Say "please do this" instead of "don't do that" ✅

Flip It

It is said that "please do this" works better than "don't do that."

For Example

For example, not "Don't spill it," but "Pour it slowly."

One More

Not "Don't rush," but "Walk slowly."

⚡ TRY IT
The "please do" machine
Don't spill it! Don't rush! Don't be late! Don't forget your umbrella! Pour it slowly! Walk slowly! Leave 10 minutes early! Put your umbrella by the door!
OK… but then what should I do? 🤔 Changing the words… ⚙️ Got it! Now I know what to do! 😄
🎯 It works
🏆 All 4 cards changed! Now everyone can see what to do.
Only Don't

With only "don't," people do not know what to do.

Easy To See

With "please do," they can see what to do right away.

For Everyone

This works with friends, and when you talk to yourself too.
