Human behavior as automatons habits
The key to acquiring a habit is not the completion of the goal, it is the consistency with which the task is being performed.
Starting ridiculously small makes beginning very easy. Double our effort every day until we are at the correct level. See small habits not as a goal, but as components of a larger behavior.
It does not seem to be easy to start a habit in a vacuum, it only works when combined with something else, otherwise I’ll just forget it after the first initial enthusiasm disappears. habit stacking It takes longer for a cue-response link to form, then to forget or loose interest in the new habit.
Literature notes
The 2-Minute Rule : productivity
- Essentially, start off a new habit with something that you can do in 2 minutes. For example, instead of trying to run a mile on your first run, simply tie on your shoes and stretch. You’re completely done with your running habit for that day once the two minutes has expired.
- In doing this, you develop a habit centered around the hardest part of habit development: showing up. The time it takes for this habit to fully form is dependent on the individual. Once you feel like you can routinely practice your two minute habit everyday, then I would recommend slowly moving into your habit. Instead of 2 minutes, make it 3 minutes. Then after you feel very comfortable with that habit, then make it 4 and so on.
- The most important part of developing a habit is consistency. If you do not have consistency, then you do not have a habit.
Habits are like the atoms of our lives. Each one is a fundamental unit that contributes to your overall improvement. At first, these tiny routines seem insignificant, but soon they build on each other and fuel bigger wins that multiply to a degree that far outweighs the cost of their initial investment. They are both small and mighty. This is the meaning of the phrase atomic habits—a regular practice or routine that is not only small and easy to do, but also the source of incredible power; a component of the system of compound growth. 31/05/2023 07:26
