Completely Be Recovered from Bad Habits! The First Step for [if-then planing]
There is a interesting book, named <Nine Things Successful People Do Differently (Japanese Edition)> who Heidi Grant Halvorson wrote.
As you can see its title looks like group of life hacking but it leads by example of booklets because it is written by scientific easy to understand, and an ideas inside is quite useful technique sooner.
The book introduces “nine things that you need to do” is based on <if-then planing> technique that I think very useful and helpful for our life so I want to share with you!
According to Mr. Halvorson, <if-then planing> is a technique of increasing efficiency that more than 100 studies proven its effects. You can use it whether from on a diet to mental control to prevention for delaying and much more. You can use it for any circumstances universally. It is surely fascinating.
How simple is the method!
“If X happens, then do Y.”
That’s all. You just prepare to set your plan in advance.
Let’s have a look at what was used in the research.
* When Monday and Wednesday, and Friday come, working hard at a gym for an hour before I go to place of work.
Something like that and 91% of participants who made the method continued going to the gym even after several weeks compared to patients who was in control group, continuing going to the gym hit their rate as only 39%.
As from the research, it is said that our brain is made mostly to remember the form of “If X happen, then doing Y.” That’s why...
On the other hand, you can make any forms as you want like...
“If I feel angry, then taking deep breath three times.”
“If I start looking at Twitter, taking five minutes for it, then going back to work.”
“If I want to eat ice cream, then eating nuts instead.”
It sounds more likely <To Do lists> for decision of where and when.
Also a book named <SUCCESS How We Can Reach Our Goals> from Ph.D Heidi Grant Halvorson, is more detailed on <if/then planing> so I should be reading or you do want too.
Bye for now then.
