Turning New Practices Into Habits
Both last month and this month we have talked a lot about what I consider personal practices to increase performance. Whether it is better time management, or cleaning out our to do list on a regular basis, all of these things will reduce the stress we feel at work and help us be more productive with our time. However, these practices can only help us if we turn them into habits. If we have to consciously force ourselves to do them then when we get stressed/tired/busy we will inevitably stop these practices and their benefits will go away. So for this week I want to point everyone to an article on www.lifehack.org about making habits stick. The habits the author talks about in the article aren’t necessarily the same habits we are trying to cultivate, but the advice holds true for anything you want to make a habit. Give it a read here and let me know what you think. Do you think this can help you turn the new practices we have been working on into habits?
