Most Effective Habit Change Method & Optimizing Everything @ Comprehensivist Wed
Details
Shrikant will be interviewing Spencer Greenberg on his Habit Change study and on Optimizing Everything by applying mathematics to life. PLUS we will be doing breakout rooms to work on applying the habit change method to our lives.
“Participants in our study tried out 23 different techniques designed to support a behavior change. One method really outperformed the rest...
[500 people participated in this 2 year study.]
WHAT WORKED BEST: HABIT REFLECTION
The technique that worked by far the best is what we call “Habit Reflection.” It’s powerful because it customizes itself to your personal history and experiences. Habit Reflection is all about using the lessons of your past in the present.
Habit Reflection has three simple steps:
- Pick a past situation where you were able to successfully change your long-term behavior or create a new habit.
- Write down anything you learned from this past situation about how to successfully form new habits, or any tactics you used to help make this change that could apply to your new habit.
- Create a brief written plan for applying those lessons to your new habit.
This fast and simple method helped participants to practice their habits 0.7 more times per week on average than others—a 140% improvement over the second-most-effective technique.”

Welcome to the series "Comprehensivist Wednesdays". Transdisciplinarity, Renaissance humanism, homo universalis, and Polymathy are some of the ways of describing this approach which Buckminster Fuller called Comprehensivity and described as “macro-comprehensive and micro-incisive”.
