The power of habits - and the power to change them | Daniel H. Pink - 0 views

  • every habit is made up of a cue, a routine and a reward
  • Duke University researcher in 2006 found that more than 40 percent of the actions people performed each day weren’t the due to decision making, but were habits
  • But that doesn’t mean that habits are destiny. Habits can be ignored, changed, or replaced. And studies show that simply understanding how habits work — learning the structure of the habit loop — makes them easier to control. Once you break a habit into its components, you can fiddle with the gears.

We need to understand what these metaphors imply and how they impact the Internet's future.

It's not about knowledge transfer | Harold Jarche - 0 views

  •  
    Blog by Harold Jarche, April 30, 2012. This excerpt IMO justifies why women (and everyone else!) needs to know how to work in social networks to learn and to help others learn and apply their "capacity for action" in their workplaces and elsewhere. They can transform their workplaces through enriched learning practices. They may not have the HR title but they can still role model organizational learning on a small scale at least. Excerpt: "Individual learning in organizations is irrelevant, as work is almost never done by one person alone. Knowledge, Senge said, is the capacity for effective action (know how) and it is the only aspect of knowledge that really matters in business and life. Value is created by teams and mostly by networks of people. While learning may be generated in teams, this type of knowledge comes and goes. Learning really spreads through social networks." Excerpt: It shows that the company never gave any thought to organizational learning. ■Are employees narrating their work in a transparent environment? ■Does the daily routine support social learning? ■Is time made available for reflection and sharing stories? "Narrating their work in a transparent environment," "support social learning," and "reflection" are all linked to other resources.

Does Our Current Education System Support Innovation? | MindShift | KQED News - 0 views

  • We can’t just buy iPads (or any device), add water, and hope that strategy will usher schools to the leading edge of 21st century education. Technology, by itself, isn’t curative. Human agency shapes the path.
  • The social and economic world of today and tomorrow require people who can critically and creatively work in teams to solve problems.
  • All computing devices — from laptops to tablets to smartphones — are dismantling knowledge silos

  • Within this model, standardization and mass production rule supreme.
  • Innovation, whether it’s with technology, assessment or instruction, requires time and space for experimentation and a high tolerance for uncertainty.
  • he margin can be a small percentage of class time that’s carved out each week for experimentation
  • Learning environments of the future are in incubation. And therein lies the challenge: Learning environments that don’t exist can’t be analyzed.
  • Moving into the unknown requires a pioneering spirit.

    Great blog post from 2012 on how difficult it is to change teaching practice to embrace technology and new learning routines when the margin for experimentation, error, time, & definition of academic success is so narrow

Habits: Why We Do What We Do - 0 views

  • 40% to 45% of what we do every day sort of feels like a decision, but it’s actually habit.
  • There’s a cue, which is like a trigger for the behavior to start unfolding, A routine, which is the habit itself, the behavior, the automatic sort of doing what you do when you do a habit.
  • And then at the end, there’s a reward. And the reward is how our neurology learns to encode this pattern for the future.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • diagnose the cue and the reward.
  • every cue falls into usually one of five categories.
  • t’s usually a time of day, a certain place, the presence of certain other people, a particular emotion, or kind of a set of behaviors that’s become ritualized.
  • And that’s the reward that I was craving, was socialization.
  • keystone habits. Some habits seem to have a disproportionate influence
  • And in a lot of people’s lives a keystone habit is exercise. When they start exercising, they start using their credit cards less. They start procrastinating less. They do their dishes earlier. Something about exercise makes other habits more malleable.
  • So O’Neill actually said, I want to make workers more safe. I want to change worker safety habits. And everyone could sign on to that. What he was actually saying was, I want to make every single factory more efficient and more productive and producing a higher quality product, because that’s how we make things safer. But if he had come in and he had ordered greater efficiency, everyone would have rebelled, all the workers at least. But you come in and you say, I want to make everything safer, that’s something everyone can sign onto.
  • But 5% of your job as a CEO is making the big strategy choice. 95% is managing small choices, managing what your culture is going to be like, managing how you structure the rewards and the incentives that determine how people kind of automatically behave.
  • And when psychologists have looked at quantum changers, what they found is these are people who suddenly became very deliberate about their habits. There’s something almost magical about understanding how habits work, because studies show that once you understand, once you think about the structure of a habit, it becomes easier to change that habit. And once you change that habit, you start making these small, incremental adjustments to your day that over a year or over a decade can add up to a huge difference.

How we form habits, change existing ones -- ScienceDaily - 0 views

  • When our intentional mind is engaged, we act in ways that meet an outcome we desire and typically we're aware of our intentions. Intentions can change quickly because we can make conscious decisions about what we want to do in the future that may be different from the past. However, when the habitual mind is engaged, our habits function largely outside of awareness. We can't easily articulate how we do our habits or why we do them, and they change slowly through repeated experience. "Our minds don't always integrate in the best way possible. Even when you know the right answer, you can't make yourself change the habitual behavior," Wood says.
  • Forty percent of the time we're not thinking about what we're doing," Wood interjects. "Habits allow us to focus on other things…Willpower is a limited resource, and when it runs out you fall back on habits."
  • The second principle is remembering that repetition is key.

  • there are three main principles to consider when effectively changing habitual behavior. First, you must derail existing habits and create a window of opportunity to act on new intentions.

"As soon as they did that, people started using it at the end of their cleaning habits to make things smell as nice as they looked," he says.

But companies can figure this out, and that's how they can make products work."
