Podcast Notes   Episode 457 The Power of Habit Hosts: Brian Miller, PCC and Chad Hall, MCC Date: March 20, 2025  In this episode, Brian Miller and Chad Hall discuss the principles from Charles Duhigg's The Power of Habit and how they relate to coaching and personal development. They explore the three components of habit formation—cue, routine, and reward—and their role in behavior change. Through personal stories and coaching insights, they highlight the importance of establishing strong cues to reinforce desired routines and the necessity of recognizing and leveraging rewards. The conversation also touches on accountability, both in fitness and in business, and the creative ways individuals can structure their environment to support habit formation.   Key Highlights: The Power of Habit – Charles Duhigg's Model Three components: Cue, Routine, Reward Common mistake: Focusing too much on routine and neglecting the cue The Role of Cues in Habit Formation Example: Some people drive to the gym just to maintain the habit The distinction between Chronos (time-based) cues vs. Kairos (event-based) cues Identifying effective cues for habit reinforcement Accountability & External Cues Importance of social or financial investment as a cue (e.g., hiring an editor for a podcast) Using external expectations to maintain consistency Coaching application: Helping clients establish cues for new habits Application to Coaching & Business Growth Coaches helping clients establish better cues for habit consistency Building structures of accountability, like scheduled check-ins Identifying both intentional and unintentional cues in business development   Takeaways: Cues are often the most overlooked yet crucial component of habit formation. Accountability can be strategically built into habits for sustainability. Rewards must be noticed and sometimes reframed to be effective. Coaching plays a key role in helping individuals identify and optimize cues, routines, and rewards for long-term success.   Stay Connected: Website: coachapproachministries.org Email: info@coachapproachministries.org LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/company/coach-approach-ministries Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coach.approach.ministries Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@coachapproachministries7538 Follow us on social media for updates and resources!

Habits, Who You Associate With, Focus, & the Trick – Best of Host Matt on Business Topics Part 2 - AZ TRT S05 EP01 (216) 1-7-2024   Things We Learned This Week: Think Habits, Not Resolutions (vs. Goals) You Are Who You Associate With in relationships, business, & life The One Thing - Why Focus is Critical - Key Results That's the Trick - Daily Work, the Grind     Notes: Seg. 1   Think Habits, Not Resolutions We are often told to make New Year's Resolutions, but then by February we have all given up on those promises. I am encouraging you today to start the New Year early with looking at how to improve your habits, not make resolutions.     Real change does not happen overnight despite what Facebook, and a highlight society has promised. Most successful people have good daily habits, make proper decisions, and are consistent with their follow thru. We know that you probably are not motivated anyway to attack your New Year's Resolutions. So instead of some promise that can only be carried out by will power (or enthusiasm), how about a different approach? The goal is not really to have a Resolution, as so much a lifestyle change that sticks. We are a collection of our thoughts, lifestyle, and daily actions. You can see it when you meet with people all the time. You notice how they look, act, or what they eat. So let's stick to practical, and realistic advice. You want to develop actions (sleep habits, eating, rest, relaxation, meditation, etc.) that you will follow thru on daily. These will turn into habits, which will create that lifestyle change. The popular notion is it takes repetition of an act over 20 to 30 days for it to become a habit. The reality is it is more like 2 months (or more) according to a study by Phillippa Lally is a health psychology researcher at University College London. There are 3 books that have come out the last few years that cover these topics. We are all very busy, so I understand if you do not have time to read every self help or success book that is released. I've actually have only skimmed these books, but instead watched YouTube videos to get the themes. I am a believer in daily self improvement and online videos provide a good resource. The Power of Habit: Charles Duhigg at TEDxTeachersCollege Duhigg is a NY times writer who wrote a book that breaks down how we go about our habits, and what cues the brain has that create our habits.  What's fascinating about this is if you start understand what rewards you receive from bad habits, you can find substitutes to replace with better habits. The process for a habit goes like this - a Cue happens, then you have your Routine, then a Reward for the Habit. Duhigg's example is he would take a cookie break every afternoon about 3 pm. The Cue was 3pm, the routine was going to get the cookie, and the reward was eating the cookie. This was a bad habit, and he was gaining weight. So he replaced this habit with social time everyday at 3pm. He would wander over to another employee's cubicle and talk to them. His reward would be social interaction, and distraction and he stopped his bad snacking. Psychologically the more you do your habits, the less you think about the action. This is good when you have established healthy habits. Do not underestimate the reward part either. Even if you reward a positive action with a questionable gift. Over time you may not even need the reward, and you just do the action out of habit. Arianna Huffington on The Science of Sleep and Success with Lewis Howes This is not the best talk, but her main points about the importance of sleep cannot be overstated. So much of productivity is in society is linked to how much sleep one gets. Also a multitude of health disorders are linked to sleep, and everyone needs at least 7 (to 9) hours of sleep daily.  If you choose to ignore this, eventually you burn out or worse. We spend so much time adding things to our schedule, and this usually just makes us too busy. Instead of getting to all the things on your list, your work just suffers. Ultimately this affects your day, adds stress and hurts sleep. Slowing down, prioritizing your health (and sleep) will actually make you more productive over the long run. Hopefully these 3 examples will help you to evaluate your current habits. Then you evaluate what you are working to change in your current routine to improve yourself over the long term.  Good Luck with your new habits. Have a good and safe Holiday Season.   Article: HERE     Atomic Habits by James Clear The Book in Three Sentences 1.    An atomic habit is a regular practice or routine that is not only small and easy to do but is also the source of incredible power; a component of the system of compound growth. 2.    Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. 3.    Changes that seem small and unimportant at first will compound into remarkable results if you're willing to stick with them for years. The Five Big Ideas 1.    Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement. 2.    If you want better results, then forget about setting goals. Focus on your system instead. 3.    The most effective way to change your habits is to focus not on what you want to achieve, but on who you wish to become. 4.    The Four Laws of Behavior Change are a simple set of rules we can use to build better habits. They are (1) make it obvious, (2) make it attractive, (3) make it easy, and (4) make it satisfying. 5.    Environment is the invisible hand that shapes human behavior.                  Book Summay: HERE         Seg. 2 Clip from Seg. 2 of: You Are Who You Associate With - BRT S01 EP21 6-28-20 + Covid 19 Crisis & the Economy Homeless Population in Phx Struggling and How to Help   MB on You Are Who You Associate With - in relationships of business and life   Notes: Partner and hire ‘A' people Relationships Process / Results Strategies Ultimate example – Paypal Mafia and all the tech startups that came from it  Steve Jobs died in 2011 years ago – Apple still a Top 10 companies.

