#GuildChat for 07/24/15: Designing for Habit with Guest Julie Dirksen

Our next #GuildChat takes place Friday, July 24th at 11am PT / 2pm ET. Our topic for this week’s chat is Designing for Habit with guest Julie Dirksen.

Did you brush your teeth today?  More likely than not you did and you probably started the brush and moved around your mouth the same exact way you have for years. This is a habit, an automatic almost unconscious behavior of which some believe make up the greater part of our daily activities. Research in this area has been increasing in an effort to understand the make up of habits; triggers, routines and rewards and leverage their power for personal and organizational improvement. 2015-01-09_11-14-16

This week author and consultant Julie Dirksen (@usablelearning) joins us to look closer at habits, how to adopt new ones and change existing ones to improve performance. We’ll have the opportunity to discuss the habit cycle and strategies individuals and Instructional Designers can employ to leverage the power of these routines in the workplace.

Prospective questions:

Q1. Habits are unconscious activities made up of a cycle of a Cue-Routine-Reward. What is one of your personal or professional habit cycles? #GuildChat

Q2. What are some positive work habits you would want to acquire or have others acquire? #GuildChat

Q3. What are some negative workplace habits you would want to see change? #GuildChat

Q4. How have you gone about trying to change a habit? Were you successful? #GuildChat

Q5. What are the benefits to organizations when people have positive professional habits #GuildChat

Q6. Is continuous learning a habit? If not, how can it be made to be? #GuildChat

Q7. Can we help others develop or change workplace habits? If so what should we do? #GuildChat

2:32 PM urbie #GuildChat One habit (dependency) i need to lose: auto-correct. i complain about it all the time but truth is it saves me more than irks me.

2:34 PM stuartkellynz @DonaldClark #guildchat Well put!

2:36 PM LnDDave A4) I actually like the habit-supportive functionality of the Apple Watch. Interesting g to see that evolve. #GuildChat
2:36 PM learningsnacks @MelMilloway And positive habbits should be recognized and nurtured to make others more aware of them and follow #GuildChat
2:37 PM DonaldClark A5 #GuildChat Learning org. Learners must not be coerced into learning but made to feel as if in their own interest & acting from free will
2:37 PM usablelearning @eLearningGuild A5 can have knowledge AND skill AND motivation, and it can still not be a habit -need practice & reinforcement #GuildChat

2:38 PM billbollenbach @urbie A5 maybe – depends on the degree of shared purpose and collaboration #guildchat
2:38 PM urbie #GuildChat A5 Thing is, given pace of change are positive professional habits a good thing? Think of HP person that nixed Woz’s Apple idea?
2:38 PM CRobinsonKeys That has to be the worst @MelMilloway. Meetings should end with action items,deliverables & due dates #guildchat https://t.co/tnGmyeTgN4
2:38 PM urbie RT @LnDDave: A4) I actually like the habit-supportive functionality of the Apple Watch. Interesting g to see that evolve. #GuildChat

2:40 PM PatIngerick A6)  Absolutely!  Like any habit it must start with a conscious choice that provides reward.  Showing others the reward can help #GuildChat
2:40 PM urbie @melmilloway I’m an old guy. HP is (probably always will be) Hewlett-Packard. Still has my HP-35 (world’s 1st scientific calc) #GuildChat
2:40 PM tomspiglanin RT @eLearningGuild Q6. Is continuous learning a habit? If not, how can it be made to be? #GuildChat

2:41 PM billbollenbach @CRobinsonKeys @MelMilloway very tough to get everyone on same page.  Meeting ends because everyone has to go to another meeting #GuildChat

2:41 PM MelMilloway A6 YES. It’s a habit & can be broken, if I go on vacation & DC I need to pick up where I was or I stop. #guildchat https://t.co/vtmzaaOfTg

2:41 PM britz RT @eLearningGuild: Q6. Is continuous learning a habit? If not, how can it be made to be? #GuildChat
2:41 PM LnDDave A6) I don’t think continuous learning is itself a habit; I think it’s more the combination of various habits. #GuildChat
2:41 PM tomspiglanin A6) I’m not sure I call continuous learning a habit as much as an attitude of always striving to do better, to excel, to learn #guildchat
2:41 PM urbie @billbollenbach Maybe for me the pendulum has swung too far the other way? I used to keep things close to my chest. No more. #GuildChat
2:41 PM learningsnacks A6) it wasn’t for me a few years ago. Now it is and boy how I feel I’ve grown! :) #GuildChat https://t.co/a5OiNzrJRm

