Tittle : The Power of Habit
Author : Charles Duhigg
THickness : 371 page/ 3 chapter
Habits are
part of life. Apparently, habits have an important role for our lives. All
things in our lives, reflection are determined by habits. All activities in our
life are the result of habits. There are three important components. First, a cue that means a trigger that signals
something to do. Second, routines,
namely activities carried out continuously. Thirdly, the reward or results obtained after doing cue and routine.
Habits can also be changed, how
do you change it?
1. Cue, to create or change habits we must find the trigger first.
2. Routine, after you find it you have to do it continuously
3. Reward, actions taken continuously will be a gift for you.
A concrete
example of this habit is when we brushed our teeth. In the past, people did not
know about brushing their teeth, after finding ways to brush their teeth, it
became a habit that could not be overcome.
We have often
heard that habits can determine a person's life. They say this does not mean
just a word but this is true. Good habits will lead us to good things and bad
habits will lead us to bad things. Habit is a reflection of our activities that
we do continuously.
Habits are not
only done by ordinary people, but also by famous people. Before they become
great people, they are just like us, because they habits are good, they can be
great and famous all over the world. They also have big businesses that are
also well-known throughout the world. For example, Hopkins with Pepsodent, and
Howard Schultz with starbucks.
This book
tells about how great people get their achievements that start from a habit.
This teaches what is done from small things that we don't even realize.
In the last chapter on this book, Charles Duhigg give us the formula how to change aour habit. It called Framework. And the way to change our habit are :
Identity the routine, to understand your own habits, you need to identify the components of your loops. Once you have diagnosed the habit loop of a particular behavior, you can look for ways to supplant old vices with new routines.
Experiment with Reward, rewards are powerful because they satisfy cravings. But we’re often not conscious of the cravings that drive our behaviors. When the Febreze marketing team discovered that consumers desired a fresh scent at the end of a cleaning ritual, for example, they had found a craving that no one even knew existed. It was hiding in plain sight. Most cravings are like this: obvious in retrospect, but incredibly hard to see when we are under their sway.
Isolate the Cue, To identify a cue amid the noise, we can use the same system as the psychologist: Identify categories of behaviors ahead of time to scrutinize in order to see patterns. Luckily, science offers some help in this regard. Experiments have shown that almost all habitual cues fit into one of five categories: Location, Time, Emotional state, Other people, Immediately preceding action.
Have a Plan, once you’ve figured out your habit loop—you’ve identified the reward driving your behavior, the cue triggering it, and the routine itself—you can begin to shift the behavior. You can change to a better routine by planning for the cue and choosing a behavior that delivers the reward you are craving. What you need is a plan. Put another way, a habit is a formula our brain automatically follows: When I see CUE, I will do ROUTINE in order to get a REWARD.