The One Thing to Exit Strategy to Moneyball & Business Lessons from Movies - Best of Business Part 2 - BRT S03 EP43 (142) 9-4-2022   What We Learned This Week That's the Trick - Daily Work, the Grind Dominos - Priority in Latin = First, what is your 1st Domino? Knock it down Advisory Team - importance of building a good team (CPA, Attorney, Banker) That's the Trick – this is the performance What's the Problem? - from Moneyball We Don't Hire Brokers, We Train Them - from Boiler Room   That's the Trick There's a scene in the movie The Prestige when the 2 young apprentice magicians go to see an older magician to learn his ‘Trick'. When the older magician is on stage he's doing amazing feats of strength. Then they get a watch him after the show get into a carriage, he seems like a crippled feeble old man who needs help. One magician says the other magician – ‘This is the Trick. This is the performance. This is why no one can detect his method. Total devotion to his art. Lot of self sacrifice.' The ‘Trick' is off stage, he's always acting like a crippled old man. It's simple, not easy. We often look for something that's not there, the big secret, when it's actually just in front of our faces. Always more simple than we think. We're looking for the big trick, how to get rich in a moment. When the actual trick, is doing the work daily, weekly, monthly, for years. You hone the craft, measure your progress, and adjust over time. Respect the craft, as there is no overnight success. The old line in business, it took him 20 years to be an overnight success. The Malcolm Gladwell book Outliers, says it takes 10,000 hours to master something. The expert has been practicing for 10 years. The professional golfer, the actor, the musician, the chest master, the salesman, or work on their craft. Even the greats like Tom Brady, Buffett, or bodybuilder Schwarzenegger all honed their craft over the decades. It's Simple, not Easy. You have to show up every day, to the repetitive work, just doing the grind. There is a great story about Sylvester Stallone trying to get auditions, and then trying to sell the screenplay for Rocky. He got thrown out of agents offices over 1500 times in the mid 10970s. Funny as there were only 500 agents in NYC. He actually got thrown out multiple times. There are no success hacks, no magic, no secret sauce. The secret is to just do the work. You work daily and improve 1% a week, leads to 66% improvement in a year. You must be willing to do what others will not. Compounding works with effort day and day out. Magic of Compounding is mass improvement over time, by perfecting the little things. Delay gratification and you see the results slowly. Build a base, not unlike the structure of a building. If someone says it's easy and you don't have to work for it…. Then probably selling you something. If it's easy with no sacrifice, or habit building, then it will not last. When you cook a meal, what doe sit look like if you pulled it from the oven midway thru? You have to let it cook, to get the finished product. Be in it for the Long Term. Let Compunding work for you. Back to the The Prestige: ‘Sacrifice is the price you pay for a good trick.' Not breaking character, you commit to the craft.   Article: HERE   Borden and Angier watch Chung Ling So's fish bowl trick The Prestige (2006) – movie clip Click HERE   Full Show: HERE     Reference Show: McDonalds, Apple, Disruption, 80/20 - Best of Host Matt on Business Topics - BRT S03 EP10 (109) 3-6-2022   Things We Learned This Week What Business Are You In? - McDonalds is a Real Estate Company Disruption in Business & Tech World - How to Handle The Innovator's Dilemma 80/20 Principle summed up is, 80% of outputs come from 20% of inputs – Focus on the 20% Steve Jobs 1997 Return to Apple – The Power of Focus & Simplify, Say No often, choose wisely   FULL SHOW: HERE       Business Topic: HERE   Investing Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/investing More - BRT Best of: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+Of   Thanks for Listening.

