Introduction

Find the full show note at HackingYourADHD.com/habits This week we're going to be exploring the power of habit and how small changes to our routines can have a big impact. One of the easiest ways we can help our ADHD is by working on routines and habits. It's easy to let our default habits run our lives but when we consciously choose what habits we actually want to cultivate we aren't hamstringing ourselves. 

In this episode we'll be learning why we don't need to use discipline nearly as much as we think, the importance of sequencing in our habits and how we can make tweaks in those sequences so that we can change our habits to the ones we actually want.  Today's Top Tips

1. Don't rely on discipline, instead use your habits to help you navigate the hard stuff.
2. Our habits are so ingrained that we don't always realize what we're doing while we're doing them.
3. Our habits follow the path of least resistance - if you want to change a bad habit, add resistance. If you want to form a new habit, reduce the resistance to that habit.
4. You can automate processes in your habit sequences so that you aren't relying on discipline.
