1. Think things through
2. Repetition builds habits
3. Think about the benefits of the new habit you're adopting

[BhasamritaSarmah-zidp]

The 3 key takeaways to make or break habits -
1. Procedural memory: This is the process of remembering things in the exact order in which they should occur. For example, thinking through the exact steps to prepare a cup of coffee in the morning, right from walking in to the kitchen. Having procedural memory of the tasks to be carried out helps to perform them in real life, not just the first time but to do those tasks consistently.
2. Task bracketting: The part of the brain called 'basal ganglia' helps us in the formation of 'go' (habits that we want to continue doing) or 'no-go' (habits that we don't want to do or don't want to continue doing anymore) habits. Some people have stronger circuits associated with the 'go' habits and they can easily do whatever tasks they set their mind to. Some people have stronger circuits associated with the 'no-go' habits and its easy for them to give up on habits that they no longer want to continue. Maintaining a balance here is difficult, but is key to a satisfying life.
3. Positive anticipation: When applying procedural memory to any one particular 'go' habit, try to attach positive and rewarding emotions throughout the process and especially towards the end, without ignoring the difficult emotions altogether. When applying procedural memory to any one particular 'no-go' habit, try to attach negative emotions throughtout the process to make it easier to break.

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my YouTube channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1, 426 subs and > 1, 000 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

Visualization: think about every small steps associated with the particular task .
Task braketing : set a exact time bracket .this is the daily goal .like social activity, exercise this all are like brush the teeth no matter i have to do
Reward : before starting think how hard it is going to be ...nd after that finished reward urself

Thank you for linking Original podcast.

Probably one of the most important videos I've watched in my lifetime.

[MarketingRonaldinho]

1. Working Hard
2. Being able to rest
3. Positive Self Talk

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:

00:39 🧠 Practicing habits leads to changes in cognitive and neural mechanisms associated with procedural memory.
02:38 🧭 "Task bracketing" involves neural circuits that help acquire and stick to new habits or break existing ones.
03:51 💡 "Task bracketing" determines whether a habit will be context-dependent or strong and likely to occur consistently.
04:48 🦷 Brushing teeth is an example of a strong habit influenced by robust task bracketing neural circuits.
05:58 🌟 Positively anticipating the onset and offset of a habit and rewarding task bracketing can aid habit formation and maintenance.

Amazing video and i really enjoyed it. After watching this video i got clear clarity on how we can do new habit in our life and the importance also. What i understood in this video has reward you self like you planning to walk up at 5 am in everyday and go for a walk so next day onwards you just starting to walk up in early morning after that you just do what you more like or reward your self like eating chocolate or something. After you doing this in at least fourteen days this has become your habit and day by day we can do something new based on this rule. Finally thank you Andrew Huberman for the informative video and i really enjoyed it and if you really want to improve your self do this rule in your life and result is awesome and do if really want a change.

[deepikareddi]

a short and crisp video with non negotiable takeaways. what a great curation. Thank you.

ada 3 kebiasaan yang disampaikan Andrew:
1. terkait dengan prosedur, dimana seseorang harus memiliki visualisasi atau plan step by step kebiasaan baik yang akan dia lakukan atau jadiin gaya hidup.
2. mengenai task bracketing: membagi kejadian/saat melakukan kebiasaan baik sebelum, saat melakukan kebisaan, dan sesudah melakukan kebisaaan.
3. memaknai secara positif (hebat) dan negatif (kesulitan, penderitaan, dll) dalam kejadian yang dilakukan untuk melakukan kebisaan berdasarkan task bracketing diatas. Contohnya apa perasaan sesaat ngelakuin cardio 45menit, gimana penderitaannya, gimana enaknya, dsb.

Fast base learning, very informative, best YouTube channel!!!!

[premremo]

This is what I do and and it so surprising to hear that this is the way to create a best way of doing something

[annelabelle]

This video closes with "focus on REWARDING yourself for the execution" as well as the bracketed beginning and end. I just watched another Huberman video about not rewarding activities that are intrinsically enjoyable because the reward reduces the enjoyment. I think in this case with bracketing, "reward" means something different but I'm not entirely clear on the distinction.

I literally have that espresso making habit for me and my husband every morning, and it’s my favorite part of the day 😊

[xfrfucu]

I really appreciate the way you clearly simply explain these FACTS that anyone can start to implement ASAP🙏🏼🐬🙏🏼💎

[farahazouzi]

Thank you. This is very interesting. Can you please make a video about breaking the specific habit of smoking?

[amanmagar]

Thanks for the vedios, thanks to Mr Andrew for such insightful technique of habit formation ..

[ReflectionOcean]

00:01:50 Think through the specific steps required to execute a new habit.
00:02:24 Visualize the sequence of actions needed to perform a habit to increase the likelihood of regular execution.
00:04:59 Practice task bracketing by anticipating the start and end of a habit, and rewarding yourself for the effort.
00:05:23 Cast a spotlight on the events before and after a habit to create a neural imprint for its execution.
00:06:36 Reward the process of task bracketing along with the completion of the habit itself.

I find it that I am more “balanced” when it comes to go and no go… however… The go function is often inhibited by my autistic traits and sensory needs. I can feel deep resistance to almost anything some days and high motivation to go on other days… but it is not consistent and it does not form a pattern. I never know what it will be until I get to that time and check in with myself. It’s pretty frustrating. That is why making myself comfortable has to be a priority before I can perform or even (slightly) socialize.