In this episode we take a look at the habit loop as discussed in books like The Power of Habit (Charles Duhigg) and Atomic Habits (James Clear) and identify where and how this shows up in our life related to alcohol and how we can work to change our automatic responses that have built up over time.This week's homework - Start your own habit log in your phone or on paper and identify when a craving for alcohol (or anything else for that matter) might show up and what was the cue that started this thought. Then look at what reward your body/mind is searching for in that moment and 5 ways you can achieve it without alcohol. Repeat this process for at least the next week to become aware of how these thoughts show up and build up new tools to help you on your journey.

Today I want to expand on a concept we touched on last week in “Lessons from a lifetime of Failures” and that's this idea of discipline and productivity. Here's a link to that episode if you missed it. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lessons-from-a-lifetime-of-failures/id840193021?i=1000569042411Discipline is largely a myth. In his book “The power of Habit” Charles Duhigg explains that the reason people can't loose weight or stop smoking isn't because they lack discipline it's because they haven't changed their habits. So how do we form better habits? That's what we're going to discuss today. I hope you enjoy.**Not a member of Our Community?

*Good habits, as moral codes and religion have taught us since time immemorial, create a good life, but it is only in the last 30 years that neurology and psychology have developed habit formation and self-discipline into a science. *The Power of Habit was one of the first books to bring this emerging science to a popular audience, and it makes for fascinating reading. *Considering various examples, from Olympic swimmers to high-flying CEOs, individuals to organizations and societies, Duhigg reveals how changing habits can change fortunes and transform lives.

Fiindcă discuția dintre mine și Cristina Chipurici a fost foarte apreciată și mulți mi-ați scris că v-a plăcut (în ciuda faptului că a avut 3 ore! Ba chiar cineva mi-a scris că a ascultat-o cap-coadă de 3 ori!), ne-am gândit să mai facem una, de început de an, despre obiceiurile sănătoase pe care noi ni le-am construit (dar și despre obiceiuri mai puțin sănătoase, la care fiecare dintre noi lucram zilnic împreună cu clienții noștri).

We tend to set goals that are focused on achieving outcomes rather than honing in on the process. As a result, we either fail to reach our goals, or meet them but cannot sustain them. If you want to be a top performer, if you want to have more meaningful relationships, if you want to live a healthy and prosperous life, you need the processes and systems in place to take you to the next level. Your life is the sum of your habits and if you want to experience any type of transformational change to enhance your quality of life, you need to focus on your habits. Not on your goals. In this episode, Sina Haghighat takes you through 5 steps to build success habits of your own and provides his own personal examples that have put him in the best shape of his life both physically and mentally. The habits he has instilled have raised his self-awareness, increased his confidence, provided structure and stimulated learning and growth. By applying these steps, you will experience transformational change.If you have enjoyed the last 3 solo episodes, on discovering your purpose, setting goals and building success habits, Sina will be launching an online course soon which dives into these areas in more detail. The course is all about you, your journey, your strengths, your passions and your purpose. If you want to raise your self-awareness, gain confidence in your skills and talents and build success habits to you perform at your best, then this course is for you.

Are you a Christian and looking how to change some habits in your life? In this episode we share how the book "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg has helped transform our lives by understanding the true power of habits!

