I've also found that cleaning my room, and spending like $100 on a whiteboard, candles, fake plants, humidifier, calendar, and lamp has gone a long way to making me productive and comfortable at home. Be sure to also prime your environment for success, by setting it up to have low friction (ex: layout your workout clothes the night before work). James Clear is big on "One Space, One Use", so don't do something like say you want to study in your bed or play games at your home workspace. Time: list the time you wish do this activity, if it's applicable.Įnvironment: list the ideal environment that you wish to do the activity. At first, be sure to plan in lots of rest days, but remember the idea that building momentum through daily action is better than 1 big day of action. I can't stress enough how important this is, I personally lost 3.5 years of progress by setting way too ambitious goals and burning out extremely quickly.ĭays: here, list how many of the days of the week you want to do this new habit. Week 1 you probably only want a handful of new habits at most and they need to be super easy. If your goal is to establish an hour long morning routine to start your day off right, week 1 might just be make your bed whenever you wake up. If your goal is to stop overeating, week 1 you might literally just limit the window in which you eat food from 8 am - 8 pm. Weekly Habit: here, write down the positive habit you want to use to marginally move you away from the negative one. Instead, as Clear says, build a new identity, like "I'm a runner." I know from personal experience that just stating a big goal like "I want to run a half marathon" can lead you to accomplishing that then losing it all just as quick. Hyperbolize as to inspire fear/anxiety in yourself regarding that habit/area.ĭesired Identity: rather than immediately listing a goal, instead list a personality trait that you wish to create. Negative Habit/Area: in this column, separately list each bad habit you have that you wish to address, and if you can't think of a specific bad habit but still want to work to improve, list the area generally.Ĭonsequence of Habit: here write down the bad things that will happen to you if you continue the bad habit or inaction. At the start of the week, duplicate the template and retitle it Week X (number of weeks you've been on your journey) or just the dates of that week. The template is designed to be restarted every week (ideally with marginal progressed habits). Inspired by the book Atomic Habits by James Clear, I created a Google Sheet template to easily identify bad habits and transform them to positive identities through progressively overloaded progress, which I'm sharing in case anyone would find it useful. r/personalgrowthchannel (personal and professional growth) r/KaizenBrotherhood (self improvement, being your best self) r/GoodbyeDepression (overcome depression) r/DecidingToBeBetter (self motivation/self improvement) Have some feedback for us?
