Mini Habits Chapter Summary

In the nonfiction book, Deep Work, Cal Newport persists to convince the reader of the significance of “deep work” and the pollution coming from “shallow work” in today’s evolving economy. In order to begin instructing on how to incorporate deep work into our daily lives, Cal Newport first proves his credibility by pointing out how famous people in today’s society are thriving. By spotlighting numerous people like Bill Gates, Carl Jung, Woody Allen, and even himself , Newport demonstrates the obvious difference and magnitude of the effect isolation from the noisy outside crowd can achieve. In each scenario, every person is greatly benefitted from some form of isolation from distractions or deep work.

In the book Drive by Daniel Pink, argues that carrots and sticks (motivation 2.0) don’t work anymore, we have inhale psychological need for autonomy, mastery, and purpose (motivation 3.0). Motivation 1.0 was about survival, and in motivation 2.0 was built around external rewards and punishments. For instance, it has three incompatibility problems with our modern world how we organize what we do because we are intrinsically not only extrinsically motivated. Also thinks about what we do because economists are finally realizing that we are full-fledge human beings. In addition, most important how we do what we do because work is often creative and interesting rather than boring.

Determination are the wheels that keep us moving forward. Even if a wheel goes flat, we can reinflate it to reach our goal. Perseverance throughout life is necessary because persistence impacts one’s success and diligent efforts. To begin with, endurance promotes accomplishments in the pursuit of personal goals.

Like an assignment or presentation which makes me so nervous I will think of the punishment which will result in a bad grade and since I don’t want a bad grade I will push myself to do it so that I don’t fail. Pink suggest that Motivation 2.0 may still work in some cases but not all and that’s where the bugs are in that operation system (31). I agree with Pink since I’ve already encountered some situations that require Type X behavior which is led by Motivation 2.0 and also some Type I behavior which is based of Motivation

The Tuskegee syphilis experiment was an infamous that study the natural progression of untreated syphilis through African American men. These people were told that if they participate in this experiment they would receive free health care from the U.S. government. Around 400 men or 399 exact had syphilis while the remaining 200 didn’t have the disease, a total of 600 men were enrolled in the study. However, later on those who was infected wasn’t told that they had it, neither was he treated with penicillin which later on became the treatment. Due to this reason many of the men that participated in this experimented passed away due to syphilis.

I’m a person that is constantly doing something. Whether it’s marching band or working at Kumon, nothing satisfies me more than getting things done. I’ve been this way for as long as I can remember. To me, I can’t will myself to be stuck doing nothing unless I’m sleeping or eating- it just isn’t possible. Although it’s a trait that some may not admire, it’s something I appreciate in the plethora of my personality traits.

Group A: "You don’t know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice" ~ Bob Marley This quote is an intrinsic motivation because it talks about the internal and the behaviors within yourself. The meaning of this quote is that it takes a situation to see how strong you really are, problems that you will push you to your breaking points where you will not know how to handle the problem. That is why you will find the strength that you will need to handle that problem.

Individuals with high PWE remained intrinsically motivated regardless of receiving positive or negative feedback, and individuals with low PWE spent more free time with the task after receiving negative feedback, indicating a fear of failure. These results build on the previous study and also suggest that individuals with high PWE rely more on internal, intrinsic factors to measure success and remain motivated, rather than external, extrinsic factors such as feedback from peers or

Wolf proposes the sane deep-self view states that for an individual to be morally responsible for some action they have committed, if and only if (1) this individual is able to control that action by their desires, as well as such desires are governed by their deep selves, and (2) the individual’s deep self is sane. Consequently, Wolf’s proposal evidently proves why JoJo cannot be held responsible for his actions committed. Hence, JoJo is an insane individual. For one to be considered sane, Wolf claims one must have an idea of what one is doing and to have beliefs/values that correctly correspond with the way the state of the world is. JoJo’s beliefs and values essentially do not match up with how the state of the world is and thus he is considered insane and is suffering

In my 7 habits profile, I discussed wanting to work on two habits for specific reasons. The two habits that I talked about working on are my P/PC balance, and habit three. I still want to work on these because they are important to my physical and mental wellbeing, which are both very important to me. I still want to take action on both of these because improving my health and having a healthy life is important to me. There are many benefits to having a healthy mind, including better relationships with most people, better mindsets and healthier body, and better impressions on people which could help with job interviews.

For this reason, don 't keep yourself in a constant state of willpower depletion. The president of the United States wears the same suit every day, because he doesn 't want to deplete his willpower making choices on what to wear or what to eat. Vital decision-making is best left for more pressing matters. Charles Duhigg author of The Power Of Habit affirms, "Willpower isn 't just a skill. It 's a muscle, like the muscles in your arms or legs, and it gets tired as it works harder, so there 's less power left over for other things."

Context Motivation is regarded to be an important tool that can be utilized in accomplishing a given task. However, lack of motivation could result in inability to accomplish the task of poor performance. In this regard, it is worth noting that there are various factors that contribute to lack of motivation among individuals. Additionally, while an individual can be motivated at other times, some circumstances can make him or her to lack motivation. This reminds me of the time when we were doing group work that I realized that most of my group members were not motivated to do the assignment.