What a great response to part 1 of this last Friday. Books really do have such an impact on people. So, I’m delighted to share this part 2 in both blog & podcast form today.This blog just touches briefly on 5 books I read this year that had (and continue to have) a positive impact on me. And I’ll briefly outline why. The podcast episode goes a little deeper as I read an extract from each of the books. I hope you’ll enjoy both/either. All of the books will be linked to here or on my site.So, taking up where we left off, here are the final 5 that make up the list. Let’s dive straight into them.Shoe Dog – Phil Knight (link to book on Amazon here)This is actually the only biography in the top 10 this year. Well the next one is a practical biography I guess but this fact tells you something about my reading preferences perhaps.Phil Knight is the founder of Nike. And this book tracks his journey from the very start in 1962 right up to the early 1990s.In truth this book is more than a autobiography. It’s content can help you learn so much about running a business, the challenges faced every day, hiring the best people, trust, relationships, and so much more. He combined his passion for running with business and tells this story year by year in the bookBounce – Matthew Syed (link to book on Amazon here)When it comes to talent and mastery, the then thousand-hour rule is something that has been talked about for a while and covered in a few many books and articles.In this book, released a few years ago, Syed provides a mountain a lot of evidence to back up the hypothesis. He himself made it to the Olympics representing Great Britain at Table Tennis and is living proof that hard work can get you to the top.It’s more than just hard work. There are a number of factors that need to be considered when putting in the 3 hours per day for 10 years, but it’s very possible.As I have very high hopes for my 1 year old son, this book has given me a lot to think about. Jake - no pressure at all! I’m looking forward to reading more of Matthew’s work in 2020.The Power of Habit – Charles Duhigg (link here)I mentioned in part 1 that the top 10 list is not really ordered in best to least good! However, I did indicate the paradox of choice would in the top 3. Another one that makes the top 3 is this masterpiece on habits from Charles Duhigg.This book kept popping up over last couple of years and having a fascination around habits, I was keen to dive into it. It didn’t disappoint.The story telling combined with science and experimental truths make this one a compelling read and one I took a crazy amount of notes and learnings from that I have been using in my own coaching work and daily habit analysis and formation.It, like many of the ones on this list, help me understand the why and how of every day life that bit better.The little book of Ikigai – Ken Mogi (link here)This is one of the most recent books I read so might be a benefactor of a recency bias.  Through my own coaching journey, finding my purpose, values and knowing myself better has made life and how I live it so much more fulfilling. In many ways the message of ikigai and the pillars covered in detail in the book through stories made me realise I was finding my own ikigai through a different approach but very similar outcomes.It’s a nice read and worth checking out. One that might hold some real value for you if you’re struggling with the existential question of ‘Who am I?’. A guest on the podcast recently, James Mofatt (link to episode here) found ikigai at a time when he needed it most. Worth a listen for sure.Smarter Faster Better – Charles Duhigg (link here)The only author with 2 in the top 10 so you could say it’s been a big year for Duhigg’s work (I don’t know the guy btw but would very much like to have him on the podcast).To end with a book with the word ‘better’ in the title was not planned but now seems apt as the theme running through all of these is to improve.Smarter Faster Better, while maybe not as impactful as ‘habits’, is still full of insights around how to be more productive, smarter with your time, maintain motivation and be efficient and effective.Duhigg got the idea for this book as he was finishing up the power of habits. He was inspired by a colleague at The New York Times who was also a surgeon and seemed to have endless time to get stuff done. Duhigg was motivated to understand and share the secret sauce of being productive as a result.Some great ideas in this and puts labels on many things you might already do – one personal favourite is disfluency which I talk about in the podcast version.So that’s it. 10 great reads from reading in 2019.I hope this is useful. It’s meant to be. To provide you with some potential reading for 2020 if not already covered.Thanks for read & listening.Do get in touch if you have one book you feel I MUST read in 2020.

Most of us understand what a routine is. But building a solid routine and intentionally setting our habits to work for us can free up the mental energy for our creative work. In the book “The Power of Habit” Charles Duhigg reminds us just how much of our lives are made of habit, routine, and ritual. The ability to add a routine to your day can help preserve that mental energy that comes from making small decisions. There are several ways to build routine into your day. Personally, I use two old standby tools. A calendar and a todo list. And if you don’t think the word routine works for you choose a synonym. Ritual is a favorite of mine.

We all have inspiring people that we look up to, but do we do any of the things that they are actually doing to achieve those results? We need to make sure that we are analyzing what others do while following the habits they do. Take an audit of the people around you and point out the things that you like and don’t like - then write them down. When you see the same thing repeated by individuals that you are inspired by, it is worth it to put the habit into practice for a bit to see how it impacts your life.Want to be fit?

