Use Action Words – Werbs Are Powerful Motivators – Intended Push For This Map
For you to understand the real power of using action-words (verbs) to ‘command’ your brain to get things done.
Understand The Elements Of This Map
The Words
These are a sample of the kinds of action-words that can be used in various life-scenarios (see below)!
When
These are a few scenarios where using action-words would be useful.
How
Here’s a comparison between stating things that need to be done, with and without the use of action-words. Without action-words, each statement is unclear (what exactly does ‘Book project’ mean?!?) and weak (there’s no command to do anything with it). With action-words, what needs to be done with each item becomes clear and specific, and your brain is given a command to take action on it).
