Episode 073: Habits

Becky and Diana discuss Gretchen Rubin's 4 Tendencies and how understanding them helps you develop successful habits. A habit is something you do without thinking about it. Most systems for developing habits tell you to employ either an "all or nothing" or "moderation" mindset. When working with others it is helpful to respect their tendencies. The 4 Tendencies focus on how you meet inner and outer expectations. The 4 Tendencies: Upholder - Meets both inner and outer expectations. Motto: "Discipline is my freedom." Questioner - Questions both inner and outer expectations, but makes decisions based on their inner expectations. Motto: "Convince me why, and I'll comply." Obligers - Meets outer expectations and resists inner ones. Motto: "You can count on me and I am counting on you to count on me." Rebel - Resists both inner and outer expectations.  Motto: "You can't make me and neither can I."
