4 Reasons It's So Hard to Build Good Habits

The Incrementalist

Goals are the results and outcomes you want to achieve. They are the direction you want to head in, at least for the time being. But systems are what create the desired results and outcomes.

Your daily habits make up your system. What you do day in and day out compounds over time to determine your level of success, mastery and contentment.

In episode 48 of The Incrementalist, you will learn:

1) Key lessons from James Clear's Atomic Habits and Professor BJ Fogg's Tiny Habits books

2) What is a habit

3) How your brain controls your behavior

4) How habits form through a neurological loop: cue, trigger, craving, response and reward

5) What drives behavior (Professor BJ Fogg's B= MAP formula)

6) Why good habits are so hard to build

• Reason 1 - the cue is not obvious
• Reason 2 - the craving is not strong
• Reason 3 - the action step is not easy
• Reason 4 - the reward is not satisfying
