Writing 50 words a day, reading 2 pages a day and memorizing 5 English words a day are all micro-habits.

But friends think it's useless to spend so little time doing exercises, just for show.

Admittedly, the effect of micro-habit is easily overlooked, because it cannot be presented in a short time. But as long as you keep the minimum habits, its effect will be multiplied.

It is mentioned in Mastering Habits that if you can make progress 1% every day for a year, you will make progress 37 times by the time you finish. This is the compound interest effect.

This sentence also applies to bad habits. Eat a big meal once in a while, and I haven't gained much weight. I just comfort myself and eat. One day, I will be surprised to find that clothes need to be resized, which is not suitable for my rounded self. This is the price of ignoring micro-habits.

Friends like delicious food and eat it if they like it. She ate happily and got fatter and fatter, and then started skipping rope 100 times a day to lose weight. At that time, it was near summer and I was full of motivation. After three months, I really lost weight. I managed to lose weight, but I haven't lasted a week, and I have returned to eating mode.

After the goal of slimming was achieved, I didn't continue to exercise, but returned to my old habits. What is the reason?

Want to maintain a certain behavior for a long time, pay attention to the process rather than the result.

If the focus of weight loss is slimming, once the effect is achieved, it is easy to return to old habits.

If you want to really change your behavior, the root is a kind of recognition. What kind of person do you want to be?

The goal is not to read, but to become a reader.

The goal is not to learn a musical instrument, but to become a musician.

Identification will help us naturally maintain certain behaviors.

The process of habit formation can be divided into four steps: prompt, desire, reaction and reward.

Tip: For example, when you receive a message.

Desire: the driving force behind habit (you want to know the content of information)

Response: usual habit (pick up the phone and click on the message)

Reward: the ultimate goal of habit (the desire to read information is satisfied)
