#5 The Power of Habit – Charles Duhigg

[sumaiyakhatun22]

The last book may be useful to you in the context of the aforementioned productivity. After all, any change we want to make – such as changing the organization of our time – requires working on our own habits.

Of course, as you might guess, this is a book that will provide you with tips on how to:

How do habits work?
How to change these habits in your situation?
How to build them?
And I recommend it to you as a whole. However, the key lesson I took away from this compendium of time management is as follows:

If we want to unlearn something, we can't suddenly, from one day to the next, give qatar rcs data it up. Because this will prevent us from being able to complete the so-called habit loop and sooner or later we will return to the old path.

So let's say I start my day with a double espresso, and I want to change that. I can't just say that from now on I'm going to get up and do everything I can to not drink it.

Why?

Because I'll keep thinking about it and I'll probably break down one day. And then I'll be mad at myself. Instead, you have to replace one action with another so that the habit stays but is done in the right way. So instead of making myself an espresso in the morning, I can have a smoothie, water, or whatever.

I substitute one habit – one I want to cultivate – for another.

This method applies to both personal and professional levels, which is why I recommend it in the segment of books for entrepreneurs. After all, entrepreneurship requires time management. And we are not only talking about personal efficiency, but also about the efficiency of team members. If there is a procedure or behavior in the company that we want to change, then unfortunately, only information and education are not enough.

The book shows that we need to consider how employees do something we don't like and replace that element of the process with something else. This can also have a transformative impact on working on procedures and organizational improvements in your company.
