Hey.

1
00:01.890 --> 00:05.750
Well done for completing yet another module.

2
00:05.760 --> 00:08.260
You're really putting a lot of these belts on,

3
00:08.310 --> 00:14.310
you know, like at the very beginning you were like a white belt when you first completed your first module,

4
00:14.310 --> 00:19.520
when you built the first things, when you built your first app, and now you're kind of getting on like

5
00:19.560 --> 00:23.460
towards the blue purplish sort of belts now.

6
00:23.520 --> 00:27.130
So I wanted to talk about.

7
00:28.920 --> 00:33.850
So I want to talk about another sort of thing that helps with habit building.

8
00:34.200 --> 00:38.890
And it's this idea of creating a cue for your habit.

9
00:39.000 --> 00:42.750
So if your habit it is say, that you wanted to create.

10
00:42.750 --> 00:50.700
So if the habit that you wanted to create was say, I don't know, do 50 press ups every day, or go to the gym

11
00:50.700 --> 00:59.970
every day, or in our case learning to code every day, then it really helps when you have a cue that you

12
00:59.970 --> 01:01.260
tag your habit onto.

13
01:01.260 --> 01:02.690
So what do I mean by that?

14
01:02.970 --> 01:06.740
Let's say that you already have a habit, right?

15
01:06.750 --> 01:08.390
You probably have loads of them.

16
01:08.400 --> 01:12.090
For me it could be, like, brushing my teeth in the mornings.

17
01:12.090 --> 01:21.840
So when I've tagged on this new habit I'm trying to form, like at the end of my existing habit,

18
01:22.050 --> 01:28.290
it makes it that much easier to do that thing that I want to do.

19
01:28.290 --> 01:34.140
So for example I had a habit that I was trying to form which is to meditate for 20 minutes every morning

20
01:34.980 --> 01:38.340
and I never really managed to get around to doing it.

21
01:38.340 --> 01:43.680
There was always something in the way, until I started saying, you know what,

22
01:43.680 --> 01:50.760
every single time, every morning after I brush my teeth, I am just going to go and sit down and meditate

23
01:50.760 --> 01:52.440
for 20 minutes.

24
01:52.440 --> 01:54.390
Nothing else.

25
01:54.450 --> 02:01.080
And once I started doing that it was like as if brushing my teeth was now this trigger or this cue for

26
02:01.080 --> 02:05.930
this other habit and because already I brush my teeth every day,

27
02:05.940 --> 02:13.860
I hope you do too, then that habit kind of like just allows the next habit to build a little bit easier.

28
02:14.580 --> 02:17.220
So try this out.

29
02:17.220 --> 02:23.460
See if you already have a habit and then try to do just half an hour of coding or an hour of coding

30
02:23.550 --> 02:29.820
afterwards and see if that helps you get into the groove a little bit easier.

31
02:30.350 --> 02:31.860
And let me know your results.

32
02:32.370 --> 02:35.450
But most importantly you've heard me say it.

33
02:35.490 --> 02:36.720
You can hear me say it again.

34
02:36.720 --> 02:38.700
Keep going, keep going.

35
02:39.480 --> 02:43.860
I'm here for you cheering you on and I think you're great.

36
02:43.860 --> 02:45.240
I think you're doing fantastic.

37
02:45.600 --> 02:46.650
So keep going.
