• To meet your goals, forget willpower and fill your toolbox | Psyche Ideas

  • To meet your goals, forget willpower and fill your toolbox
  • decide what you want to do
  • what is personally important to you, and what you can do about it
  • writing down or communicating the goal to others
  • break it down into smaller pieces. Make those smaller goals specific, measurable and manageable
  • if your goal is personally meaningful, its pursuit will feel easier
  • reduce the strong desires
  • by setting up your surroundings so that temptations are, well, less tempting
  • making them unavailable
  • or less accessible
  • replace negative behaviours with positive ones
  • linked to specific situations
  • Try setting up cues or reminders that will make it easier to remember and/or complete the behaviour
  • link a new behaviour to habits you already have
  • remind yourself of the reason why you are doing the behaviour
  • have set a goal that is personally meaningful
  • bundle the new desired behaviour with something rewarding
  • Research also shows that using more strategies at once is more effective
  • variability (using different strategies in different situations) and flexibility (shifting strategies as needed) are particularly effective when it comes to self-control
  • building a toolbox of strategies that have worked for you in the past, and recalling these strategies, can help with self-control
  • to make positive changes in your life, do set yourself goals regularly
  • you don’t have to wait until the next new year
  • having all these tips and tricks is better than trying to rely on willpower alone
