- 0:00What is the easiest way to develop a good habit
- 0:03that has a higher chance of success?
- 0:04James recommends this technique
- 0:06called the Two-Minute Rule.
- 0:07I like to consider it as
- 0:09the MVP version of a good habit.
- 0:11The principle is easy.
- 0:13Whenever you want to start a new habit,
- 0:15do not commit to anything longer than two minutes.
- 0:18For example,
- 0:19if your goal is to run a marathon,
- 0:21then your goal for each day
- 0:22should not be to go on a run for 30 minutes
- 0:25or even 10 minutes.
- 0:27The action should be something that
- 0:28takes you less than two minutes to complete,
- 0:31such as changing into your workout attire
- 0:34and putting on your running shoes.
- 0:36Once you've put in enough repetitions
- 0:38for that act itself to become a habit,
- 0:40then you can stack up on top of that
- 0:42to include something slightly more difficult.
- 0:45For example,
- 0:46if your goal is to earn a PhD,
- 0:48he recommends that
- 0:49you split your task into five categories.
- 0:52One is very easy.
- 0:53Two is easy.
- 0:54Three is moderate.
- 0:55Four is hard.
- 0:56Five is very hard.
- 0:57If you want to earn a PhD,
- 0:59that is considered the task that is very hard.
- 1:02So the hard task here should be
- 1:03getting straight As.
- 1:05And the moderate task would be
- 1:06to study for three hours.
- 1:08The easy task should be
- 1:09to study for ten minutes,
- 1:11and the very easy task should be
- 1:12to open your notes.
- 1:14So you go in reverse order
- 1:15and reverse engineer
- 1:17the most simple version of the habit
- 1:19that you can complete in two minutes.
- 1:21And every single day for two minutes,
- 1:24you would open your notes.
- 1:25And you will repeat that
- 1:26until you're ready to move on to the easy task
- 1:28which is to study for ten minutes.
- 1:31And after that you can begin to
- 1:33challenge yourself with the moderate goal,
- 1:35study for three hours.
- 1:36And then you can go for the hard goal
- 1:38which is to get straight A's.
- 1:40And then eventually you can take on
- 1:41the hardest task which is to get a PhD.
- 1:44But you should not rush the process
- 1:45and move on to the next step
- 1:47before you really master the first one.
- 1:49And he even said that
- 1:50a good rule of thumb is that
- 1:51the first two minutes should seem too easy.
- 1:54It should leave you a feeling of wanting to do more,
- 1:56and if it passes the point of feeling like work,
- 1:59then you're already doing too much.
- 2:01And as you repeat that act
- 2:03enough number of times,
- 2:04your brain will start to form patterns.
- 2:06And each time you repeat that act,
- 2:09the act will become easier and easier.
- 2:10You become more efficient at it,
- 2:12and gradually your brain will form this new pathway
- 2:15that will allow you to perform that act with mastery.
- 2:18And once you've repeated the act enough number of times
- 2:21that you pass the habit line.
- 2:23When engaging in the act is now effortless
- 2:26and even automatic to you,
- 2:27you're ready to move on to the next step.
- 2:29If you want to learn more about
- 2:30the habit line
- 2:31or how many repetitions it takes
- 2:33to get you past the habit line,
- 2:35feel free to check out my video
- 2:36on chapter 11 of Atomic Habits.
- 2:38And he said the reason why this strategy is effective
- 2:41is because every time you do the act,
- 2:43you are casting one vote toward
- 2:45your desired identity.
- 2:47Most people are too consumed
- 2:48by the end goal itself.
- 2:50Everybody wants to be in shape,
- 2:51but they don't want to
- 2:52go through the process of working out.
- 2:54So if you're someone that is out of shape,
- 2:56instead of obsessing over the idea of being fit,
- 2:59work on being the person
- 3:00that consistently shows up for gym exercises
- 3:03every single time and never misses one single workout.
- 3:06Keep your focus on the process
- 3:08rather than the end goal,
- 3:09The goal would take care of itself.
- 3:11Also, it is better to do less than what you hoped
- 3:14than to do nothing at all.
- 3:16One minute of guitar practice
- 3:17is better than nothing.
- 3:18And as long as you consistently practice the habit,
- 3:21your mastery of the act will increase,
- 3:24and you will be able to take on more and more challenges.
- 3:27But first, develop the habit.
- 3:29"A habit must be established
- 3:31before it can be improved."
