How to acquire and keep new habits

The post-crisis period is a good time to make sure (good) new practices last. Rolling out a more flexible management style, getting the hang of new tools, strengthening teleworking rituals — these are just some of the practices that can be turned into lasting habits.

Based on

Good Habits, Bad Habits: The Science of Making Positive Changes That Stick by Wendy Wood (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2019).

1/ TAKE A LONG, HARD LOOK AT YOUR HABITS

The silver lining in this crisis? It has enabled you to make a clean break from bad habits and start creating better ones. 

  • Start by reviewing the goals you want to prioritize in the future. 
  • Check whether your old habits are in step with these goals — now is the time to ditch those that are past their sell-by date. 
  • Identify (at least) one good practice started during the crisis that you would like to keep using and make a habit.
