Mini Habits
Mini Habits is an applied improv exercise for convergent alignment: it helps participants compare options and move toward a shared decision.
How to run it
- In People Science Teams, decide what individual or People Science Team mini-habits they are going to commit to throughout the gathering!
- Here's the technique Decide on what actions you'd want to take on every day
- Set a "stupid small" goal for each write 50 words, do 1 push-up, etc
- Simply take repeated consistent actions, even extremely small ones, that are in line with the belief you want to create
- $'9$1&(' 251 The technique is, again, very simple Decide on what you want to believe, how you want to feel, or who you want to be
- The idea is to intentionally create "cognitive dissonance"
- You believe yourself to be a procrastinator, but in many small ways, you start to walk and talk and act like a doer
