Q: How much of our daily activities are influenced by habits? A:

Most of the choices we make each day may feel like the products of well-considered decision making, buttheyre not. Theyre habits. One paper published by a Duke University researcher in 2006 found that more than 40 percent of the actions people performed each day werent actual decisions, but habits. And though each habit has relatively little impact on its own, over time, the meals we order, what we say to our kids each night, whether we save or spend, how often we exercise and so on: they all have enormous influence on our health, productivity, financial security and happiness. Think about when you woke up this morning. What did you do first? Did you hop in the shower, check your email or grab a donut from the kitchen counter? Did you brush your teeth before or after you toweled off? Which route did you drive to work? salad or hamburger for lunc h? When you got home, did you put on your sneakers and go for a run, orpour yourself a drink and eat dinner in front of the TV? All of those decisions werent really choices at all. They were habits.

By harnessing this new science, we can transform our lives. Brooklyn, NY
