Help me improve my habits

Neuropsychologist Dr Harvey Jones interviews Clinical Psychologist Dr Damon Ashworth about how people can improve their healthy habits and decrease their unhelpful habits.

Together, they discuss:

* what are helpful and unhelpful habits, and why are these better terms than good and bad habits?

* when does a habit become unhelpful?

* what are some ways that we can break unhelpful habits?

* what are some positive things that we can do to improve our chances of developing more healthy habits over time?

* does habit stacking work?

* can bundling something you want to do with something you have to do make it more likely for you to do the thing you have to do?

* why relying on willpower to change habits is potentially setting yourself up to fail?

* why your environment and the people that are around you are more important to the habits you engage in than you realise?

* what commitment devices are and how they can help you to stick at something you want to do even if you can't feel bothered?

* what are prompts and why are they important?

*why it might be important for you to start small and then slowly build up how much you are doing over time?
