Workplace habits exercise
Atoms are the building blocks
of matter. They are often known
to be the smallest particles in
the universe. Not true but they
are
TINY
.
What’s your point, bruh?
The
Atomic Habits
mindset
Think about a flight path
in terms of incremental
change.
A 1 degree adjustment
would take you to an
entirely different place.
What could a 1% change
in habits do to your life?
The
Atomic Habits
mindset
We often try to fix poor habits by setting
new goals.
Example:
•
We grow frustrated with our health so we
may set a goal to lose weight
Why changing habits is so hard
Clear: you aren’t the problem for setting
goals. The problem where you place your
focus.
We focus mostly on the outputs (goal)
without properly addressing the inputs
(steps to get there)
You are not the problem
Let’s use being late as our example. You’ve
just set a new goal to be at work by 8:00
AM daily.
With your neighbor - what are some inputs
we could change to have this goal be
changed in the short term?
Addressing the inputs – table talk
•
My initial professional identity – quirky, silly,
frequently late, unorganized, procrastinator
•
Clear: the biggest barrier to change is
identity
conflict
•
My first SCHEELS review
•
Habits are only temporary until
they become who
you are.
The role of identity
•
Who I was:
•
“I struggle with organization and often fail to
accomplish everything I hoped to.”
•
Who I am:
•
“I am an organized professional
who gets
things done.
”
My 1% correction
Two steps to changing your identity:
1.
Decide who you want to be
2.
Prove it to yourself with small wins
(incremental change)
Take charge
•
Write down your first small win (what
habit will you alter or delete?)
•
What inputs do you need to address?
•
How will your identity change as a
result?
What will your first small win be?
Thank you!
