Why Productive Work Habits are

Important and Why They’re So Difficult

Being productive is simply a matter of choosing to work smart every day Ask successful people their productivity secret and they’ll say it’s consistent daily habits

Scientist Nikola Tesla worked everyday from 9AM-6PM Yet he walked 8-10 miles a day so he could incubate ideas until they gave way to "eureka"

moments

Habits are 45% of daily life We do them without thinking A Duke University study even says 45% of our habitual actions are done in the same location every day

We rely on habits so we don't have to think about tiny decisions such as which pants leg to put on first

or what to eat for breakfast Autopilot just kicks in

Because they’re automatic, they reserve our energies for problem solving — for tasks that rely on creativity and on conscious decisions Things like: programming code, writing sales letters, or drafting a new website design

According to researchers, forming a new habit requires an average of 66 days (roughly 2 months)

And if the new behavior is particularly complex? Up to

8 months

The human mind is naturally resistant to change We resist change typically because of fear (“This will make

my skills obsolete!”) or lack of communication (“Why

do we even need this change?”)

The classic psychological response to change:

To initiate change in workplace habits, communicate the reasons for it Why must this be done? How will the change benefit each person? Proper

communication helps quell the fears of all involved

Once you start a new habit, keep at it for at least 66 days — long enough for it to take root

You need to shepherd your team away from the anger

(“I hate this change!”), past the crisis (“I don’t know how to do this!”) and all the way into new confidence (“This is so much better than our old way!”)
