    Master Habits, the Individual Architecture of Everyday

    Life: Practice the 4 Pillars of Habit Formation


    with Gretchen Rubin, author, Better Than Before

    Habits are pernicious little buggers. Over time, they become hardwired in the
    brain such that you can’t just will yourself to change them. Instead, you have to
    have a strategy and an implementation plan. In this lesson, habit expert Gretchen
    Rubin teaches you how to form good habits by laying the foundation for
    behavioral change.

    4 Pillars of Habit Formation

    1. Monitoring
    2. Scheduling
    3. Accountability
    4. Foundation

    Monitoring

    • Monitoring can have a beneficial, effect, even if you are not trying to adjust
    the behavior.
    • If something counts for you, figure out a way to count it.
    • Monitoring adjusts intuitions, which are often wrong. We tend to
    overestimate our good habits and underestimate our bad ones.

    Scheduling

    • Being specific with your scheduling introduces a sense of accountability,


    which makes you more likely to adhere to the habit.
    • If you are a Rebel, scheduling will be a counter-incentive.

    Accountability

    • External accountability is important for all tendencies, but is crucial for


    Obligers.

    Foundation Habits: Habits that increase capacity for self-command and


    therefore increase adoption of other habits
    Prepare
    Before you watch the video
    Identify one key responsibility in which you’d like to become more productive and set
    one productivity goal for yourself to be accomplished over the next two weeks.

    Practice
    After you watch the video
    Monitoring: You’ve chosen to focus on one key responsibility in which you’d like to
    become more efficient. For the next two weeks, keep track of your time commitment to
    that key responsibility. Every time you perform a task related to that responsibility, log
    your time. At the end of the two weeks evaluate your time allocation. Are you devoting
    enough time to this area of responsibility? Why or why not?

    Scheduling: Look at your calendar for the next two weeks. For each day, block off
    specific time frames during which you’ll work toward your productivity goal. How many
    hours do you think you’ll need to accomplish your two-week goal?
    Accountability: Find an accountability partner to act as an external check. Who will you
    choose, and why is this person a good support for you? What will you ask the person to
    do? How often do you want him or her to check in with you? Be specific.

    Foundation: Take a moment of mindfulness to reflect on how your personal lifestyle


    affects your ability to achieve the goals you’ve set for yourself. Is there anything about
    your foundational habits that you need to change?
