Episode Highlights From Katie
- The ultimate question is, how do we form habits and get them to stick
- As much as 40% of what we do in a day isn't the result of decisions, but of habits
- What the research says about habit creation, including methods for starting new habits and making them stick
- The average habit actually takes about 66 days (so over two months) to be created
- Will missing one day of the new habit affect the creation of the new habit?
- What the difference is between habits and routines
- The process of creating a habit isn't just about learning to do something repeatedly - It's really about wiring and strengthening the brain
- Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good when it comes to habit formation
- The concept of habit stacking and the idea of stacking two habits together
- Small habits are easier to implement and you can build on them - don't make them too big
- The 3 S's - simple, short, and specific
- It's easier to replace a habit than to remove it entirely (example: smoking)
- Some of my practical examples that I personally use for habit stacking to give you some ideas to get started
