The Power of Habit

Preview

Habits are present in our everyday lives, and we must learn to understand them to use them to our advantage. We must be able to determine good habits from bad habits. And, if a habit is bad, we must substitute its presence.



All habits are formed by an external cue, in which a routine follows, to finally land at the reward of the habit loop. When people, like businesses, start understanding that, they will begin to become more successful and productive in their everyday lives.
