The Challenge Created By Scheduling Your Habits

The Silent And Subconscious Killer Of Your Goals

When you do things Consistently for a "Long" Time...

People begin to Ask Questions.

As Humans, we have this Curiosity to Understand How People Accomplish Things.

When I tell people that I've Written and Published Articles Daily for 800 Days Straight...

They ask When Do I Write?

If I have a Ritual?

Whether there is a Best Time in the Day to Write?

I get similar questions when people ask me about my 285 Days Straight of Running at least 1 Mile Every Day (Usually Barefoot).

Where The Questions Come From

I completely Understand the Questions.

When we ask these types of Questions, we are Attempting to Figure Out How "We" Could Do Something Similar.

People do not care How Many Days "I" Have Written.

They want to Figure Out How "They" Can Write That Many Days.

People could care less How Many Days "I" Have Ran.

They care even "Less" that I've mostly done it Barefoot...

Except in thinking of it as an Oddity.

They Only want to Know How "They" Can Run that Frequently (But probably with Shoes On).

This is where the Questions of "When" and "Best Times" Come Up.

You're trying to Figure Out How to Plan These Activities Into Your Schedule.

The World Of Habit Building

Indeed, many people find it Helpful to Schedule their Newly Forming Habits into their Busy Days.

You'll hear things like BJ Fogg's ABCs of Habit Building from "Tiny Habits"...

Anchor - Using Something You Already Do Consistently

Behavior - Doing the New Habit You Want to Develop After the Anchor

Celebrate - Give yourself some Credit for making Progress!

It is a Brilliant Model.

Scientifically, there is a Wealth of Benefits.

There are also wonderful Models in the Books "The ONE Thing" by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan (My Favorite) and "Atomic Habits" by James Clear.

Those Three Books are the Trifecta of Forming Habits.

However, I find One Major Problem with the Ideas around Scheduling Your Habits...

The Challenge Of Scheduling

Reality.

Now, is using a Schedule a Great Framework for the Beginning Processes of Building a Habit?

Absolutely.

But, eventually, Reality Strikes.

You have a Specific Time Set for a Habit... But a Potential Customer "Needs" that Time Spot, and it is the "Only" Opportunity Available for Months.

An Industry Event is Upcoming and Falls into that Same Time Slot.

You Decide to Go on Vacation or a Quick Trip to See Family or Friends, and You Lack the Same Equipment and Schedule where You're Headed.

Maybe it is a Flight that you're Preparing For and the Travel that Follows to get to your Destination (as it is going to be for Me Today).

What usually happens to People in "All" of these Scenarios?

The Consequences

The Habit Drops.

Perhaps you pick it back up the Next Day...

But Far More Often, One Day Becomes Two.

Two Days Become a Week.

Months Go By.

You begin to Wonder...

How did I Fall Off that Habit so Hard?

The Psychology Behind The Schedule

One of the Major Reasons this Happens is "Because" of the Schedule.

When we are Designing a Schedule, what are we Doing?

Subconsciously, we are Telling Ourselves that "This" is Exactly How Things are Supposed to Happen.

To an Extent, that is Positive...

You Set the Schedule and then No Longer Need to Consciously Focus on It...

The Brain Can Focus Elsewhere...

The Habit "Has a Place"...

Until it Doesn't.

When the Schedule is Required to Change...

Your Brain has Not been Consciously Planning "What" to Do with the Change.

Further, we are frequently moving "So Fast" in our Lives...

We Do Not Stop to "Think"...

We Simply go into "Reaction" Mode, mostly acting Subconsciously.

As we Move Subconsciously, we Fail to Do the Habit.

The Longer we Fail to Do the Habit, the Less Likely We Are to "Continue" it Later.

In Silence, the Habit is Killed.

My Response To These Types Of Questions

So when people ask "When" is the Best Time, or "When" Do I Do Something...

I Say I Do It Whenever I Need To.

With a Ritual.

Without One.

There are Many Days when I Cram Everything in at Night.

Today, I had to Get Everything Done Early, "Before" My Flight.

My Schedule Changes Frequently.

I Cannot "Afford" to Limit the Habits that Improve My Life to the Bars of a Schedule.

Sometimes, I need to Change the Plan.

Overcoming The Dark Side Of The Schedule

Although a Schedule can have Many Benefits...

It can also Become a Prison of Your Time.

What You Must Understand is that a Schedule is just a Tool...

But it is Not Always the Appropriate Tool to get the Job Done.

If You "Truly" want your Habits to Stick...

Especially for Years...

The Habit Must Be Able to Exist "Beyond" the Bars of the Schedule.

There will be Days when you Must Break the "Norm".

Perhaps Weeks when You Must.

Do Not Fear going Off-Schedule if the Habit is Important.

You Should Not Allow a Schedule to Dictate Your Success in Life.

You're Worth More.
