Tiny is Effective: Introduction

In a world where we are trying to learn new habits or shape the existing ones, it is imperative to understand what makes habits stick.

I started reading more about habits, how the brain works, etc.. Hence, I started reading BJ Fogg's Tiny Habits. I will share my thoughts as I read it, page by page. Here is a quick summary. You can find the full article on Medium.

Keynotes

Three keys to designing a successful habit:

• Stop judging yourself
• Break aspirations into tiny behaviours
• Embrace mistakes as discoveries

Ways to create a lasting habit:

• Have an epiphany
• Change your environment
• Change habits in a tiny way (less than 3 seconds)

New words.

• Information-Action Fallacy (having information does not mean you change your behaviour)
