Tiny Habits

Kernaussagen

• Verhalten entsteht, wenn Motivation, Können und Auslöser zusammentreffen
• Mach die Gewohnheit so klein, dass sie selbst am miesesten Tag klappt
• Verankere Neues direkt an einer festen Routine
• Feiere dich sofort: Gefühle verankern Gewohnheiten
• Gestalte dein Umfeld, statt nur auf Willenskraft zu setzen

In diesem Bit

1. Veränderung fällt leicht, wenn sie winzig ist

   BJ Fogg, a Stanford behaviour scientist, once decided to do 2 push-ups every time he went to the bathroom. It sounds silly, but within months he was doing dozens a day without effort.

2. Die Verhaltensformel

   Fogg's central model says a behaviour happens when 3 things line up at the same moment: motivation, ability and a prompt. He writes it as B equals MAP.

3. Mach es so klein, dass es leichtfällt

   Fogg suggests two ways to make any behaviour tiny. Either take a starter step, like putting on your running shoes rather than running, or scale down the whole thing, like flossing 1 tooth instead of all of them.

4. Docke an bestehende Routinen an

   A new habit needs a reliable prompt, and Fogg says the best prompt is a behaviour already in your life. He calls this an anchor.

5. Feiere es, um es zu verankern

   This is the part most habit advice misses. Fogg argues that habits form through emotion, not repetition alone.

6. In die Praxis umsetzen

   This week, choose one habit you want and shrink it until it takes under 30 seconds, like 1 push-up or writing 1 sentence. Find an anchor by listing 5 things you already do every day and picking the one that happens in the right place and at the right time.