2:43 PM sharipobjecky A6: #GuildChat not a habit but a mindset
2:43 PM tomspiglanin A6) Regardless, continuous learning is not signing up for courses, it’s learning from every opportunity #guildchat
2:43 PM urbie #GuildChat A6 Continuous (connected) learning should be a habit. Like most things (it seems) hitting a speed bump (job loss) kick-starts it.
2:43 PM DonaldClark A6 #GuildChat when learning becomes H-learning it no longer seems like ‘learning’ – it becomes invisible – I like that
2:43 PM reneebphoenix RT @britz: Imagine if Working Out Loud was habitual. Just imagine what that could do for orgs and individuals alike. #guildchat #edtechSN
2:43 PM stuartkellynz @tomspiglanin #guildchat I agree. Success is often a combination of doing a lot of little things really well and repetitively.
2:43 PM mariawidmer @urbie #GuildChat good Q! I also wonder how orgs can model that standard and help w habit building. Incentives? Carrot or stick?
2:43 PM MrMiNiKi A5 Do our positive habits exist more outside work? Do we struggle to practice them at work? If so, why is that? #guildchat
2:43 PM GarrettMesser A6) quit telling kids they just have to get through college to be successful, learning doesn’t stop after college #guildchat

2:44 PM CRobinsonKeys A6 Continuous learning has to be a cornerstone of an organizations strategic direction. #guildchat
2:44 PM LnDDave I use it to remind me to stand constantly, and the write & read regularly. #guildchat https://t.co/VK5bXULhYt
2:44 PM billbollenbach @LnDDave no doubt – humans are doing “continuous learning” – intentionality of it another story – comes through wholistic sense #guildchat
2:44 PM stuartkellynz @MrMiNiKi #guildchat Good q. Pressure to conform maybe? Ideally our habits are the same in and outside of school.
2:44 PM britz @LnDDave I agree it’s not habitual. However with the right mindset/meta-cognition one could make it automatic, deliberate  #guildchat
2:44 PM urbie #GuildChat A6 Seems like it’s always been let’s go to this external ($$$) conference. It took 1x to convince me.
2:44 PM MelMilloway A6 Learning is like exercising. We might walk to work, if we don’t run too then we won’t be as healthy. Must be intentional too #GuildChat
2:45 PM VNyamse A6) The effect of motivation (intrinsic or extrinsic) on learning should be considered when designing for continuous learning #GuildChat

2:46 PM learningsnacks A6) I think people also need the time to promote learning has a habbit #GuildChat
2:46 PM mariawidmer @billbollenbach @britz #GuildChat watching experts Work Out Loud has been SO helpful for me as I start out in this field.
2:46 PM LnDDave RT @eLearningGuild: Q7. Can we help others develop or change workplace habits? If so what should we do? #GuildChat

2:46 PM AustinIuliano Not sure what the questions are. But mindset and beliefs are 90% of the game! #guildchat
2:46 PM urbie @mariawidmer Probably a little of both. During tough/rough patches slow n steady wins out. Other times tho.. maybe inertia? #GuildChat

2:55 PM usablelearning @VNyamse Not to be squirrelly, but It Depends. Still, looking for defaults or removing barriers helps #GuildChat
2:55 PM urbie #GuildChat Could we model continuous connected learning by using Periscope & Meerkat to stream events we go to? Snippets anyway +
2:55 PM stuartkellynz @CRobinsonKeys #guildchat Well put. The change doesn’t have to come from the top but does need to be explicitly supported!
2:56 PM urbie #GuildChat I think it’d help get conversations started with the folks back home.
2:56 PM britz Q. How can L&D best leverage the power of organizational and individual habits? cc @usablelearning #guildchat

2:57 PM usablelearning I suspect having somebody else help – it’s hard to see your unconscious habits. #GuildChat https://t.co/X8KKiBw4fp
2:58 PM MelMilloway @learningsnacks I tried but I didn’t have a team, so I had no one to get cooler stuff than. It’s like a competition in habits. #GuildChat