"Now happiness, more than anything else, seems complete without qualification. For we always choose it because of itself, never because of something else." In this episode of Made You Think, Neil and Nat discuss The Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle. Aristotle "wrote" this book for his son, Nicomachea, in which philosophizes about the pursuit of happiness and how to find the point of flourishing of our lives. “We become builders building, we become harpists by playing the harp. Therefore we become just by doing just actions, temperate by doing temperate actions, brave by doing brave actions.” We cover a wide range of topics, including: How to find the perfect middle point to flourish in our activities Why happiness is a path that requires action, and not a destination Why sons may vote for the opposite of their parents Stones, horses and slaves that find their purposes in life Harvard admission problems with Asian-Americans Blaming the 2a.m. pizza And much more. Please enjoy, and be sure to grab a copy of The Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle!

It's easy to pick up bad habits. Knowing what causes bad habits to succeed enables you to make good habits meet with similar success. In this episode we dig deep into the trio of trigger, routine and reward mechanisms. And how every one of them play their role. But then we go deeper into the world of groups and how the groups matter. If you've struggled to maintain good habits on an ongoing basis, this audio (and transcript) will show you the elements you have to put in place to succeed. ==== Useful Resources To access this audio + transcript: http://www.psychotactics.com/54 Email me at: sean@psychotactics.com  Twitter/Facebook: seandsouza Magic?

