Atomic Habits day 102

PRIME THE ENVIRONMENT FOR FUTURE USE

Oswald Nuckols is an IT developer from Natchez, Mississippi. He is

also someone who understands the power of priming his environment.

Nuckols dialed in his cleaning habits by following a strategy he

refers to as “resetting the room.” For instance, when he finishes

watching television, he places the remote back on the TV stand,

arranges the pillows on the couch, and folds the blanket. When he

leaves his car, he throws any trash away. Whenever he takes a shower,

he wipes down the toilet while the shower is warming up. (As he notes,

the “perfect time to clean the toilet is right before you wash yourself in

the shower anyway.”) The purpose of resetting each room is not simply

to clean up after the last action, but to prepare for the next action.

“When I walk into a room everything is in its right place,” Nuckols

wrote. “Because I do this every day in every room, stuff always stays in

good shape. . . . People think I work hard but I’m actually really lazy.

I’m just proactively lazy. It gives you so much time back.”

Whenever you organize a space for its intended purpose, you are

priming it to make the next action easy. For instance, my wife keeps a

box of greeting cards that are presorted by occasion—birthday,

sympathy, wedding, graduation, and more. Whenever necessary, she

grabs an appropriate card and sends it off. She is incredibly good at

remembering to send cards because she has reduced the friction of

doing so. For years, I was the opposite. Someone would have a baby

and I would think, “I should send a card.” But then weeks would pass

and by the time I remembered to pick one up at the store, it was too

late. The habit wasn’t easy.

There are many ways to prime your environment so it’s ready for

immediate use. If you want to cook a healthy breakfast, place the skillet

on the stove, set the cooking spray on the counter, and lay out any

plates and utensils you’ll need the night before. When you wake up,

making breakfast will be easy.
