Three Secrets to Establishing New Habits
It’s easier than you might think to change your life
Last week Ricky Rosen kindly interviewed me for his Nervous Habits Podcast. It’s always a pleasure to be invited to share my thoughts in print or via audio.
We talked about what got me into productivity, some strategies to help people make better use of their time, my experiences from living in Asia, and habit building.
Despite chatting for over an hour, we barely scratched the surface, but I think people will get a lot out of it when it drops in the coming weeks. I’ll be sure to keep you posted.
As it happened, the very next day, I came across an article that talked about how people in England had changed their lives during COVID-19. According to the article, 43% of the 2,000 British adults surveyed felt that had “changed their ways for the better.” More specifically, about two in five feel their new habits have helped their overall well-being. And finally, that they “hope” to continue their improved habits once they return to their old routines.
I respect those people who have taken advantage of their lockdown but ensuring that a habit sticks is harder than most realize.
