Focus on the Habit Cue, not the Behaviour

Topics: Habit

When wanting to create a new habit or get rid of an old one, we might be naturally inclined to focus on the behaviour itself. We think “oh, this is good so I should find a way to make it a habit” or “this is bad so I should find a way to stop doing it”.

However, I have found that our habit building becomes more effective when we focus on the cue that triggers the behaviour, and not the behaviour itself.

<% tp.file.cursor(3) %>A stochastic process with independent increments is a stochastic process where, for any $0<t_1<t_2<\cdots <t_n$ parameters, the variables $X_{t_1},X_{t_2}-X_{t_1},X_{t_3}-X_{t_2},\dots ,X_{t_n}-X_{t_{n-1}}$ are independent.

Examples of stochastic processes with independent increments include homogeneous Poisson processes.
