5 . How to Break Bad Habits
Habits are ways of dealing with issues in your environment. You often do not think about them. James Clear, in his book Atomic Habits, describes a four-step process by which habits are made. These steps are cue (提示), craving (渴望), response, and reward.
A cue is a signal.
James Clear notes that to break bad habits, you need to think about each step in the habit-making process. In the cell phone example, the cue is seeing the cell phone. The craving is the desire or urge to check your phone.
The important thing to remember is that people can change their habits. Habit changes take time.

F.Let’s say you’re always looking up words on your phone |
G.But with patience, planning, and repetition, you can do it |
