Oh sorry they don’t allow links. I tried to put a link in a post, oops. Look up 3 tiny habits in your browser, BJ Fogg is the guy’s name. He doesn’t charge and the program is five days.
He tells you how to keep it simple too. I read everything I could find on the website before I submitted the habits I wanted to start.
Mine were:
After I get up, I will turn on the shower.
After I pour my coffee in the morning, I will take out my notebook.
After the 11:00 news, I will turn off the TV.
The beauty is that I didn’t have to take the shower, just turn it on, it reminded me to take my shower early enough that I would have it done so it didn’t interfere with plans for later that day. But for the sake of the habit you release yourself from the responsibility of actually taking the shower.
My notebook had been neglected a lot. I just kept forgetting til it was so late at night that I couldn’t write even if I felt like it. So getting it off the shelf with my morning coffee gave me the opportunity to write if I wanted to.
And last, to turn off the TV after the 11:00 news was… to turn off the TV. I was also hoping it would help me get off the couch at night to go to bed. This one I had to reinforce with an alarm set for 11:30 to wake me up to turn off the TV which helped, at least I’m not wasting electricity while I sleep on the couch.
