How To Build A New Habit In Seconds - Duration: 3:47.
In his book the happiness advantage happiness researcher Shana core
discusses how we wanted to make practicing guitar a daily habit
however he encountered a problem one that plagues everyone
he couldn't motivate himself to practice no matter how much he tried to motivate
himself his guitar Romanian is covered with the guitar just a few steps away
Shawn still couldn't push himself to pick up the instrument so why was he so
hesitant to start practicing of course problem was a common one if you want to
change a habit in the long term in the beginning you have to rely on willpower
but willpower is a finite resource and can't be relied upon in other words the
more decisions you have to make on a daily basis the more likely you are to
experience what psychologists call decision fatigue once you experience
decision fatigue improving habits especially at the end of a stressful day
becomes less of a priority habitual negative behaviors like forgoing the gym
in favor of easier ones like watching television become routine
it becomes an almost inescapable rut given a choice disempowering habits
almost always trump behaviors that stretch us they offer us a path of least
resistance and when regularly forged become the easier choice but what if we
had a tool to reshape that path entirely a tool that made positive habits more
accessible what you need to focus on a common problem people have with changing
their habits is learning how to start if you think of a habit you tend to think
of the habit in its entirety all habits are comprised of multiple steps tiny
actions required to necessitate it and thinking about it is enough to overwhelm
anyone for example when you think about going to the gym you don't focus on the
routine part of the hobbit' loop ie exercising you focus on everything you
need to do to do the hobbit' you think about packing your gym bag traveling to
the gym changing into your gym clothes warming up exercising showering warming
down and traveling home that's a lot of things to think about but to ease into a
new habit you shouldn't picture the task in its entirety simply focus on the
first action you need to take in my case when going to the gym I
we focus on picking up my gym bag which is placed by my front door however what
if we redirected our focus from not only what we needed to do to start our habits
but also how we could make that start as easy as possible the power of activation
energy activation energy as a core explains is that spark you need to start
in physics activation energy is the initial spark needed to catalyze
reaction the same energy both physical and mental is needed of people to
overcome inertia and kickstart a positive habit in a course example he
realized that having to remove his guitar from his closet to practice
increase the effort he needed to practice even if that effort only cost
him an extra 20 seconds those 20 seconds meant the difference between doing his
habit and not he came to a resolution put his guitar in the center of his
apartment guess what happened he practiced guitar for 21 days straight
without exception a court called this the twenty second rule in his own words
lowering the barrier to change by just twenty seconds was all it took to help
me form a new habit in conclusion in order to adopt new habits you must avoid
relying on willpower and instead restrict the activation energy to start
up to a maximum of twenty seconds which will allow your mind to see the activity
as being easier to adopt allowing you to form a solid habit for the future thanks

How To Build A PORTFOLIO WEBSITE In Under 10 Minutes With Format - Duration: 8:30.
