Episode Transcript And Overview
A big part of self-improvement, is adopting new habits, but making big changes all at once can be difficult. Trying to change your lifestyle all at once will make you less likely to stick with the new changes. However, big changes can also be made by compounding small changes. In today’s episode, Jeremy and Doug discuss micro-habits, which are small, positive changes that build up to help you make big improvements. They discuss how they’ve used micro-habits at work, at home, and in their personal lives.
Doug and Jeremy begin by discussing micro-habits in the workplace, particularly how they get their teams to buy into new habits. They then discuss micro-habits as they have impacted their families, from introducing their children to micro-habits to implementing new micro-habits for their own personal growth.
Timeline Notes
Today, Jeremy and Doug are discussing micro-habits. In the workplace, micro-habits can help us make improvements over time through small changes.
Thanks to small changes that have built up over the last year, Fluent Conveyors has made big improvements. These changes happen one step at a time and require adaptation.
Jeremy also encourages his team to stick by their micro-habits to allow them to compound, and to make improvements where they see a need for change.
In Doug and Jeremy’s families, they teach their kids micro-habits to help them learn to tackle things a little bit at a time.
When you get married, you bring your positive and negative habits with you. You can start to break negative habits by introducing new micro-habits.
