What do you actually mean with "trust"?
Does the average person who reads a story about productivity tips automatically implement the tip because the trust it? Usually not. Usually people just read and then do nothing.
Don't underrate the effect of telling stories in a way that get people to change their behavior.
I think it's likely that my main challenges don't lie with having the right evidence about which productivity technique is best but with akrasia around implementing techniques.
With trusting stories I meant something like "we assign them a higher probability to be true than they actually have".
Something along Kahneman's theory that we default to believe everything we hear. That disbelieving is harder (a System 2 activity).
But akrasia is also a good point! I agree that many people already have all the information they need and just need to take action.
