(2006-07-17) Eby Focus Simple Habits

Phillip J Eby is refining his Self Improvement approach by adding simple new Habit-s. Focus on habits, not results. But don't get the wrong idea: you don't need to instantly start working out for an hour a day or do marathon housecleaning sessions every weekend. What you want to do is work with the smallest possible actions first. Substitute one food. Pick up or put away one thing. Why? Because this will actually build a habit faster than more intensive efforts will! Here's the thing: a habit is something you do automatically. To do it automatically, it has to be unconscious. So, you have to teach your unconscious mind to do it. That means it has to be simple.
