These devices help control your actions by limiting your current options.<\/p>\n<p>A famous example James Clear shares is that of French author Victor Hugo. Faced with a looming deadline, Hugo instructed his assistant to lock away all of his clothes, leaving him with only a large shawl to wear.<\/p>\n<p>Unable to leave the house, Hugo had no choice but to focus on his writing, resulting in the successful completion of his classic, <em>The Hunchback of Notre Dame<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>This tactic worked because it made the bad habit\u2014procrastination\u2014impossible. Commitment devices force you to make decisions that shape future behavior, removing the temptation to stray from your goals.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"examples_of_commitment_devices\"><\/span>Examples of Commitment Devices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Commitment devices come in many forms and can be applied to various areas of life. Here are just a few examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Health:<\/strong> Set up automatic prescription refills to ensure you&#8217;re always on track with your medication.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Finances:<\/strong> Automate retirement savings through a payroll deduction to ensure consistent contributions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Productivity:<\/strong> Use website blockers to limit time spent on distracting sites like social media.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13198 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Image-2-a-simplified-circuit-board-symbolizing-technology-connectivity-and-efficiency.-The.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1792\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Image-2-a-simplified-circuit-board-symbolizing-technology-connectivity-and-efficiency.-The.webp 1792w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Image-2-a-simplified-circuit-board-symbolizing-technology-connectivity-and-efficiency.-The-300x171.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Image-2-a-simplified-circuit-board-symbolizing-technology-connectivity-and-efficiency.-The-1024x585.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Image-2-a-simplified-circuit-board-symbolizing-technology-connectivity-and-efficiency.-The-768x439.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Image-2-a-simplified-circuit-board-symbolizing-technology-connectivity-and-efficiency.-The-1536x878.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"leverage_technology_to_automate_good_habits\"><\/span>Leverage Technology to Automate Good Habits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Automation is another key concept Clear discusses. By using technology to handle repetitive tasks, you can free up mental space to focus on more meaningful activities. Technology simplifies behaviors, making them painless and automatic.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Teamly software is designed to automate team tasks, allowing you to streamline your workflows and reduce the burden of managing individual assignments. Imagine how much easier it would be to develop good work habits if the routine, everyday tasks were automated for you.<\/p>\n<p>Clear also warns that while technology can be used to automate good habits, it can just as easily enable bad ones.<\/p>\n<p>Services like Netflix automatically cue up the next episode, making it easier to binge-watch than to stop. Similarly, social media platforms are engineered to keep users engaged, leading to time wasted on unproductive activities. It&#8217;s important to be mindful of how technology can be a double-edged sword, and to use it to support, rather than undermine, your goals.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"one-time_actions_with_lasting_impact\"><\/span>One-Time Actions with Lasting Impact<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another powerful strategy Clear mentions is taking one-time actions that set you up for long-term success. These are small, simple decisions that deliver ongoing returns. For instance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Buy a water filter to improve your hydration habits without thinking about it.<\/li>\n<li>Set up automatic bill pay to ensure your finances stay in order without constant oversight.<\/li>\n<li>Purchase blackout curtains to improve your sleep quality effortlessly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13199 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Image-3-a-seedling-or-sprout-growing-from-the-ground-symbolizing-growth-and-long-term-impact.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1792\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Image-3-a-seedling-or-sprout-growing-from-the-ground-symbolizing-growth-and-long-term-impact.webp 1792w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Image-3-a-seedling-or-sprout-growing-from-the-ground-symbolizing-growth-and-long-term-impact-300x171.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Image-3-a-seedling-or-sprout-growing-from-the-ground-symbolizing-growth-and-long-term-impact-1024x585.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Image-3-a-seedling-or-sprout-growing-from-the-ground-symbolizing-growth-and-long-term-impact-768x439.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Image-3-a-seedling-or-sprout-growing-from-the-ground-symbolizing-growth-and-long-term-impact-1536x878.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"increase_friction_for_bad_habits\"><\/span>Increase Friction for Bad Habits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The flip side of making good habits easy is making bad habits difficult. Clear explains that the best way to break a bad habit is to increase the friction involved in engaging with it.<\/p>\n<p>The more inconvenient it is to perform the habit, the less likely you are to do it. For instance, if you want to cut back on fast food, don\u2019t keep cash or a credit card handy when you&#8217;re out. The extra step of having to retrieve it will act as a barrier to indulging in the habit.<\/p>\n<p>Clear&#8217;s own example of increasing friction came from his experiment with social media.<\/p>\n<p>He had his assistant reset the passwords to his accounts every Monday, effectively locking him out for the week. On Friday, his assistant would send him the new passwords, but by that point, the habit of checking social media had been interrupted.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, he found that the urge to engage with these platforms diminished because the mental &#8220;candy&#8221; had been removed. The friction introduced by this commitment device helped Clear break the cycle of distraction and focus on more meaningful tasks.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13200 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Image-4-a-roadblock-or-barrier-symbolizing-an-obstacle-to-bad-habits.-The-image-should-use-s.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1792\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Image-4-a-roadblock-or-barrier-symbolizing-an-obstacle-to-bad-habits.-The-image-should-use-s.webp 1792w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Image-4-a-roadblock-or-barrier-symbolizing-an-obstacle-to-bad-habits.-The-image-should-use-s-300x171.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Image-4-a-roadblock-or-barrier-symbolizing-an-obstacle-to-bad-habits.-The-image-should-use-s-1024x585.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Image-4-a-roadblock-or-barrier-symbolizing-an-obstacle-to-bad-habits.-The-image-should-use-s-768x439.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Image-4-a-roadblock-or-barrier-symbolizing-an-obstacle-to-bad-habits.-The-image-should-use-s-1536x878.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"make_good_habits_inevitable\"><\/span>Make Good Habits Inevitable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ultimately, the goal is to create an environment where good habits are inevitable, and bad habits are nearly impossible.<\/p>\n<p>Automation, one-time actions, and commitment devices are the tools that help you achieve this.
