One “must” for this week
"How to form habits in real life" by Scott Young.
Forming lasting habits may feel challenging; while habits can be understood as cue-response relationships, real-life situations introduce numerous challenges.
Scott reflects on the importance of problem-solving and skill learning in habit formation, suggesting that successful habit change involves setting goals, creating strategies, and addressing specific challenges rather than relying solely on conditioning.
Ultimately, he argues that effective habit formation is not a cue-response relationship but ends up in a collection of flexible strategies that deal with most scenarios reality throws at us.
When we do that, we acquire a kind of expertise—not of a subject, but of ourselves.
