My worst habit is staying up way to late at night watching UA-cam videos, which is what I am doing right now
you're not *alone* , wish I can do something about it..
Me to
Aichan me too
Same :(
Same, and it can really ruin the next day for me
“like eating late at night”
he says as i’m making my midnight snack
lol
I don't really understand how can you eat at night. It's just doesn't feel natural to me like it's either sleeping or eating. People, how is it possible?
I don't see how eating late at night is a bad habit, unless it affects your sleep.
I sometimes eat at 1 am in the morning.
Grilled cheese?
me: k i need to wash my hands
*BRUSHES TEETH*
me: wtf
ApplePi same and vice versa 😂
so me tho
Thought I was the only one lol
Same
Me : needs water
Me: Washes glass and heads back
Also me : wtf
My bad habits are tearing the skin around my fingernails and watching UA-cam when I should be studying (which I’m doing right now...help)
Morgan Gonin I do that as well as bite my nails, stay up too late, eating my nails ( I know that's gross) and I bite my hand. It often ends up bruised the next day
Morgan Gobin you can do it! Study them books!
Morgan Gobin That’s what I dooooo
I have the same bad habit
OMG! I also tear the skin around my fingernails and it’s awful, my fingers look nasty... I need to stop but I have no willpower
Can't wait to break my meth addiction thanks to a UA-cam video
A habit is different from an addiction.
eternally confused .......it was a joke
@@Lolo-vg2tt oh, okay, i'm a bit dumb sometimes. lol
FBI OPEN UP
Drug addictions aren’t funny....
Honestly, I'm still trying to break my procrastination habit but, after seeing this video I think ill be able to fully break it 😂.
So did it work? xD
Legend has it, she hasn’t procrastinated since
How help me

I have a nasty habbit of skipping ads...

Dude STOP WHAT YOUR DOING NOW! CHANGE YOUR HABIT! SKIPPING ADS IS VERY UNHEALTHY TO YOU! COME ON MAN. YOUR BETTER THAN THIS!
Net Lag that's a good habit
Ssamr
Me: *puts hands in pockets*
Asap Science: Rub your arm or tap your knuckles on your desk.
Me: YOU JUST TOLD ME TO PUT MY HANDS IN MY POCKET
I have a habit of using my phone for hours and regretting it later.
There are apps that lock certain apps on designated times. I found them helpful.
Boomshine Which one are you using?
Boomshine I will also try if it helps me.
vishu priya - I use "Stay Focused" for Android.
Boomshine ok thank you.😀
You can't "break" bad habits. All you can do is create healthy ones, focus on growing those, and eventually they overwhelm the bad habits. A change in self perception must occur to stop a bad habit.
I can't believe how much of my life is out of my conscious thinking.
HELLO MOKEY
Breaking bad habits is simply a game of mindset and discipline. You have to make quitting the bad habit so important to you that you have NO OPTION but to quit. You must deeply prioritize your greatest values to create good habits.
my worst habbit is to watch youtube for hours but i learn a lot from it tho..
ha llo
Same. Same lol
Exactlyy
Metoo but now I've switched to Reddit half the time
Quit for 3 days and its done
Start from now while reading this comment
Trust me ull feel better after doing that abd more in control
I lost much time in past and these days i usdd pc so much for notging so since now i quit again, just use it for productive contrlñed stuff, at least 4 a few days to reconduct behavioir
Take it like an offer u do to yohr futire self
Sometimes we think we learn a lot because we watch some videos like this one. In order to cope with the fact that we've wasted our time, we believe we've learned something. But at the end of the day it was pretty useless, and it was indeed a waste of time, partly. Just get a hobby, practice your strengths or try to learn something that is connected with your goals such as a future job, sports, something you think you're good at or something you enjoy but you know you can use it in real life.
This video is kind of a bad habit of mine, I'm youtube-addicted

Trying to figure out what my cue and rewards are right now, you guys have any idea?
Steffen Jensen your reward is short term happiness. when a video ends you continue watching more youtube videos even though you have nothing to watch that is beneficial. Your brain craves for short term happiness without you even knowing.
For about two years, I had a habit of biting my nails whenever they were long enough for me to bite. It made my nails straight, and I even had issues with ingrown nails a few times. But, I eventually just got to the mindset of - "just don't bite your nails you little shit" and I stopped.
I'm not joking, this is how I did it.
lmao.
“Eating late at night”
He says as i shove mini oreos in my mouth at 1am
Put your hands in your pocket and find some stimulation? Last time I did that I was kicked off the bus
interesting
Morty you idiot
your profile pic matches the comment so well
ty
Haha
-I stay up till 3:00 in the morning
-bite my nails when I'm bored
-get late night snacks
-don't eat breakfast
-eat unhealthy snacks throughout the day
-eat after I brush my teeth (at night)
-procrastinate a lot
-pick at my acne
-always on my phone
Did you just describe my day?
Yes he did
Eating after brushing is not normal?
