On Habits, Rerouting Them, and Using Them to Renew Your Life

✸

To begin to combat automatic behaviors or processes, break your habits up into their components.

Cue. A cue is a trigger that tells your brain to go into automatic mode and which habit to use. This trigger can be anything from a physical location and a person, to a smell, a taste or an emotional state.

Routine. The routine is the activity you are about to perform when you are triggered by a cue. It can be physical, mental or emotional.

Reward. Duhigg refers to the reward as something that helps our brain figure out if a particular loop is worth remembering in the future. The reward is mainly achieved mentally after a connection with something physical like a chocolate or a cigarette.

✸

The more we encounter this loop, the more automatic the habitual process becomes. However, the real moving force behind the habit loop is what Duhigg refers to as cravings. As we associate cues with certain rewards, a subconscious craving emerges in our brains that starts the habit loop spinning. Whenever we crave something, our brain somehow urges us to feel the same feeling we will experience when we actually reach the reward stage of the loop. The stronger the craving, the stronger our desire to perform that particular habit.

Creativity is Productivity

Recently I came upon an article about creativity and productivity by Wall Street Journal best selling book author Scott Young. In it he explores various traits of creative people and how they transition into productivity. Below is an interesting excerpt of his findings. Nearly two centuries ago, the Belgian sociologist Adolphe Quetelet observed the impressively tight link between personal…

reasons why I really love Scott Pilgrim Takes Off

Ramona and her exes (sans Gideon, I guess) get closure

several characters get their personalities expanded. EX: Wallace goes from gay and a voice-of-reason to gay, self-obsessed, and a bad communicator in relationships.

Roxie becomes more than just Ramona’s “lesbian phase” in college and it is able to befriend Ramona again

Neil goes from being completely forgettable to being stupid enough for others to bounce off of and it’s so fun to watch

Knives gets to join Sex Bob-omb!

the war Scott vs. Older Scott being used to approach Scott’s immaturity/unwillingness to take accountability is very interesting

Todd has a bisexual awakening because of Wallace and doesn’t end up with him

Julie gets to be evil, as a treat

Matthew Patel overtaking Gideon was honestly unexpected, yet so satisfying to watch

if the post-credits clip means that there’s going to be a season 2, hope to see Scott get closure with his exes.

Having now read the scott pilgrim comic and watched the anime in quick succession it's actually funny how some of the flatter characters now have more to them by virtue of having been flanderized..... okay I need to elaborate on that. Example.

Wallace Wells in the comic: basically no character traits other than being gay and being the voice of reason to Scott's nonsense.

Wallace Wells in the anime: hyper-narcissistic, hedonistic heartbreaker. Better than you and knows it. Totally over the top. Zany as fuck.

Anime Wallace is a way less realistic character but his exaggerated self-obsession ironically makes him a lot more fun and gives him more presence. A lot of the side characters are like this. Comic Neil is barely even there, while Anime Neil is consistently stupid as hell but in a way that lets the other characters bounce off him. The anime in general has a much wackier tone than the comic. In another series, this wouldn't work. Here, for some reason, it does.
