Use the word “because” when requesting something
When seeking something from someone, try using the word “because” in your request. Our brains are significantly impacted psychologically by this small word.
Because our brains are wired to seek meaning in experiences, the word “because” cues the subject that your request has a clear, objective purpose, increasing the likelihood that they will comply. This is effective even if you’re just attempting to use it as an excuse to get someone else to run your errands.
