Recently a new science behind incentives (激励)，including in education，has been discussed.For example，researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school.In some cases，he gave students incentives based on input，like reading certain books，while in others，the incentives were based on output，like results on exams.His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect when based on output.Fryer’s conclusion was that the incentives for inputs might be more effective because students do not know how to do better on an exam，aside from general rules like“study harder.”Reading certain books，on the other hand，is a well－set task over which they have much more control.

　　As long as you have direct control over your goal，you have a much higher chance of success.And its easier to start again if you fail，because you know exactly what you need to do.

　　If you want to cut down on your spending，a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a café，for example.This is a well－specified action－based goal for which you can measure your success easily.Spending less money isn’t a goal because it’s too general.Similarly，if you want to spend more time with your family，dont stop with this general wish.Think about an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to，like a family movie night every Wednesday.
