Tailor habits to suit your nature
from Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives by Gretchen Rubin
How to Apply This
- Determine your Tendency.
Take the Four Tendencies quiz online or reflect on your response to expectations to determine your Tendency. Upholders meet both inner and outer expectations; Questioners question both; Obligers meet outer but struggle with inner expectations; and Rebels resist both inner and outer expectations. - Comprehend Your Tendency.
Once you have identified your Tendency, take the time to read and understand the description of your Tendency. Consider how it affects your habits and behaviors. - Apply your Tendency to habit formation.
Use the knowledge gained from understanding your Tendency to create habits that work for you. For example, if you're an Obliger, consider enlisting an accountability partner to help you stick to your habits.
