Causes Of Habitual Disorganization

Decent Essays

I, however, didn’t know that I was wrong, and it was going to be far from any other. I have a habit, a detrimental one, that was slowly being fed and reassured as “ok” the more and more I went through my schooling. That habit has a name, procrastination, yet I never saw it as a problem because with every assignment and paper I wrote the night before and was able to get a decent grade, there was this unconscious signal that reassure me that if done once, it could be done again.…

    In order to change individual habits you need to understand how the Habit Loop works within our brain, which takes a three- step loop: the cue, the routine, and the reward. Williams James wrote in 1892 that most of the choices we make each day may feel like products of well-considered decision making but they’re not. They are actually habits. Habits can be as simple as how we order our meals, how often we exercise or even what we say to our children each night. It is essential to understand how our brain stores different functions, how habits emerge and how the Habit Loop works within our brain.…

    How often do you find yourself breaking out of your daily habits, having lunch with that new person at work, or asking that girl or guy you’ve been eyeing out on a date? Humans are hard-wired to stick to their routines, and as a result we sit around and wait for someone else to take a chance and break out of their routine. Sean Covey, a respected author, once said, “We become what we repeatedly do.” Routines can become a prison, trapping us into mundane daily tasks and isolating us from new experiences. Synonyms for routine include predictable, monotonous, tedious, repetitive, and many more.…

    No matter the circumstance, if it could go wrong in my life, it does; and I can do nothing except trail behind and scavenge whatever remnants I can. My cat will unplug my alarm so I over sleep, then I’ll trip over my backpack in my rush to get ready and must stop and make sure my toe isn’t broken, then I’ll go apologize to my brother for waking him up late, and then when I arrive at school, I’ll realize that I left my notebook on my dresser and my pen on the bathroom counter and my laptop—that was plugged into a cord that wasn’t plugged into the wall—will have 2% battery and I’ll stumble through my entire day that way. Regular occurrences like this create a perpetual feeling of inferiority, forcing me to obsess over maintaining…

    In a real world, when we wake up, we do the same type of things every day. Some people eat the same type of food, wear the same type of outfits, have the same hairstyles; many people repeat the same type of thinking pattern, and often the same types of small decisions we make in our lives. We have been doing these things for so long that we don’t even realize that they are the sum of our habits, and that’s what leads us to what we are today. Habits are what build our life and character. Habits are different from person to person.…
