Habits With One Percent Payoffs

It’s relatively easy to break habits when you’re certain they’re bad for you.  It becomes much more difficult, however, to break habits that are negative ninety-nine percent of the time, but occasionally produce positive results.

For example, many people are addicted to Reddit.  For every hundred articles you read there, ninety-nine may be a waste of time.

But, because there’s the one article that may have information applicable to your own life, it’s easy to spend an endless amount of hours mindlessly browsing.

The solution?  Consciously assess the benefits vs time invested for your habits.  If a habit isn’t the best possible use of your time, eliminate it.

And more importantly, consciously fill the void created by the elimination of that habit.  Otherwise you’ll end up with another less than optimal habit.