format isn't easy and a great way to set up an online graphic design portfolio
and today I'm going to walk you through step-by-step on how to use format to
make your very own portfolio website with ease but first let's take a quick
look at some existing websites that customers of format have made themselves
now format is a web builder made by creatives for creatives and here is a
design and as utilized format for the website so as you can see the site looks
clean and a pretty awesome display in this designers work with a neat
interface there is a menu bar at the top and this designer has their work
orientated in a drop-down menu in different categories our really cool
function is that when you select one of the projects to view it you can then
view all of the projects in a toggle kind of slider menu but let's jump into
how to exactly use formats for your very important for your website and if you
click the link in description box below you have a two week free trial and then
the 25% discount thereafter on the upgraded version it does help to have an
online portfolio away from social media as it does look more professional and
format is fairly easy to use and also to set up in a quick amount of time
so after signing up the first thing that we need to do is to select a theme for
our website as you can see here they're actually quite a nice amount of themes
provided by formats and they all look pretty awesome and also you can actually
preview the mobile versions too but once you've selected a theme from the
available choices you can then see the progress of your website creation in the
dashboard here we can now go ahead and begin to customize the actual design of
our website in the format web builder so here is my template layout ready to be
customized and on the left hand side you notice a tool bar
so here are such things like the ability to change your theme customizing the
color and a typography on your website and even a code editor too and on the
far left you have the pages section a dashboard which you've just come from
and also a means to set up a shop and a blog on your website we're going to be
taking a look at these things a little bit later let's quickly take a look at
typography on my website so I can choose the font and the size for specific areas
on my website and there was a nice amount of fun to choose from so as you
can see there are header text options body text options and also base font
choices to actually add your work in a portfolio page you can head into the
gallery's page here in the pages menu but first we're asked to add a sample
page which essentially just makes life easier for us because there's a kind of
a template for the page layouts now you're able to upload your work and
images from your computer or Dropbox and this is actually the header for my
gallery page class width now anyway
and don't forget to save your changes as you go before Matt does actually remind
you from time to time to save your changes which really does help so let's
head back into the dashboard real quick to track our progress the fifth step is
to edit the contact page and format tells us how important a contact page is
because as a graphic designer working online we really do need a kind of
contact between customers and potential clients so as of now we have a very
bland and a basic contact page with a contact form below but like we did
earlier for the gallery's page we can add a template on this page to again the
format provides us with a detail of choices for the contact page so choose
one of them and then add it to your website you've got placeholder images
and sections and all we need to do is to click and edit the imagery and the text
it's just that simple
I'm now on my about page and editing the header image you can zoom in and out
like so and also rearrange the image around like I'm doing here if you want
to make your pages more detailed and intricate you can add a new section
below we can add text images forms and even videos and I think it'd be really
neat to have a video embedded onto my up out page what I need to do is type in
the URL and I'm bingo I've added a video on my about page with ease so here I'm
in the pages menu and you can see that I've got three pages on the website
currently but as heading to my gallery's page and edit the logo header because I
feel that Tom text is too bland and boring if you click the logo here we can
change it like so we have two choices open to us either using a text logo or
an actual image logo that we upload from our computer so once uploaded you can
adjust its size like I'm doing here and in the menu below we can even change the
icon of our website that's going to be shown in the toolbar search of a browser
also here we can check the review of the website on both mobile and desktop which
is always handy to do whilst you're working through your website now I've
got a couple more neat things to show you
in today's video and that is firstly if you want to add a new page you can do
that here you actually have quite a lot of options open to you in adding content
and pages on formats so it could add a page dedicated to my YouTube videos as
example and like before we can use a template of placeholder content or you
can do it from scratch which gives us more control
so lastly here on the left that I mentioned earlier we had the option to
add a store and even to add a blog on our website but let's take a quick look
at the store option you can then give a name to your store and formats going to
integrate it into your website in a matter of seconds then you can simply
connect your PayPal account to format and that's your store from here it's
just the case of adding in your products at descriptions the imagery and then
start selling this is a neat function that every design portfolio you can make
use of heading back into the dashboard we can see the last point in the list is
to connect to the experts of formats this is where you can ask questions and
saw some help too so finally let's take a look at my home page now I've got the
tool bar in the top right corner as well as my social media icons and the links
are there too I've gone for a chic minimal black
layout for my website as I scroll down you can see that I've embedded a YouTube
video trailer on my websites home page
now this is cool because people can play a right away but also they can click the
YouTube logo and be directed to my youtube channel
so as you can see there's a banner at the top and as I scroll downwards is
slowly fades into the background and I think this is a really neat looking
effect my work is displayed below and people
can click onto the image they want to view and then they're going to be taken
for a closer look scrolling through your work is really easy too so there is
today's video on how you can design an awesome portfolio website with format
with ease check the links in description box below for a two-week free trial and
also a 25% discount thereafter have a great day everybody
and until next time design your future today peace
