What did we see in this video? When the traffic light turns green, the car that has been waiting at the intersection starts moving toward its destination. Let's watch the video again. The green light prompts the car to do its routine activity in order to get the desire to work. arriving to the destination, the sequence is the following. A our prompt activity reward, the prompt triggers an activity, the activity results in a reward, the reward reinforces the problem.

It's like a loop. It's a loop that becomes stronger over time. In programming, the equation would look like this. When prompt do activity In the study the nature of habit in daily life by David De Niro. And when you would from Duke University, it was estimated that habits rather than conscious decision making shape 45% of the choices we make every day. So the PA AR sequence part sequence, as we call it drives half of our daily lives.

And in order to take some of the control back into our hands, we need what we need to do is identify the sequence. In the previous lesson, you've learned about habit linking, and you've linked following these scores to one of your existing habits. Do you remember when I told you that 95% of the participants in an online course don't finish it? One of the root causes for this behavior is that they don't do the small things these trucker asks them to do. The small thing, I'm asking you to do now is this link the P with the P? What does this mean?

Link what prompts you to do an old behavior with something that prompts you to do a new behavior. I started using this trick after I've read that you need to drink two glasses of water after you wake up. I wanted to drink them. But each morning after I woke up, I went straight to the shower. And after that, I went straight to the kitchen completely forgetting my idea until the evening. After trying to change my routine for four days straight.

I realized I couldn't do it. No matter how hard I tried to remember, in the morning, I kept forgetting. Then I tried something else. I took an empty glass of water and put it near my toothpaste. The next morning when I saw the glass I instantly remembered what I was supposed to do. From that point on.

I never forgot to drink my two glasses of water. I've linked that prompt for the This brushing activity to the prompt for the water drinking activity. Note that the empty glass is out of the context near my toothpaste it stands out if I'd put it in the kitchen, even though I would see it each morning when I prepare breakfast, I never remember to drink a glass of water, just because I see an empty glass there like every other day. But when I sit near my toothpaste, it clicks. So remember to make your prompt stand out. Today, I'm giving you three minutes of homework.

It's easy and you need to do it because tomorrow we'll work on your notes. Identify 10 situations in which you go to the PA AR par sequence. rephrase the situations using our formula. When we do a four are just three of the habits that can be considered positive or neutral. And ask yourself these questions for each habit. How does it make you feel doing the habit?

Can you be proud of doing this habit? would you encourage other people people to do it. Are you comfortable doing it around friends and now using the power of video editing software, let the class appear in my head in three to one
