How to Build a Habit Lab: A Guide to Scientifically Re-engineering Your Behaviour
Because you need to know that when I talk about habits, I come from a place of knowledge; it’s a dark, messy, nasty place with $4 happy hour shots and wine bags.
And you need to know that when I say habits can be made and patterns can be broken — it’s based on fact and experience.
Our brains are wired to conserve effort by encoding frequent behaviours into automatic habits. While this mechanism helps us get through daily routines efficiently, it can also work against our self-improvement.
My goal for this article is simple. I’m not here to give you hacks or shortcuts to increase productivity. Enough books have been written on that topic going back through decades of pop business and pop psychology bullshit.
I want to provide research-backed insights into how habits form and offer practical strategies to rewire your habit loops. We’ll dive deep into the science behind behaviour change, analysing critical studies and models. You’ll learn counterintuitive lessons that challenge conventional wisdom on achieving goals. I’ll share thought-provoking perspectives from psychology, neuroscience and social sciences. Understanding the hidden forces that drive our actions allows us to gain self-mastery and live more purposefully.
