I’m using my Pavlok to break old bad habits and remind myself to do new things (but not both at once). A few shocks really gets my monkey mind to alter it’s behavior...

It's a wristband that gives you electric shocks.

I realize I've actually used one before, while playtesting a VR game which used this to give "damage taken" feedback. I was pretty bad dodging hits despite the motivation.

Wow!! Do you know what Vr game that was? I’ve always wanted to integrate Pavlok with vr

It was a friend's prototype for a class in game development, actually, so it's not available publicly. I did find it was a little disorienting to get shocked in the right wrist even when hit on the left side - something to keep in mind if you ever want to develop it!

Founder of Pavlok here! Thanks for using it :) Have you tried any of our habit formation apps, like Gratitude or Morning routine?

You can use redeem code “TEST_MORNING” to unlock the morning routines if you haven’t yet :)