Episode 14: How to Get Things Done: The Power of The Trigger Resistance: How To Win The Resistance Game The  Transcript This is the Three Month Vacation and I’m Sean D’Souza. You’ve probably heard of Batman. Now how does Batman get summoned by the police commissioner, who happens to be Police Commissioner Gordon? Apparently Batman was being summoned by a pager. Every time there was a crime in Gotham City that pager would go off in Batman’s pouch and he would have to respond to a crime. Now you compare this with the bat signal. The bat signal is a distress signal that appears in various interpretations of the Batman myth. According to Wikipedia it is a specially modified Kleig searchlight with a stylized symbol of a bat attached to the light so that it projects a large bat on the sky or the buildings of Gotham City. No one knows for sure how that pager got thrown away and this elaborate bat signal came into play, but one thing we know for sure: that pager was no match for the elaborate bat signal that came up after one of Batman’s encounters with The Joker. Batman said that he was no longer happy to get this pager and skulk around in the shadows. He wanted this elaborate bat signal that would be projected on the building, that would be projected in the sky. That was his trigger. Most of us don’t have such an elaborate trigger every time we want to achieve something. Let’s say we want to go for a walk every day or maybe we want to wake up every morning and do yoga. Maybe we want to learn how to draw or write or do something and learn a scale or a language. We seem to fall by the wayside simply because we don’t have the trigger. Is it just the trigger? In episode number 14 I covered this concept of the trigger, but since then I’ve realized that it’s a lot more. In the Power of the Habit by Charles Duhigg he specifically talks about three elements that need to be in place. In this episode we’re going to cover those three elements, and then we’re going to add the fourth missing element that makes the big difference. To create a good habit or a bad habit you have to have three core elements in place. They are a cue, a routine, and a reward. What makes that cue, routine, and reward more powerful, especially when you’re trying to get a good habit rather than a bad habit? That’s the power of the group. In this episode we’re going to look at what is a cue, what is a routine, what is a reward, and how the group helps tremendously. Let’s start off with the first element, which is a cue. Part 1: The Cue Let’s go back to 1900. In 1900 one of the biggest problems that America had was that most people didn’t brush their teeth. Not a few people but most people. Now imagine you are someone who manufactures toothpaste and you want to get an entire country, probably the entire world, to use toothpaste. What do you do? If you’re lucky you have someone like Claude Hopkins around. Who was Claude Hopkins? Claude Hopkins was one of the first advertising geniuses of our time. He wrote the book Scientific Advertising. If you haven’t read that book, you should read it. As the story goes, Mr. Hopkins was approached by an old friend with an amazing new creation. It was a minty, frothy toothpaste named Pepsodent. He somehow had to convince everyone that they needed Pepsodent. He has to create this habit from nothing at all. He has to create a cue. He had to create a trigger. What was that cue or trigger? In the book The Power of Habit Charles Duhigg goes on to talk about how this trigger came about. It seems that Claude Hopkins signed on to run the ads on Pepsodent but he had to go through a pile of dental textbooks. In his autobiography he wrote about how it was terrible, dry reading. In the middle of one of the books he found a reference to something. That something was mucin plaques on teeth, which Claude Hopkins then called the film. When you wake up every morning you have this kind of film on your teeth. Most of us don’t notice it. Well, we didn’t notice it back in 1900. Now this film is a naturally occurring phenomenon and you don’t really have to worry too much about it, but Claude used it as the trigger, as the bat signal. He started running ads all over the place. He said just run your tongue across your teeth and you will feel a film. That’s what makes your teeth look off-color. That’s what invites decay. Then he pushed that button further. He said millions are using this new method of teeth cleaning. Why would any woman have dingy film on her teeth? Pepsodent removes the film. In that one action with that poster and that ad campaign, Claude Hopkins changed the habit by sending out that signal that when you wake up every day you’re going to have that film on your teeth. You’re going to run your tongue over it and you’re going to feel that. That became the trigger. This is the starting point for any habit. We do this. We have an alarm clock that tells us we have to wake up and go into our yoga, or in my case I have Tuesdays, which is when I record my podcast. I know that by Tuesday morning I’ve got to get this podcast out 4 in the morning. It’s not enough to have the cue because we all sleep through the alarm. We all let Tuesdays slip into Wednesdays. Before you know it it’s Friday and then you’re all stressed out. To solve that problem you have to have the second element, which is the routine. Let’s look at routine. Part 2: The Routine When I started out as a cartoonist many years ago I used to do two sets of comic strips. These are daily comic strips. You do them every day five days a week. Now I had to do two sets, which means I had to turn out ten comic strips a week. The thing is that I was young. I was in my 20s so I didn’t have time to think about my actions. I just said yes when the newspaper editor said, “Would you like to put your comic strips in five days a week?” Then when you sit down and think about it, do you really want to do a comic strip every single day? Wouldn’t it be better to just do it once every week or once every 15 days? Instead, what I found surprised me a great deal. I found that it was easier to do one or even two comic strips in this case and to do it every single day rather than to do one every 15 days. You know this to be true because it’s much easier to go for a walk on a regular basis or do something on a regular basis than to do it once every 15 days. Then when we went front cartooning into marketing, I started up this website called 5000bc.com. Now it’s the membership site of Psychotactics. It started out in 2003 and it’s still going. We still have our members and we still have a great time, but that’s not the point. The point was when I started out 5000bc I had no ability to write articles at high speed. I was taking two days to write a single article. Then I started 5000bc and I promised the readers that I would put in five articles a week. Now how did I come to this five articles a week? I don’t know. I looked at some other membership sites and they were doing five articles a week so I decided to have five articles a week. So the habit started. The routine was that somehow I had to have that cue, which is Monday morning or Tuesday morning, and then there was the routine where I had to go one, two, three, four, five. It was the end of the week, and then the next week. What you find with routine is that it’s much easier to do things on a regular basis than it is to do it every now and then. We took these concepts and we started applying them to our courses. In 2006 to 2008 we ran a completely different article writing course than we do today. At that point in time someone would write an article once a week. Then I would look at it and then comment on it. Then they would go away and then they would write another article once a week. When you think about it, that’s pretty good. To write an article once a week, that’s pretty phenomenal. Around the year 2008 my instructions were misunderstood. I started up the article writing course as always and one of the participants … yes Paul, you know who you are … Paul decided to write an article every day thinking that’s what I meant. The rest of the group, they thought they had to write an article every day. I was sitting there looking at them writing an article every day and thinking should I tell them. I went to my wife Renuka. Should I tell them? I let them keep on writing. Now this should have been amazing to me because to write an article every single day, how difficult is that? It wasn’t amazing. I’d learned this with the cartoons. I’d learned this with 5000bc. I’d learned this before. I knew that the routine helps you move along at a far greater speed. We see this with our daily brushing as well, which what Pepsodent started all those years ago. We brush our teeth once a day, many of us brush it twice a day, so the routine sits in. What we’ve covered so far are two things. First is the cue and the second is the routine. This takes us to the third part, which is the reward. Part 3: The Reward If you started out that yoga routine every morning and then you suddenly find yourself not continuing, there is a reason for it. It’s not because of the cue or the routine. It’s because of the reward. What you have to do to get a habit in place is you have to have the reward in place. All bad habits are created by rewards. You start eating a muffin today at lunch time and then tomorrow at lunch time and the day after at lunch time. Suddenly you know the reward before the cue or the routine. Afternoon doesn’t have to show up. In the morning you’re thinking about that muffin. For good habits you need so much more energy. You have to have the reward in place. When we go for a walk every day, and I’ve said this before, the reward is coffee, but not just any coffee. Because if the coffee wasn’t so good and in between we started running to these cafes that were not so good, your reward falls apart