This document summarizes a presentation on applying behavioural insights to policymaking. The presentation covered:
1. An introduction to behavioural insights and how they can be used to make public policy more effective by taking human biases and limitations into account.
2. The EAST framework for influencing behaviour - making things Easy, Attractive, Social and Timely. Examples were given of how this framework has been applied, such as simplifying forms to increase university applications.
3. How insights from behavioural science can be applied to personal goals, such as how ego depletion or scarcity can negatively impact self-control and decision making. Strategies were discussed for overcoming these biases.
