If you haven't been able to make sustainable changes, small shifts in your choices can make a big difference. Try starting here, writes DrAliceBoyes
I suck at throwing old food out of my fridge, but I'm more likely to do it if I've written the date I opened the item on the container. For example, I write the date on a carton of soy milk when I open it so that I throw out whatever is left a week later.
For anything you want to do more of, or do more consistently, identify what would make that more likely. Make that behavior your habit.The more convenient a behavior is, the more likely it is we'll do it. However,"convenient" can feel too abstract. One way to think of convenience is whether an item you need is within arm's length. For me to write the date on my soy milk carton, it helps if a Sharpie is only arm's length from the fridge.
This isn't a hard and fast rule. You might prefer to think of this as"within a few steps" or"not beyond a doorway." For example, my paper recycling bin is about 3 steps from my front door. This means that when I collect my mail, I only need to walk a few steps to dump 80-90% of it in there. This helps make sure I sort the mail straight away rather than leaving the pile somewhere to look at later.
How did I figure this out? I noticed that I don't put off cleaning out the fridge when my spouse is out of town. Reverse engineer your habit design based on your observations. If she's not out of town now, then when will she be, and I can clean the fridge then?You'll never be able to perfectly predict whether a habit you're trying to develop will stick. Be willing to experiment. Design your habits based on what your real self are willing to do, not your ideal self/ideal family.