and then everything else falls apart with it. We had to look for this café that was open at 6:45 in the morning. Not 7:00 but 6:45, because that’s when we reach our destination, have our coffee, and then turn around. We found this café where the barista was one of the top three in the All Japan Championships. As you can tell, the coffee is consistently good cup after cup after cup. That becomes the reward. That becomes the reason why we wake up when it’s raining, when it’s windy, when you have good weather or bad weather. We’re on the road and we get that reward. This is what you have to set in place whether you’re writing a book or learning a language or doing just about anything. Pepsodent had an in-built reward that no one really talked about. When you have a great product, then you have great competition. Other toothpaste companies tried to sell their toothpaste just like Pepsodent had and they didn’t meet with a lot of success. This left all of those toothpaste companies totally confused. As far as they were concerned, there was a cue, that was the film, and then there was the routine, and that was waking up in the morning. The reward was clean teeth, wasn’t it? But it wasn’t, because Pepsodent had citric acid. It also had mint oil and it had some other exotic chemicals. When people brushed their teeth they got this tingling sensation. That tingling sensation was their reward. It took the other competing companies a long time to figure out what this secret ingredient, this reward was really all about. If customers didn’t feel that tingling sensation in their mouths, they would feel like they hadn’t brushed their teeth at all, so there was no reward and the whole exercise fell flat on its face. This is the reason why Pepsodent’s sales continued to soar and the habit continued to set vs. the other one where it wasn’t so good. That’s the same thing with the coffee. The fact that we know that there is a cue and the routine doesn’t make any difference if at the end of the trip the coffee is not stunningly good. I have the same kind of reward with the podcast. When I finish recording the podcast I have to then put in the music. The music is my reward, because I enjoy the music. I enjoy putting in all those little bits of music and increasing the volume just a little bit and reducing it. That’s my reward. All those cues and all those routines make no difference if there is no music. If you told me to record this podcast without the music, yes I would do it but I would not have fun. If I don’t have fun, there goes the habit. This is why bad habits are so good, because they have fun, they have reward. Every time there’s that muffin at the end, you don’t need much of a cue or a routine. You can quite easily get to the muffin. When you have a bad habit, it’s very easy because there’s always that reward in place. This is thefundamental flaw with habits: that the reward needs to be in place right at the start. We have to do this in the article writing course or all our courses. On Friday you get a gold star. You have to do your assignment on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday, and on Friday you get a gold star. Now it’s just a little icon. It’s just a little icon in the forum and you would think people would not be interested with that icon, but they are. That’s the reward. People crave that icon. How do we know that? We know that because you take it away and you see their reaction, and people say, “Hey, where’s my gold star for this week?” The reward can be tested. If you put a reward in place and you take away that reward, that is your benchmark. That’s how you know that the reward is really good. If you take it away and no one cares, you have to change your reward system. This is whether you are setting a benchmark for yourself or for your clients. You have to start off with the reward, then work out the cue, then the routine. Then we have a habit in place. What we’ve covered so far is the cue, the routine, and the reward, which can be benchmarked. But we found out that there is something else that matters. That is the group. Without a group it’s far easier to fall off the bandwagon. To give you an example of the group, let me talk about having a bad group. Now how do we define a group? A group is just more than one person. Two people, that’s a group. Four people, that’s also a group. Eight people, that’s also a group. 25 people: is that still a group? Apparently not. This is what we found when we started doing the courses. Now when you look online at many marketers they talk about how a thousand people turned up and 500 people turned up and 200 people turned up. Does that lead to change? Does that lead to a change in the habit? It doesn’t. The reason why 95 or 98% of those people don’t reach their goal, whatever it is, to write a book or sing a song or do whatever it is, the reason why they don’t is because the group is too large. What we did was we had to break it down so that we had, say, only 25 people. Then the introverts stood up and they said, “No no no, 25 people is like having 500 people.” We asked them, “How many people do you need?” and they said, “How about six?” We found that six or seven people constitutes the right group in terms of the maximum number of people. Two people, that’s just you and someone else, that’s the smallest group possible. You have to have the group if you want to set a habit in place, especially because we’re so hopeless at creating and sustaining these habits all on our own. The reason the group is so important is because one, you get to know other people, so it becomes a social environment but with just five or six other people, not with 500 people where you can get lost and no one can notice if you’ve dropped off. Even in the group of 25 it’s very easy to drop off and no one would notice. The may need to you have a tiny group, everyone notices. You know that everyone is noticing and so you show up. Once you show up, you become a responsible memorable of that group and you start pushing the group forward, the group starts pushing you forward. Now you have a habit. Now there are other elements of the group that make it so powerful but at the very core, that element of someone else needing your support, that is what makes the group so powerful. Again, like the coffee, if the group doesn’t know each other or if they are anonymous, it doesn’t work because you have no connection to the group. The may need to you have a connection to the group you have a responsibility to the group. As soon as you have that responsibility, then you know that the other person is waiting for you to go for the walk. It sounds crazy. When you’re looking at a course there are people from South Africa, there are people from the United States, from New Zealand. Why would they be interested in someone else? But they are, and that’s the power of the group. That’s what creates that habit. That’s what sustains the cue, the routine, and the reward. Summary If you really want to create a habit, you have to start off with the reward, then take away the reward. Does it make any difference to you? That’s when you know that it’s a great reward or not. Then you find a group. Once you have the reward and the group, then you go into setting up the cue and setting up the routine. Then you have cue, routine, reward, and group. That is how you get a habit in place. It’s 5:46 AM and at exactly three or four minutes from now I’m going to get my cue. It’s going to come through Facebook Messenger. Yes, my wife Renuka, she’ll Facebook me and say, “I’m up. Are you ready?” I have to respond, “I’m ready.” The group forms at that point in time. Then it’s time to hit the road and get our cup of coffee. When you’re working all by yourself it’s very difficult to form a habit, so here’s what I would suggest. At a primary level, join 5000bc.com. That’s our membership site. It’s very reasonable. It’s just $259 a year. Once you join, there are groups there and they will help you move forward. We purposely keep the groups very small. For instance, we’ve taken the info products course and we’ve set up groups. They’re working through the info products course. The second thing that you want to do is you want to join one of our courses. You missed the headlines course and you’re probably missing the cartooning course, but there will be a course, there will be a workshop. You want to come to these events because you want to see how we implement these things. The reason why clients come back and pay $2,000 and $3,000 for the course is not because of the content alone. A lot of people give great content. It’s not just us. Now our system is different and we have the system of tiny increments, but at the very core we have this core of cue, routine, reward, and group. You’ll want to do one of the courses just to work through the system and see how it works for you and how you can implement it with your clients. That is the magic of Psychotactics. Start off with 5000bc.com. Go there today and sign up, because there is a waiting list and we take two or three weeks to approve you before you get in. Get there quicker, get on the waiting list, and then you can join 5000bc.com and see how this reward system, how this cue and routine is put into place. Later, much later, you can do a course with us and you can see how that system works as well. It’s not just about courses but the applications are for pretty much everything whether you’re doing video games or just about selling toothpaste for that matter. That’s me, Sean D’Souza, saying bye for now. See you in 5000bc.com. Bye bye. Once we have good habits, we have to then maintain the good habits—but we run into resistance.Resistance is often just seen as a form of laziness, but that is not true at all. There are hidden forces causing us all to resist doing what we really should do. This slows us down considerably.