@@nihalr385 i brush teeth when i wake up amd immediately make breakfast. Bryshing teeth after meal is bad for teeth because of acidity and also i drink coffee wich brushing teeth after coffee is very unhealthy for teeth
@@netabolt6546 yea that's what I'm saying. This guy has "eat after i brush my teeth" as a bad habit. Isn't that a good habit?
A way I use to break a habit is to time yourself to see how long you can go without doing the habit, and every time you do the habit press the "lap" button. You can even set up a reward system so you will try not to do your habit.
I hope this will work (because I didn’t understand the video) I have a bad habit of eating my dried up lip skin ( don’t know why I do it but all it do is hurting me )
@@Cynthia_LU same
Love you guys! Very informative, you two always share great research and insight!
“Nothing is stronger than habit.”
― Ovid
Very true. :(
God is
Been bitting my nails since was very young I hate when people say it’s because I’m nervous. Definitely not why I just do it because I’m use to it. I want to stop though 😩 my boyfriend has prettier nails then me 🙄🤦🏻♀️
Massiel&Ozzie download the app (habitbull) i stopped many bad habits by using this app
Bentrayel Hey! Thank you! 😊
Massiel&Ozzie your welcome
Massiel&Ozzie I have the same problem and it makes me feel so self conscious. In most drugstores you can find this clear nail polish, that you put on your nails. Whenever you start biting your nails the polish releases this disgusting taste in your mouth. It is really helping me stop the biting and it doesn’t cost much. You should give it a try!!
WhatEls D definitely would try it out! I really want to stop lol
I didn't realize this was a new video. I have definitely heard this study before. I'm loving it. By the way! I had seen you two at my place of employment once at a special shop owned by a special Chef in midtown nyc. Hopefully, you two come back this holiday season so a *subscriber* could greet you properly. Not entirely sure why that random memory popped into my head. Appreciating your content for years
Even though, I have heard about this technique a lot, it's the first time I really wanna implement it. Thank you guys for reminding me about this technique.
What about being lazy
Alysa Gregg unfortunately, that’s terminal
Me
It's called Procastination lol.
If I would’ve had science teachers like you two, 15 years ago, I would have loved that class so much :)
Habit is the key to create better self. Love this video 💕
I love their simple and informative videos. They out it in a way that most people can understand.
I don't actually bite my nails, i bite the skin around it. Am i the only one ?
Monty Blue I stopped the nail bitting habit to start bitting my skin.
I do skin as well. For 4. Friggin. Years
I do both
Nope. My girlfriend does it too and it's frustrating to see. XD
Monty Blue I used to and I have a friend who does it
It's so cool seeing all the information I've read from the Power of Habit being put into a visual representation here.
I broke out in itchy spots on my scalp like chicken pox or something and couldn't leave them alone. I keep scratching. There's only a few left but I want to stop scratching off the scabs that are trying to heal.
I think you've given me the thing I need to do it. Awesome. Thank you.
I used to bite my nails a LOT (for 6 years) but the click happened recently after i had to spent some time alone ,without my dad , doing everything on my own for a week. Probably i was too preoccupied to bite my nails so i ended up with long nails and the gratitude i have for my father for helping me (For 18 years) !
Yes! Everyone is capable of breaking bad habits! One of the first parts of moving forward with life and being successful!
happy birthday mitch!!
My “FAVORITE” bad habit is biting my nails and destroying my fingers
Not a problem. When your arms are missing you'll know that you're at the top of your game.
its 3am and i have to study . BaD hAbItS
It's very similar with playing an instrument. When i started playing piano, i have to think and look at each key, 4 years later, i can play with my eyes closed and without even thinking about anything.
Same thing with me. I play loads of instruments, primarily guitar and bass, and after a while it’s just glorified muscle memory.
Lol watching this in the middle of the night when I was supposed to be asleep hours ago. I too like to live dangerously.
How can I stop thinking "you're so dumb" etc? All those bad thoughts about myself... :)
Mrsfreshtilldeath same but "stupid"
Meditation
Go look for a channel called mikkois
That would make it
Help othdrs if this help u
Everytime you catch yourself thinking bad, remember the good things in life my man. If that doesn’t help, well I’m not sure what to do. Either way, good luck.
Replace with nice thoughts about yourself? Or replace with solutions to the reasons why you've initially thought you were "dumb"? Just a thought idk
Well everyone has a voice in their head. Before you talk you dont talk on impulse you say it in your head first.
Me : needs water
Me: Washes glass and heads back
Also me : wtf
dude i actually get that way too often,, it hurts that you have to go all the way back just so you could drink the stupid water
This came out just in time for me to figure out my terrible internet habits. Thanks !
So when i get home from school, i immediately take like a 3 hour nap and this interferes with all my homework and stuff but I can't really help it..what am I supposed to do to stop?
Y-Thien Lam Get a better night's sleep? Set an alarm for 30 minutes after you lay down? It's proven that a short nap from 10-30 minutes help with productivity.
