Hey.

Well done for completing yet another module.

You're really putting a lot of these belts on,

you know, like at the very beginning you were like a white belt when you first completed your first module,

when you built the first things, when you built your first app, and now you're kind of getting on like

towards the blue purplish sort of belts now.

So I wanted to talk about.

So I want to talk about another sort of thing that helps with habit building.

And it's this idea of creating a cue for your habit.

So if your habit it is say, that you wanted to create.

So if the habit that you wanted to create was say, I don't know, do 50 press ups every day, or go to the gym

every day, or in our case learning to code every day, then it really helps when you have a cue that you

tag your habit onto.

So what do I mean by that?

Let's say that you already have a habit, right?

You probably have loads of them.

For me it could be, like, brushing my teeth in the mornings.

So when I've tagged on this new habit I'm trying to form, like at the end of my existing habit,

it makes it that much easier to do that thing that I want to do.

So for example I had a habit that I was trying to form which is to meditate for 20 minutes every morning

and I never really managed to get around to doing it.

There was always something in the way, until I started saying, you know what,

every single time, every morning after I brush my teeth, I am just going to go and sit down and meditate

for 20 minutes.

Nothing else.

And once I started doing that it was like as if brushing my teeth was now this trigger or this cue for

this other habit and because already I brush my teeth every day,

I hope you do too, then that habit kind of like just allows the next habit to build a little bit easier.

So try this out.

See if you already have a habit and then try to do just half an hour of coding or an hour of coding

afterwards and see if that helps you get into the groove a little bit easier.

And let me know your results.

But most importantly you've heard me say it.

You can hear me say it again.

Keep going, keep going.

I'm here for you cheering you on and I think you're great.

I think you're doing fantastic.

So keep going.
