A habit-building method you can do in 1 minute a day. You won't give up anymore.

This time, I will be presenting on the theme of
“how to build habits without giving up halfway.”

“I’m going to lose 10kg!”
“I’m going to be able to speak English!”
“I’m going to be able to earn 100,000 yen a month.”

Diets, English conversation, side hustles...
that you started after setting such goals.

Three months later,
the feelings you had back then have completely faded,
and you end up discouraged, thinking,
“It was impossible for me,”
“In the end, I couldn't keep it up,”
or “I’ll look for another way.”

I think everyone has had the experience of
trying to take on a challenge,
only to end up giving up because they couldn't keep it going.

To lead things to success, consistency is important.

Everyone knows that,
but that consistency is what's difficult, isn't it?

I tend to give up quite easily, so
I understand this feeling extremely well.

I have been learning business for about half a year now,
and I am approaching it with a strong determination:
“I don't want to give up halfway anymore”
and “I will make it a success this time!”

There is a motivation management method
that I have adopted
and that is working quite well for me.

Huh? That's it?

You might think that,
but I will introduce a method that is super simple
but extremely effective, so

“I don't want to end up as a quitter,”
“I don't want to give up halfway,”
“I absolutely want to grasp success”

If that sounds like you,
please read until the end.

You'll forget almost all of it by the next day

The other day, my daughter brought home
her report card.

There is a “parent/guardian comment section” on the report card,
and I have to write a comment here
and return it after the long weekend.

“It’s a three-day weekend, so I’ll write it later at my leisure.”

So you thought that, and left it alone, didn't you?

Then, I completely forgot about it, and
on the morning after the long weekend, my daughter reminded me, and
in the end, I had to rush to fill it out in a panic, oh man.

I think everyone has had an experience like this.

Regardless of age or a forgetful personality,
that has nothing to do with it,
humans are creatures that forget.

We start forgetting the very moment we learn something.

That is just how the brain is built.

There is a very famous experiment called the
Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curvethat
exists.

The Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve

Once people input information,
they start forgetting it immediately,
and after just 20 minutes, they have forgotten about 40 percent of it.

By the next day, they have forgotten about 70 percent,
and after one month, they have forgotten 80 percent.

So, we basically remember almost nothing (laughs).

So, what can we do to not forget?

It's simple. You just need to review.

By repeating and reviewing,
it becomes harder to forget.

If I had repeated to myself,"Fill out the parent's section of the report card"

about once every 20 minutes,
I'm sure I wouldn't have forgotten (laughs).


When you forget your goals, your motivation drops and your ability to take action decreases.

So, because humans are forgetful creatures,
even for something as important as a "goal,"
the brain will mercilessly forget it.

Everyone has a "goal"
when they start something, don't they?

"I'm going to study hard and pass my target school."
"I'm going to go on a diet and wear those clothes that don't fit anymore."
"I'm going to practice every day and learn to play hit songs."

I don't think there are many people
who start something
without having any goals.

Because you know your goal
and are working toward it,
your motivation increases,
and it becomes the source of your actions.

And when you lose sight of your goal
or the goal becomes vague,
you lose sight of why you are doing it,
your motivation drops,
and your ability to take action declines.

To continue doing things and lead them to success,
not forgetting your goal
is incredibly important.

But, you do forget.

Because humans are creatures that forget.

Even if you think,
"I will never forget my goal!", you will forget.

That is how the human brain is built.
Willpower cannot cover for it.

No matter how strong your thoughts or willpower
may be,
you will eventually forget.

Even if you don't forget completely,
it will definitely fade over time.

You cannot maintain the same level of intensity.

Strong willpower becomes
average willpower over time, and eventually
becomes weak willpower.

It's like how even if it's burning brightly at first,
the fuel gradually runs out,
and the heat weakens.

Then, your motivation and ability to take action
will also weaken as if being pulled along.


Keep your goal where you can see it every day

So, how can you keep from forgetting your goal
and keep your willpower from weakening?

It's simple.

In short, if you review,
you won't forget and it will stick,
so you just need to review.

To be specific,

Every day, in a place you can see,
post your goal.

This way, you won't forget it.

In dramas about entrance exams, there are often scenes where
people have notes like "Pass for sure!"
stuck around their desks,
right?

That is actually effective.

By seeing it every day,
you will never forget your goal.

It doesn't have to be a sticky note.

  • Stick it on your PC desktop as a digital note

  • Set it as your smartphone wallpaper

  • Write it on the calendar page of your planner

Anything is fine.

You might think,

"Is that it?"
but it is surprisingly effective.

The human brain,
when you input a goal every day,
starts to take action toward it.

(*I wrote about the brain functions you absolutely cannot fight against in this article)

So, if you thought,
"Is that it?"
I highly recommend you give it a try.

It's just that, but surprisingly, not many people do it
.

That's why only those who do it
know how effective it is f^^


3 steps to skyrocket the effectiveness

When you see your goal every day,
the goal is installed in your brain,
and you start to feel strongly
that you absolutely want to achieve it.

That feeling
leads to motivation and the ability to take action,
creating great momentum.

Seeing your goal every day
Even just doing this
is something almost no one does,
so you could say it's enough, but
there is a way to make it even more effective.

That is, these three things:

  • Make your goal a definitive affirmative sentence

  • Read it aloud to install it in your brain

  • Write it down to engrave it in your body


Make your goal a definitive affirmative sentence

First, make it an "affirmative sentence."

For example, if you are going on a diet,

instead of negative sentences like
"Stop snacking" or "Don't rebound,"

use affirmative sentences like

"Lose 10kg" or
"Wear size ◯ clothes."

Make them into affirmative sentences.

With a goal setting like "Stop snacking,"
your brain imagines the image of "snacking."

It's the same with "Don't rebound;"
you imagine the image of "having rebounded."

To head straight toward your goal,
it is important to use an "affirmative sentence"
so that you don't let your brain imagine
the "state of not being able to do it."

Also, it is important to make it a "definitive sentence."

Instead of "I want to lose 10kg,"
you should make it "I will lose 10kg."

With the former, it ends with,
'So you want to lose weight. Hmm.'

With the latter, it becomes,
'Alright, let's take action to lose weight!'


Read aloud to install it in your brain

Once you set a goal to 'lose 10kg',
read it aloud once every day.

Even if it's your own voice,
you recognize it as something told to you by someone else.

You know how a child asked to go shopping
might go to the store
repeating, '100g of pork, 100g of pork...'
over and over?

This is actually effective.

Instead of just thinking
(100g of pork, 100g of pork...)
in your head,
you should say it out loud properly.

By doing this,
you are not only outputting it voluntarily,
but also inputting it through your ears
at the same time,
so it gets installed in your brain more reliably.


Write it down to engrave it in your body

Even up to this point, you can engrave it into your brain quite powerfully,
but to increase the effect even further,
you should 'write it down'.

You write your goal on paper every day.

See the goal with your eyes,
say it with your mouth,
hear it with your ears,
and write it with your hand.

In short, by recognizing it using your five senses,
you can input the goal into your brain
more firmly.

By the way, in my case,
writing it every day is a hassle,
so I make it a point to write down
'my goal and what I should do now'
on paper about once a week.

By doing that,
not only do you reaffirm your goal,
but your short-term tasks also become clear,
so your motivation and drive will overflow ^^

・Post your goal where you can see it
・Read your goal aloud once a day
・Write down your goal and actions once a week

I recommend this ^^
