What if I told you there is a formula to stick with a habit?

What constitutes habit? They say, thoughts become words, words become habits and habits become character. 

There are three stages of Habits, which we all go through. Sometimes we are struck between these stages and end up in a vicious circle. 

What are those stages and how can we overcome it.

So what makes habits stick?

Why are habits important? And in our busy life can we make time for new habit? Or is it too late already? 

In this episode, we talk about how our habits are important to achieve our goals. 

How you can associate and disassociate habits? What if I say you have already done it before?

Do you think you lack will power? If so how to determine it?

and so much more. 

When each one of us have goals, sometimes we don't have clarity about our goals. We do have a vague idea of what we want to have but most of us don't achieve it in a stipulated time. There could be many many reasons to it. 

When you have your values intact, what do you do with that? How do your values add value to your life. It is through actions. But if we don't have goals in place sometimes we feel so lost. 

So here is a guide to what smart goals are and why you need to write things down to make it easier. 

Happy Listening!

Everybody says you have to have a goal. Everybody wants us to have great habits and replace our bad habits with better ones. Even we want to do tat. But have you noticed how you fail to reach your set goals and become frustrated because of that? You are not alone. 

Lets see why this is important in the context of productivity. To be productive, we have to use all our resources intelligently. The most perishable resource we handle day in and day out is TIME. So when you are frustrated about failing to reach your goals, you are essentially wasting time ie., you are not being productive.  

And sometimes after doing everything right, ticking all the boxes, earning loads of money, we may feel a void inside. No it is not love. It is the lack of direction may be. It all boils down to this. How do you want to be remembered? If you are not sure, listen in and there is a simple exercise for you to get to know your values.

Gamification is one of the 'in' thing now. From the apps you use to the websites you visit, you can see they follow the rules of Gamification. So what is it? It is nothing but a way to keep you engaged in the game for long by giving you rewards and challenges, it makes you feel like you are doing something on your own volition, but the truth is you are chasing rewards and recognition. 

We can use it to our advantage.

By concept, Micro Rewards is simple. We get rewards all the time. A promotion, a salary hike or even a medal at the end of a certain period of time serves as a reward. We feel happy and motivated when we get it. Micro Rewards is nothing but small rewards which we give to ourselves for finishing smaller but important tasks on a daily basis. The rewards you give yourself should also have the bigger picture in mind, since these are the building block which will motivate to achieve your bigger goals. 

Mirco Reward is for tasks and Reward is for goals. Keep listening.
