#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.
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

2:23 PM | kimherb | Thank you so much! Love it! #guildchat https://t.co/A8KdJK2uzm |
2:23 PM | stuartkellynz | @DonaldClark #guildchat Agree. When PD is one way in terms of transmission, there’s no learning, engagement, ownership. |
2:23 PM | britz | A3. I’d like to see the habit of competition for resources, attention, etc replaced by collaboration and sharing #guildchat |
2:23 PM | LnDDave | A3) habit to break? the instinct to default to every learning need with “we need to build a course” #GuildChat |

2:32 PM | DonaldClark | A4 #GuildChat my epiphany was realising that social contructivism was bunkum & I avoided collaborative events, esp meetings |
2:33 PM | GarrettMesser | A5) higher efficiency and productivity #guildchat |
2:33 PM | stuartkellynz | @reneebphoenix #guildchat Good point. We set a maximum time of 30mins, all items discussed had to be on agenda. Made people value meetings. |

2:33 PM | tomspiglanin | A5) Positive prof habits lead to positive working environment: trust, transparency, productivity. #guildchat |

2:34 PM | CRobinsonKeys | A5) Improved productivity, greater engagement #guildchat |
2:34 PM | britz | A5. When people can habitually do positive, productive actions there is less need for reminders, training, etc #guildchat |
2:34 PM | DonaldClark | A5 #guildChat Productivity issue: Habit is the enormous flywheel of the workplace – should be exercised until securely rooted |
2:34 PM | billbollenbach | “@britz: RT @eLearningGuild Q5. more gets done and a greater level of teamwork due to shared practices #GuildChat” |
2:34 PM | urbie | #GuildChat A5 I been in one or three orgs where culture stifled creativity, innovation, sharing. So who sets the standard? |
2:34 PM | stuartkellynz | @MelMilloway #guildchat In schools, greater collaboration, dedication to the “cause” and greater focus on student needs (learning, success). |
2:34 PM | stuartkellynz | @DonaldClark #guildchat Well put! |
2:34 PM | urbie | #GuildChat A5 I guess the benefits are less friction? But i think it comes at the expense of inner (in the person) turmoil. #justsayin |
2:34 PM | learningsnacks | A5) increased productivity, synergy, ability to adapt #GuildChat https://t.co/dD6VMIIIdY |
2:35 PM | stuartkellynz | @urbie #guildchat Good question. Has to be a collective responsibility but led from the top! |

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 |

2:40 PM | billbollenbach | @urbie true that! change is so fast… Has to be basic common sense human values #kindness #guildchat |
2:40 PM | tomspiglanin | Agree @LnDDave about the Apple Watch. Interesting the new habits form naturally, then things feel wrong if you’re not wearing it #guildchat |
2:40 PM | LnDDave | RT @eLearningGuild: Q6. Is continuous learning a habit? If not, how can it be made to be? #GuildChat |
2:40 PM | stuartkellynz | @eLearningGuild #guildchat Can only become a habit, “natural” if it ultimately benefits you going forward. Practice makes perfect! |
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 |

2:41 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 | 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 |

2:43 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 | 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 | 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 | stuartkellynz | @eLearningGuild #guildchat A7 Role model desired habits, question existing actions, philosophies and support and resource new desires. |

2:47 PM | britz | A7. First, ones habits need to be made visible to them. #guildchat |
2:47 PM | billbollenbach | @eLearningGuild Q7 bring them into vision casting discussions – take a risk that things might not be “your idea”, drop guard #guildchat |

2:51 PM | DonaldClark | A7 #GuildChat Teach ‘habits’ not courses. Scrap one-off events for habitual action. |
2:51 PM | urbie | #GuildChat A7 Afterwards I’ll be sharing and modeling like a mad-person. |
2:51 PM | stuartkellynz | @CRobinsonKeys #guildchat I agree Role-model through actions over words. |

2:51 PM | learningsnacks | @CRobinsonKeys Tottaly! They need to be the first to champion and promote, if not why the bother is what people usually think #GuildChat |
2:51 PM | sharipobjecky | A7 #GuildChat Yes! Model the behavior, use incremental motivators, create on the learning edge |
2:51 PM | usablelearning | @eLearningGuild It’s worth looking at @bjfogg’s work on habits, too http://t.co/5XlcKWn969 #GuildChat |

2:52 PM | stuartkellynz | @eLearningGuild #guildchat Should habit development be part of teacher’s formal professional learning? |
2:53 PM | urbie | #GuildChat A7 Way it is now we have individual development plans (IDPs) but dunno if they’re leveraged to help the team as a whole? So that. |

2:53 PM | VNyamse | What are the affordances of an artifact that creates habits for a particular activity @usablelearning #GuildChat |
2:53 PM | DonaldClark | A7 #GuildChat 7 habits of effective learners- habitual learning http://t.co/DasIWgciDd |
2:53 PM | CRobinsonKeys | Exactly @stuartkellynz Changes in organizations can come from grassroots, but are only successful when adopted by the leadership. #guildchat |
2:53 PM | tomspiglanin | How do we (and others) actually recognize when habits are getting in our way, @usablelearning ? #guildchat |
2:53 PM | britz | @usablelearning do u think workplace culture is really habits? How we treat each other, communicate, broker power? #guildchat |
2:54 PM | GarrettMesser | Any tools, apps, technique suggestions for habit change? #guildchat |
2:54 PM | mariawidmer | @usablelearning #GuildChat yes! as a Gen Ed teacher, loved part in yr book about reaching those for whom learning is scary, uncomfortable. |
2:54 PM | MelMilloway | Has anyone used https://t.co/psMXLGEq39 It is where you motivate yourself to do things! #GuildChat http://t.co/wVFNb80yQT |

2:55 PM | stuartkellynz | @reneebphoenix @britz #guildchat Renee I like to think that all educators are simultaneously teachers, learners, experts, newbies! |
2:55 PM | learningsnacks | @MelMilloway Is that like Trello but more cheerful? #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 |
2:56 PM | MelMilloway | @learningsnacks LOL yah and you can create a character & earn things for your character like weapons. #GuildChat http://t.co/m3k64CsDy8 |
2:56 PM | usablelearning | A lot more of it than we realize. Identifying what needs to be habitual is a good place to start #GuildChat https://t.co/xZcOghSKAP |
2:56 PM | learningsnacks | @urbie I would love that. Most events happen outside Europe. #GuildChat |
2:56 PM | urbie | @usablelearning What are we (L&D) afraid of? What makes it hard to not change habits? #GuildChat |

2:57 PM | CRobinsonKeys | Continuous learning isn’t just about our work or careers,its about our life. Growing as a person is ultimately only the end goal #guildchat |
2:57 PM | learningsnacks | @MelMilloway niiiice! I think I’ll look into that :) #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 |

2:59 PM | britz | @MrMiNiKi Thanks for joining in Nick. Hope to see you again here #guildchat |
2:59 PM | stuartkellynz | @usablelearning #guildchat Good point. If our formative assessment is robust, is there a need for summative, artificial assessment? |

3:01 PM | learningsnacks | @MelMilloway true, probably works best with teams, but still very cool idea #GuildChat |

3:01 PM | usablelearning | @stuartkellynz even video games do better with playtesting that most learning interventions #GuildChat |
3:01 PM | DonaldClark | #guildchat Old theories lead to old habits- learning styles, learning objectives at start of courses, Maslow, Gagne, Kirkpatrick etc etc etc |
3:01 PM | usablelearning | YES. THAT. #GuildChat https://t.co/8DES3C8tnX |
