Kick Off Your Daily Journaling Habit With This Simple Template - 0 views

  •  
    Patrick Allan from Lifehacker proposes this simple journal template to reflect each day. In the Challenge course with Jane Hart, we are using this at the end of our day as a daily reflection, and then will report via our discussion group about our learning, and respond to others. It is a nice ritual to practice. Part of the exercise at the end of the week is to discuss how we will continue the practice after the 15 weeks are over.

  • There is no doubt that we need to innovate, collaborate and evaluate, to name three of the “21st-century” so dear to digital literacy enthusiasts. But such skills can’t be separated from the knowledge that gives rise to them. To innovate, you need to know what came before. To collaborate, you must contribute knowledge to the joint venture. And to evaluate, you have to compare new information with knowledge you’ve already mastered.

  • In 2005 researchers at the University of Connecticut asked a group of seventh graders to read a website full of information about the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus, or Octopus paxarbolis. The Web page described the creature’s leafy habitat, diet and mating rituals in precise detail. Then, applying an analytical model they’d learned, the students evaluated the trustworthiness of the site and the information it offered.   Their assessment? The tree octopus was legit. All but one of the pupils rated the website as “very credible.” T

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.

  • 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.
