberat badan,
33
79024
1295
turunkan berat badan,
01:20
we're going to call our parentsibu bapa more.
34
80343
1793
hubungi ibu bapa lebih kerap.
Namun kita sering terlupa
diri masa depan
01:22
But we oftentimessering kali forgetlupa
that our futuremasa depan selfdiri sendiri
35
82160
2125
01:24
is exactlybetul-betul the samesama personorang
as our presentsekarang selfdiri sendiri.
36
84309
3040
adalah orang yang sama
dengan diri sekarang.
01:27
We know that one of the bestterbaik timeskali to savesimpan
is when you get your taxcukai returnkembali.
37
87373
3579
Kami tahu antara masa terbaik menyimpan
adalah ketika dapat pulangan cukai.
01:30
So we triedcuba an A/B testujian.
38
90976
1634
Jadi kami cuba ujian A/B.
01:32
In the first groupkumpulan, we textedtexted people
in earlyawal FebruaryFebruari,
39
92634
3389
Dalam kumpulan pertama, kami mesej
orang di awal bulan Februari,
01:36
hopefullysemoga berjaya before
they even filedDifailkan for theirmereka taxescukai.
40
96047
2452
harapnya sebelum mereka failkan cukai.
01:38
And we askedbertanya them,
41
98523
1159
Kemudian kami tanya,
01:39
"If you get a taxcukai refundPembayaran balik,
what percentageperatusan would you like to savesimpan?"
42
99706
3337
"Jika dapat pulangan cukai,
berapa peratus yang boleh simpan?"
01:43
Now this is a really hardkeras questionsoalan.
43
103067
1698
Ia soalan yang sukar.
01:44
They didn't know if they would
receiveterima a taxcukai refundPembayaran balik or how much.
44
104789
3576
Mereka tak tahu jika mereka dapat
pulangan atau jumlahnya.
01:48
But we askedbertanya the questionsoalan anywayapa juga.
45
108389
1693
Namun kami tanya juga soalan itu.
01:50
In the secondkedua groupkumpulan, we askedbertanya people
right after they receivedmenerima theirmereka refundPembayaran balik,
46
110106
4189
Dalam kumpulan kedua, kami tanya
sebaik mereka terima pulangan,
01:54
"What percentageperatusan would you like to savesimpan?"
47
114319
1976
"Berapa peratus yang nak simpan?"
01:56
Now, here'sdi sini what happenedberlaku.
48
116319
1294
Ini yang berlaku.
01:57
In that secondkedua conditionkeadaan, when people
just receivedmenerima theirmereka taxcukai refundPembayaran balik,
49
117637
3935
Dalam keadaan kedua, apabila mereka
baru terima pulangan cukai,
02:01
they wanted to savesimpan about 17 percentperatus
of theirmereka taxcukai refundPembayaran balik.
50
121596
3121
mereka mahu simpan kira-kira
17 peratus pulangan cukai.
02:04
But in the conditionkeadaan when we askedbertanya people
before they even filedDifailkan theirmereka taxescukai,
51
124741
4516
Dalam keadaan kami tanya sebelum
mereka failkan cukai,
02:09
savingssimpanan rateskadar increasedmeningkat
from 17 percentperatus to 27 percentperatus
52
129281
4453
kadar simpanan meningkat
dari 17 peratus kepada 27 peratus
02:13
when we askedbertanya in FebruaryFebruari.
53
133758
1378
bila tanya di bulan Februari.
02:15
Why?
54
135160
1170
Kenapa?
02:16
Because you're committingmelakukan
for your futuremasa depan selfdiri sendiri,
55
136354
2216
Sebab anda beri komitmen
pada diri masa depan,
02:18
and of coursekursus your futuremasa depan selfdiri sendiri
can savesimpan 27 percentperatus.
56
138594
2699
dan tentulah diri masa depan
boleh simpan 27 peratus.

Semasa saya tinggal di New York City,
04:02
Back when I livedhidup in NewBaru YorkYork CityBandar,
98
242713
1731
04:04
I lookedkelihatan at my expensesperbelanjaan
99
244468
1381
saya lihat perbelanjaan saya
04:05
and saw that I spentdibelanjakan over 2,000 dollarsdolar
on ride-sharingPerkongsian Ride appsaplikasi.
100
245873
4190
dan dapati saya belanja hampir $2,000
pada aplikasi perkongsian kenderaan.
Lebih banyak dari kos sewa
di New York City.
04:10
It was more than my NewBaru YorkYork CityBandar rentsewa.
101
250087
2015
04:12
I vowedbersumpah to make a changeubah.
102
252126
1802
Saya berjanji untuk berubah.
04:13
And the nextseterusnya monthbulan,
I spentdibelanjakan 2,000 dollarsdolar again --
103
253952
2962
Bulan berikutnya,
saya habiskan $2,000 lagi--
04:16
no changeubah, because the informationmaklumat
alonesahaja didn't changeubah my behaviortingkah laku.
104
256938
3815
Tiada perubahan, kerana maklumat
sahaja tidak ubah kelakuan saya.
04:20
I didn't changeubah my environmentpersekitaran.
105
260777
1699
Saya tak ubah persekitaran.
04:22
So now that I was 4,000 dollarsdolar
in the holelubang, I did two things.
106
262500
3535
Memandangkan saya boros $4,000
saya buat dua perkara,
04:26
The first is that I unlinkeddinyahpaut
my creditkredit cardkad
107
266059
2554
Saya padam pautan
kad kredit saya
dari aplikasi perkongsian kenderaan.
04:28
from my car-sharingPerkongsian Kereta appsaplikasi.
108
268637
1465
04:30
InsteadSebaliknya, I linkeddikaitkan a debitDebit cardkad
that only had 300 dollarsdolar a monthbulan.
109
270126
4096
Saya pautkan kad debit
yang hanya ada $300 sebulan.
04:34
If I neededdiperlukan more,
110
274246
1198
Jika perlu wang lagi,
04:35
I had to go throughmelalui the wholekeseluruhan processproses
of addingtambahnya a newbaru cardkad,
111
275468
2850
saya terpaksa lalui semua proses
untuk tambah kad baru,
04:38
and we know that everysetiap clickklik,
everysetiap barrierhalangan, changesperubahan our behaviortingkah laku.
112
278342
4452
dan kita tahu setiap klik,
setiap halangan, ubah kelakuan kita.
04:42
We aren'ttidak machinesmesin.
113
282818
1270
Kita bukan mesin.
04:44
We don't carrybawa around an abacusAbacus everysetiap day,

in comparisonperbandingan to what we wanted.
115

04:50
But what our brainsotak are very good at

Namun otak kita sangat cekap
04:52
is countingmengira up the numbernombor of timeskali
