  • These pointers are based on The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg
  • Creating new habits
    • Familiarize with the formula : Cue > Routine > Reward
      • For example: phone buzzes > check phone > good feels at a ‘like’
      • Start with the cue
      • Create a routine
        • Set yourself up ahead of time, make it easier
      • Define a reward based on your reason
        • Make clear your reason for starting a new habit or dropping an old one
  • Breaking old habits
    • Keep the cue and the reward the same, but change the routine
  • Keystone habits
    • These have a domino effect on other habits
    • For example: waking up earlier to get more done, enjoy downtime, or have a yummy breakfast
    • These allow us to build up momentum and confidence
