How to create a habit in 15 days

How to create a habit in 15 days is full of good advice.
Here are some comments:
Most of our life is lived by habits. Habits run on their own with "minimum effort."
True.
  • habits define our comfort zone
  • they make us happy
  • when running on habit we don't feel time passing and we feel happy
Habits are not good or bad, they are just ways of handling repetitive tasks that would otherwise require a lot of energy.
I think this is a very deep observation. Habits are branded as good or bad by society or religion to further their own agenda. Removing the branding is a major step to understand habits.
The master habit of creating/breaking your habits can be quite an asset
If we possess such a master habit and we can use it to manipulate habits that would be fantastic.
Master habit is divided into 3 parts
  • assess
  • decide
  • implement
All these new activities are made by some repetitive tasks, a set of moves you have to do daily in order to get some positive results
Try to achieve tasks every day at the same time.
Name your habit
It is also a good idea to associate the habit with some powerful emotions familiar to us.
Write everything you need to perform in order to create that habit.
What about trying and testing first and then let habit take hold?
In the implementation phase do not editorialize. Break the doing from the analyzing.
Very good advice. Thinking, analyzing and editorializing get in the way of doing. Established habits work on the background and try to stop the establishment of new habits.
On the next stage, comment and analyze your progress.
Creating a habit is largely a matter of defining it right first and then implementing it.
