HOW TO MAKE YOUR FUTURE HABITS EASY

written by James Clear
Behavioral Psychology Habits

This article is an excerpt from Atomic Habits, my New York Times bestselling
book.

While researching Atomic Habits, I came across a story that immediately struck
me with its simplicity and power. It was the story of Oswald Nuckols, an IT
developer from Natchez, Mississippi, and his simple strategy for making future
habits easy.

Nuckols refers to the approach as “resetting the room.”

For instance, when he finishes watching television, he places the remote back on
the TV stand, arranges the pillows on the couch, and folds the blanket. When he
leaves his car, he throws any trash away. Whenever he takes a shower, he wipes
down the toilet while the shower is warming up. (As he notes, the “perfect time
to clean the toilet is right before you wash yourself in the shower anyway.”)

This might sound like he’s just “cleaning up” but there is a key insight that
makes his approach different. The purpose of resetting each room is not simply
to clean up after the last action, but to prepare for the next action.

“When I walk into a room everything is in its right place,” Nuckols wrote.
“Because I do this every day in every room, stuff always stays in good
shape . . . People think I work hard but I’m actually really lazy. I’m just
proactively lazy. It gives you so much time back.”

I have written previously about the power of the environment to shape your
behavior. Resetting the room is one way to put the power back in your own hands.
Let’s talk about how you can use it.



THE POWER OF PRIMING THE ENVIRONMENT

Whenever you organize a space for its intended purpose, you are priming it to
make the next action easy. This is one of the most practical and simple ways to
improve your habits.

For instance, my wife keeps a box of greeting cards that are presorted by
occasion—birthday, sympathy, wedding, graduation, and more. Whenever necessary,
she grabs an appropriate card and sends it off. She is incredibly good at
remembering to send cards because she has reduced the friction of doing so.

For years, I was the opposite. Someone would have a baby and I would think, “I
should send a card.” But then weeks would pass and by the time I remembered to
pick one up at the store, it was too late. The habit wasn’t easy.

There are many ways to prime your environment so it’s ready for immediate use.
If you want to cook a healthy breakfast, place the skillet on the stove, set the
cooking spray on the counter, and lay out any plates and utensils you’ll need
the night before. When you wake up, making breakfast will be easy.

Here are some more:

 * Want to draw more? Put your pencils, pens, notebooks, and drawing tools on
   top of your desk, within easy reach.
 * Want to exercise? Set out your workout clothes, shoes, gym bag, and water
   bottle ahead of time.
 * Want to improve your diet? Chop up a ton of fruits and vegetables on weekends
   and pack them in containers, so you have easy access to healthy, ready-to-eat
   options during the week.

These are simple ways to make the good habit the path of least resistance.


THE PATH OF MOST RESISTANCE

You can also invert this principle and prime the environment to make bad
behaviors difficult.

If you find yourself watching too much television, for example, then unplug it
after each use. Only plug it back in if you can say out loud the name of the
show you want to watch. (Which prevents you from turning on Netflix and “just
finding something” to watch.) This setup creates just enough friction to prevent
mindless viewing.

If that doesn’t do it, you can take it a step further. Unplug the television and
take the batteries out of the remote after each use, so it takes an extra ten
seconds to turn it back on. And if you’re really hard-core, move the television
out of the living room and into a closet after each use. You can be sure you’ll
only take it out when you really want to watch something. The greater the
friction, the less likely the habit.

Whenever possible, I leave my phone in a different room until lunch. When it’s
right next to me, I’ll check it all morning for no reason at all. But when it is
in another room, I rarely think about it. And the friction is high enough that I
won’t go get it without a reason. As a result, I get three to four hours each
morning when I can work without interruption.

If sticking your phone in another room doesn’t seem like enough, tell a friend
or family member to hide it from you for a few hours. Ask a coworker to keep it
at their desk in the morning and give it back to you at lunch.

It is remarkable how little friction is required to prevent bad behavior. When I
hide beer in the back of the fridge where I can’t see it, I drink less. When I
delete social media apps from my phone, it can be weeks before I download them
again and log in.

These tricks are unlikely to curb a true addiction, but for many of us, a little
bit of friction can be the difference between sticking with a good habit or
sliding into a bad one. Imagine the cumulative impact of making dozens of these
changes and living in an environment designed to make the good behaviors easier
and the bad behaviors harder.


WHERE TO GO FROM HERE

Whether we are approaching behavior change as an individual, a parent, a coach,
or a leader, we should ask ourselves the same question: “How can we design a
world where it’s easy to do what’s right?” Reset your rooms so that the actions
that matter most are also the actions that are easiest to do.

When you master habits of preparation, habits of execution become easy.