Pernelle has been writing professionally for 12 years, 7 years as her main job.  The writing came in fits and starts.  She would go through massive creative spurts and produce tons of work in no time.  And then she won't write for a few weeks or a month.  Then she'd have another creative spurt.   This way of working depleted her.  She would have one of these creative bursts and then feel empty and think she couldn't do it again.  She knew she could write, but she didn't know how to make it a sustainable activity for herself.   So she started experimenting.  At first, she set up her schedule to write in the afternoons.  Then she tried writing first thing in the morning.  The she added some meditation before writing.   All the experimenting had paid off.  Pernille has a solid writing practice that supports her and allows her to bring her creative work into the world in a way that feels nurturing and sustainable.  Listen to her story of how she worked out the details of her practice, what she does now, and how it has changed her life.   In this interview, Pernille shares: what writing (and life) was like for her before her daily practice her analogy of writing a book to running a marathon her trial and error process of creating her daily writing practice what her daily practice looks like now the rituals she goes through before she sits down to start writing how and why she separates writing and editing why limiting our choices (or eliminating them altogether) can help us be more creative her best advice for starting a daily writing practice the important difference between “original” and “brilliant” how her daily writing practice carried her through burnout after finishing a novel Resources to Connect with Pernille: website Pernille's articles on creating a consistent daily writing practice.
