1. Getting Stuck in an Unhealthy Habit
Loop Can Reduce Your Creativity
Banner: What is The Habit Loop?
Once you get into a routine, falling back out of it is easier. Having habits can be healthy and
unhealthy, and it is a powerful tool to increase productivity and performance at work and
even in personal life. Bad habits can ruin your career, while good habits can change your life
drastically for the better. If these lines resonate with you, you will understand that you might
have some good and bad habits. You’ve been trying to change the bad habits for some time
but are not motivated. The habit loop is a framework that describes your thinking process,
how it is formed, and how it can destroy many other habits. There are three parts of this loop
that Charles Duhigg first introduced.
1. The cue – This part is mainly what dictates your behavior. The cues can take a lot of
forms depending on location, people around you, or the action. In many cases, it is
also emotional makeup that distinguishes cues.
2. The routine – This is how a habit becomes a part of your behavior. For example, you
wake up every morning and drink a glass of water. The glass of water has become part
of the morning and daily routine.
3. The reward – This is the satisfaction that you get out of performing the daily routine.
It is like making dopamine or reducing stress by following a routine.

you can maneuver around them and develop new habits more conducive to your professional
