You've written one of the best-selling
00:00:01
books in history about habits because
00:00:04
people always need more practical help
00:00:07
with implementing their habits. And I
00:00:09
have different strategies and different
00:00:11
tools to get habits to stick, including
00:00:13
one principle that is probably the
00:00:15
single most important for building
00:00:16
habits. But so much of it is about
00:00:18
mastering the art of getting started.
00:00:20
>> Let's get started then.
00:00:21
>> So there are four different stages that
00:00:23
every habit goes through. Q, craving,
00:00:25
response, and reward. So, first we want
00:00:27
to make it obvious. [music] Easier it is
00:00:28
to see or get your attention, the more
00:00:30
likely you are to act on it. The second
00:00:31
is about the craving. It's all about
00:00:33
making it attractive. [music] And the
00:00:34
more engaging or exciting it is, the
00:00:36
more likely you are to stick with it.
00:00:37
The third is to make it easy. The easier
00:00:39
a habit is to perform, the more likely
00:00:41
it is to happen. And then the fourth and
00:00:42
final one is to make it satisfying. And
00:00:44
that's about increasing the odds that
00:00:45
you do it next time. And there's some
00:00:47
tools that we can go through, but one of
00:00:48
the big takeaways from atomic habits is
00:00:50
it's easier to build a new habit if you
00:00:53
stack it on top of the habit you're
00:00:55
already doing. So let's say that your
00:00:56
current habit is you make a cup of
00:00:57
coffee and the new habit that you want
00:00:59
to build is you want to start
00:01:00
meditating. So then you could say all
00:01:02
right after I make my morning cup of
00:01:04
coffee I will meditate for 60 seconds
00:01:06
and you can do it for anything. There's
00:01:07
also a framework that I call hats
00:01:09
haircuts and tattoos the secret to
00:01:11
winning habit shaping and real lesson of
00:01:13
getting 1% better every day. And we can
00:01:15
talk about all of them but is there any
00:01:16
frameworks any tactics if you're trying
00:01:18
to break a habit? If you want to break a
00:01:20
bad habit, there's some things that you
00:01:22
can
