Tiny Habits - How can you make a behavior easier? l EP #76
Continuing with the “Tiny Habits” theme, Prep Dish founder Allison Schaaf talks about the Ability element of behavior today. Based on BJ Fogg’s book, Tiny Habits, “ability” refers to how easy/convenient versus difficult/inconvenient a behavior is. Allison walks you through questions to ask yourself to determine what is making a new habit difficult. She also goes through 3 strategies to make a new behavior easier.
