Use Someone Else’s Behavior as Cues to Create New Habits

Creating new habits is tough, even witha few tricks up your sleeve.

TheCue-Routine-Reward systemsworks great, if you’re free to find your cues.

If you’re having trouble, try using someone else’s cue.

before you make a purchase over $50, you have to call your brother and tell him.

You might tell the person they’re your cue out of courtesy, but you don’t have to.

Eventually, you’ll change your habits and create your personal cue instead of relying on others.
