Did you know that the habit system in your brain is somewhat separate from the area of your brain that is in charge of thinking, feeling, and deciding? This is why you often can't decide to break a habit and it's done. We believe we're acting in free choice, but we act on habit much more than we realize. Much of this cycle is engrained in our brains, based on the three bases of habit formation, seen below. 🔗 To find out how to actually break those bad habits, check out our Guide, Breaking Bad Habits with Wendy Wood, where you can discover the science behind habit-building: https://lnkd.in/d9KjSvnt ℹ Wendy Wood is a professor of psychology and business at the University of Southern California, and the author of "Good Habits, Bad Habits." In this Guide, she teaches you how to automate and create lasting habits that will steer you toward your long-term goals.

If you struggle to keep the focus on Fridays, we can help! 👇 Did you know Fridays can be super productive? In "Tranquility by Tuesday," author Laura Vanderkam explains it's the perfect time to plan your week ahead. 🗒️ Why Friday? Friday afternoons are when most people have started to slide into weekend relaxation. They aren’t in the frame of mind to push through intense work. So planning is the perfect project for this pocket of time. ✏ Setting up the following week and weekend also helps in another way: The immediate weekend ahead has already been planned, so you have things to look forward to. And if you've already accounted for that time, you'll enjoy the entire weekend without having to set aside planning time on Sunday! You can listen to the whole summary on Blinkist here 📲 https://lnkd.in/eQzRiJja

Ever wondered how to make your arguments at work more compelling and structured? Let's look at a powerful tool for framing arguments that ensures your main message stands out clearly and persuasively. 🔼 At the top of any pyramid, place your main message or desired action. This is the core of your argument, the key takeaway you want your audience to remember. 🔽 Beneath that, layer your supporting arguments, each backed by solid data and evidence. This foundation reinforces your central message, making your argument stronger and more convincing. 📐 Charles Conn recommends these three framework types to build out these pyramids: 1️⃣ Argument Structure: First, suggest a change. Then, detail the problem with evidence, explain the cause with proof, and propose a solution supported by data. This structure cycles back to reinforce the main message at the top. 2️⃣ Grouping Structure: Start with your governing thought. Then, branch out into subcategories (A, B, C), each advocating specific changes with clear reasons. This pyramid is ideal for when your argument has multiple facets. 🔄 Facing a skeptical audience? Try the Revealed Structure, which you can dive into in the full Guide with Charles here: https://lnkd.in/epsq8Nmw #ArgumentSkills #Communication #Persuasion #Leadership #Strategy
