Shameless Leadership

83: The Power of Recency and Frequency


Listen Later

It is human nature to keep doing the things we’ve done most recently and most frequently. 

  • Showering daily
  • Drinking coffee
  • Getting in a workout
  • Indulging in sugar
  • Drinking that big ass glass of wine
  •  

    As you build new habits, the same holds true. If you starting getting up early to workout, once you’ve done it a few times (made it recent & frequent), you’re much more likely to keep doing it. 

     

    When you are conscious of the concept of recency & frequency, you can really prove your power in establishing new habits. This can be extremely liberating and assist you in building momentum and confidence with new habits and routines.  

     

    To improve the recency & frequency of desired behaviors, habits and routines, you can (and should):

     

    • Plan behaviors
    • Track behaviors as you do them
    • Track wins
    • Plan rewards
    • Self Monitor
    • Always practice discomfort
    •  

      Listen in to hear how to implement all this and use it in the final weeks of 2016 and as you cruise into 2017.
