How to develop a good habit
To develop a good habit can be in two ways: reduce implementation costs and increase instant gratification .
Many times we have to develop a good habit of giving up on the road, probably the habit of difficulty of the operation itself is relatively large.
For example, I want to stick with the fitness habit of daily commuting.
But the choice of the company 5km outside the opposite route home gym, leading to more time spent on the road.
It sounds tired to talk about habits persist?
Why bad habits are particularly vulnerable, and it is particularly difficult to develop a good habit?
Because almost all of the bad habits are instant gratification, and almost all are good habits to delay gratification .
You have to cut body and can take months of exercise, and when you eat ice cream when the sweet taste will immediately stimulate your taste buds.
You have to strive to become the industry outstanding person may take years, but you can enjoy the victory in the game at all times, and advanced to the pleasure.
From the perspective of evolutionary psychology, the demand for instant gratification is more in line with people's hearts.
Here come to talk about what specific methods for these two areas.
Reduce implementation costs
1. Have a good habit obvious
This method is actually somewhat like and "boost" is mentioned - do cleverly linked, set some good habits to automatically trigger a scene.
For example, I was asked by a senior engineer, and like us you commute to work every day, why are so many time to write a blog post?
He had to work when there is a habit of taking notes while solving the problem while the problem is resolved, according to the contents of the notes an outline of the article will come out.
Re-use some of the spare time to organize what language it finished article.
2. Starting good habits simple and easy
From the most simple things can surely accomplish the best place to start is within two minutes.
The main purpose is to reduce the habit to perform resistance.
Want to develop reading habits, you can look at 10 books a day.
Want to develop the habit of writing code, you can only write 10 lines of code per day.
Want to develop fitness habits, you can go two laps around the office every day.
Wait until these have become the natural action of the heart is no longer in conflict, and then gradually increase the difficulty, so a little bit of good habits develop.
Increase instant gratification
1. complete reward good habits
Since the lack of good habits immediate feedback, it can artificially increase the reward.
Incentives in the form of general may be based on personal preference.
For example, a week and a day reward yourself after a workout to eat ice cream for a month Reward yourself watching a skit night after learning to read.
2. good habits to quantify the track
Another way is to increase the time to meet the good habits into visualization, quantifiable results, so as to establish a sense of accomplishment.
Now a lot of habits like app share a common feature: punch.
The use of tracking is to quantify the principle of completion will become accustomed to each virtual instant feedback when accumulated to a certain number of bonus medals even like.
Reverse thinking
Since using the above method can form good habits, the opposite can also help us get rid of bad habits. To kick the game as an example.
- The entrance bad habit of hiding, making it difficult to trigger. The game on the final screen an APP in a folder, every time you start sliding screen requires multiple clicks.
- Cut off the bad habits of execution conditions, allowed to perform difficult. After each play games directly to uninstall, so next time when they are playing games need to re-download.
- The bad habits to bind with other offensive things. After each play the game the next day are not allowed to take the elevator, take the stairs from work.
- Establish the habit of contract, bad habits make the consequences of openness. Participate in some payment habits punch group, so that other people with supervision.
