How to stick in a habit
Objective
According with the video of Youtube "A Simple Trick to Develop Good Habits that Stick and Break Bad Ones | Don't Break the Chain Method" a person in average could build an habit in 66 days and a good way to approach it is make a calendar. Our daily routine and life circunstances carry us to develop some habits that sometimes are not the best to achive our goals.
Personally, I found a bad habit to go late to bed. The cost of this habit is high in aspects of your concentration, your perform in your tasks and it has a terrible impact in your health in the long term. In concordance with Harvard health magazine, a lack of sleep could be one of the causes of Diabetes, gain weight, cardiovascular disease, memory affections.
Clearly, there is a change of habit that should be made order to improve productivity and health.
Reflective
It is easy to stick in a bad habit, mostly in the digital era where you have access to a lot of information, games, tv shows, applications, etc in a easy way. So, some of those factors have a big influence in losing motivation in all your propouses or routine. The theory of loss adversion of Daniel Kahneman that express the pain of losing is powerful than the pleasure of gaining, in this case People prefer lose than or take riskes than gain.
Interpretive
In order of this, for people bad behaviors are gains even if they are decreasing health and probably people know about it but change an habit could be one of the most challenging things in life but after you start thinking differently or in order to improve something, you stick on it.
As the video recommend after we stick in a habit for 66 days, it would be easier to continuing with it.
Decisional
A good recommendation of downloading an app Habbitica could help to continue with this habit or setting an alarm in my phone to remember me the time to sleep.
