Good habits

Good habits

I was reading a book review on "The Power of Habit."  The writer, Charles Duhigg was a professional writer, not a psychologist, and we could find faults with his theories. 

However, I found the simple "habit loop" starting with a cue, a routine which to the reward presented by him is useful.  The cue leads you to follow a familiar routine and it reaches to a reward.  This habit loop is put in other forms, like the work done by Heath brothers (book title Switch).

I have created a habit loop for me to get up early to work and it keeps me happy the whole day, gaining productivity and friendship at work. The cue - using my iPhone to capture the city's morning scene; the routine - take a un-hurried walk along the harbor (I spend about 10 minutes more this way.) But I have much to gain in health and in work achievement.

Create your own cue to form some good habits.