- 3:32Instead of trying to
- 3:33engineer the perfect habit at the onset,
- 3:36focus on doing the easy thing first,
- 3:38and then standardize.
- 3:39Remember to put your reps in
- 3:41and stay below the point
- 3:42where it starts to feel like work.
- 3:44As you master the art of showing up,
- 3:46the first two minutes will become a ritual
- 3:48at the beginning of a larger routine.
- 3:51And the more you ritualize the beginning,
- 3:53the easier it will be for you to quickly get into the zone
- 3:57and carry out the desired act at peak performance.
- 4:00For more information on this idea,
- 4:03please check out my video on chapter 12 of Atomic Habits.
- 4:07This technique of
- 4:08breaking your larger goal down into smaller pieces
- 4:11and starting from something that's extremely simple,
- 4:14and gradually increasing the level of difficulty
- 4:16is called Habit Shaping.
- 4:18And you can combine it with the Twe-Minute Rule
- 4:21to scale up your habit
- 4:22toward the ultimate goal.
- 4:24To prevent failure,
- 4:25here are two things that you can do.
- 4:27One is to stay below the point
- 4:29where it starts to feel like work.
- 4:31The second is to keep a goal streak calendar
- 4:33to mark your progress
- 4:34and give yourself occasional rewards
- 4:36for every milestone you have.
- 4:38You can use a physical calendar
- 4:40and just check off the dates
- 4:42on every day that you've completed a task,
- 4:44or if you prefer to use your devices,
- 4:47there are plenty of softwares
- 4:48that can enable you to do so electronically.
- 4:51And the reason for keeping a goal streak calendar
- 4:54is that it gives you a sense of accomplishment.
- 4:57Having a visual reminder of
- 4:58how far you've gone* so far
- 4:59will help you focus on the process
- 5:01rather than how much you've accomplished in one day.
- 5:05And by simply focusing on
- 5:07checking off your goal streak,
- 5:09you can avoid the trap of going too fast too soon
- 5:12and biting off more than you could chew.
- 5:13There's also other ways to
- 5:15do that with a community of people.
- 5:16I've renamed all my videos
- 5:18to have the serial number
- 5:20of the total number of videos I've made.
- 5:22And now that I can see
- 5:23how many videos I've made,
- 5:25I have a much clearer sense of
- 5:27how far I've come along in the journey.
- 5:29And just by seeing that one number grow
- 5:31gives me a lot of motivation
- 5:33to continue on in making it even larger.
- 5:35I'd like to quickly summarize
- 5:37what we just learned in this chapter.
- 5:39We learned that
- 5:39there's only a few decisive moments in our day
- 5:42that determines the trajectory that
- 5:43determines the outcome of our day.
- 5:45We learned that many habits
- 5:47occur at these decisive moments.
- 5:50And even though the habits
- 5:51can be completed in a few seconds,
- 5:53their impact lasts for hours or even longer.
- 5:57And therefore,
- 5:57it is really important to take control over
- 5:59these habits that happen at decisive moments,
- 6:02so that we can regain control over our lives.
- 6:04And one of the best ways to develop those habits
- 6:07is by using a combination of The Two-Minute Rule
- 6:09with the Habit Shaping technique.
- 6:11And we learned that in order to
- 6:13make it easy for us to start a habit,
- 6:15we should not challenge ourselves
- 6:16with something that feels like work.
- 6:18At the very beginning,
- 6:19you should break the habit down
- 6:20and take no longer than two minutes
- 6:22to complete the minimum viable version of your habit.
- 6:26Stay below the point when it starts to feel like work
- 6:28and remember to keep track of your progress
- 6:31so that you can focus on the process
- 6:33and stay motivated.
- 6:34And then lastly,
- 6:35I would like to close this chapter
- 6:37with my favorite quote,
- 6:39"Standardized before you optimize,
- 6:40you can't improve a habit that doesn't exist."
- 6:43In the next video,
- 6:44we're going to talk about chapter 14,
- 6:45which is the last chapter on the third law
- 6:47of behavioral changes.
- 6:48Chapter 14, how to make good habits inevitable
- 6:51and bad habits impossible.
- 6:53We are going to learn
- 6:54this concept from psychology
- 6:55called Commitment Device,
- 6:56and how to apply that
- 6:58and make it extremely hard or even impossible for us
- 7:01to perform a bad habit.
- 7:03We're also going to learn how to
- 7:04automate our habits
- 7:06so that one smart decision
- 7:08made at the right time can
- 7:09pay off over and over again.
- 7:11All right,
