Tiny Habits Intro - Troubleshooting New Habits So They Stick
Troubleshoot your new tiny habits.
*Please note: this is from my experience and reading only,
and it's not meant to represent pure Tiny Habits material.
--------------
Is your new habit too hard?
Make your habit even tinier (do less).
Or just do the tiniest first-step.
--------------
Make it simpler.
Eliminate complexity.
Decide to keep it simple.
--------------
Eliminate the need for decision-making or thinking.
Decide in-advance "what to always do"...
then... no decisions ever required for that habit.
Then you can... "Just Do It"! Yay!
--------------
Make your typical distractions harder than doing your new habit.
Move your game-box or televison to another room so it's harder to get to.
Move things you need for your new habit very near by so it they are within arms reach.
--------------
Make your new habit to easier to fit in your life.
Pick a better place or time for them.
--------------
Make it more pleasant somehow.
Like add music.

--------------
Get ideas from searching the web or YouTube.
--------------
Get or buy something that will make it easier...
Like buy an electric toothbrush!
It makes brushing easy and more fool-proof.
Some even have a built-in timer so you brush each quadrant for 30 seconds.
--------------
Prepare in-advance.
In other words, make the task partially-done in-advance.
Then you just need to complete it when the time comes.
--------------
Is your new habit too hard to remember how-to-do or when-to-do?
Attach it to a more specific or more reliable time/place or situation.
--------------
Try rehearsing it over and over the exact same way until it feels easy.
--------------
Use a reminder of some sort if needed.
--------------
Make it unavoidable - make it stick out so it's very noticeable.
--------------
Put your reminder in the movement path of your normal routines so you can't miss it.
--------------
Create a "placeholder" for it.
Then you will notice it is empty and ..
You'll want to fill the placeholder...
by doing your new habit.
--------------
Do you find that you do not really want to do your new habit?
- Figure out all the big reasons why.
- Figure out your attitude, mindset, mental habits, and self-talk about the habit.
- Then solve the issues appropriately.
--------------
