“A habit is a decision that we have made at some point, and we stop making the decision, but continue acting on it,” says Charles Duhigg, an author and a writer at The New Yorker. This man on a mission talks about the importance of building good habits instead of bad ones. He also discusses how to focus on the cue and the routine of the habits that you would like to change. Shockingly, he shares that approximately 70 percent of our daily activities are dictated by habit. “Most things are a decision. It’s happening automatically,” he reveals. Charles also talks about the importance of optimizing communication patterns by reassessing some of the habits that we have formed over the years. “Change the cues that trigger the bad habit,” he encourages.