Y-Thien Lam I have to leave for the bus at like 6:33am for school so what I do is set an alarm for 4:30am, I wake up then get a 30minute nap till five o'clock then I get up and get everything ready for school, at that time its about 5:45am or so, I lay down for the next 20 or 30minutes then I get up put my shoes and coat on grab my phone use the bathroom and then walk to the bus, not only do I feel awake I'm ready for when I come back home to do my homework. Hope this helps.
Y-Thien Lam
Yeah. I'd say get a better night's sleep. Jogging or working out a bit whenever you have free time can help you do this.
Push through the 3 hour by using caffeine of some sort
Y-Thien Lam I DO EXACTLY THE SAME LMAO 😂
3:07 and now he's addicted to gossip lmao
my worst habit is falling for this one boy everyday again
I love thinking about habits and thinking of ways to create better ones for health
This video is mixing the ideas of chunking and learning . Learning is what the rat does when it knows exactly where the chocolate after a week ( this is a lot like the skinners experiment ) . Chunking on the other hand is a method of learning ( for ex , if you are to learn the number 12348765 you would break it down to 1234-8765 ) . Technically if you want to break a bad habit , using a negative reinforcer works well since it leads to avoidance / negligence.
Devanshi Patel tried your method, everytime I curse I shoot myself in the foot. I...i cant walk, please f***ing help me!
* shoots foot again * ugh!
My biggest habit is biting my nails....
I can't be the only one!!
I know this creep who started the nailbiting boogie years ago. He's working on his armpits at the moment.
Me too man i cant stop it i actually went to hospital (nothing very scary ) because simethimg bery bad happened to my fingernail (sorry i cant explain it im very bad at english) I CANT STOP IT
i pick the dirt out of my fingers with my teeth and then spit it out when my nails are dirty and i can't clean them rn i hope i am not the only one...
I find it rlly useful as it makes sense
Most of the bad habits happen become it’s way to relieve stress or yeah so you have to do the same thing in a different way by knowing why you do it
Thank you!
Your videos are awesome guys. Very cool animation. Im thinking about quit smoking for good and while searching for some motivation I found your videos and it was really interesting! Keep going! I subbed :)
What if your bad habit is watching too many UA-cam videos? I don't think we should be encouraging people to break it.
Look up the program "Cold Turkey"
If the habit is bad we should break it
one of your tags for this video says "moring routines". you should change that to "morning routines:
this video was awesome as usual!
why expose tags like that
This entire concept is explained and explored really well in Charles Duhigg's book "The Power of Habit"
Awesome as always! but habits surely are hard to break..Good luck to everyone.
you too!
My bad habit it literally chewing on everything, pencils, wrappers, my sisters dolls, plastic water bottles, plastic water bottle tops, and my shirts.. this is terrible.. Also I always kick my feet while I stand, it’s gotten so bad I can’t stand still, my teachers even noticed it..
useful information your videos are addictive...😅⏯
He thank you for this video it's probably one of the simplest but best explanation or bad habits and potentially how to change them
No matter what I start watching, after I spend an hour on UA-cam, I always end up on this channel
You know this is bad when I am watching a video about procrastination when I’m procrastinating
What did the snowman say to the other snowman?
"Smells like carrots."
Ka-Shoot me.

Nicely done. Thanks, y’all!
This video is a summary of the book the power of habit. Great job guys
I think he should've had a chat at 3 AND had the cookie. Win win 🙊🍪
Science with Katie thats why I smoke winstons. Its a win-win-win
Science with Katie yeah
Science with Katie saw a comment of yours on slow motion guys yesterday and watched some of your vids. Keep it slow, calm, and confident. You know what you’re talking about. Good luck to you
W.
Science with Katie my lord, i found you again. Now i'm not really surprised.
Video on "How to build a habit" please...
horror478 oh hell no nah u don’t want it
Jasmine Avila what about daily exercise?
This video literally changed my perspective on what a habit is! ❤
This video was pretty helpful, but I also was wondering if there are any distinguishable differences between habits and addictions.
Smoking a bad habit or an addiction? anyways, great video!
Questn ZHiKA its a bad habit that becomes addiction
Addiction is just a more intense form of a habbit
It's both
Questn What's the difference?
It's both, there's not that much difference
I appreciate this video a lot. My main habits are picking at my nails and smoking cigarettes. I love how you explained similar stimulants to occupy the brain rather than the bad habit itself. I don't know if you guys have the answer, but smoking cigarettes; I've read is mostly the habit of rocking the arm back and forth from your mouth (same as eating or drinking or suckling even). I was curious if you know of any other methods of keeping the smoking habit aside! I have tried the patches and pills, quit for a month or two, but I feel like I need it within a few months if I get into a bad argument or feeling really down. Thank you very much in advance!
So from my experience as an ex-smoker I wanted to get my mouth occupied - I tried vaping or normal gums which somewhat helped. I also realized I do that to socialize - now I just go outside with the smokers without smoking. And to get my own peace and quiet - for that going for a walk helps and breathing techniques :) best of luck!
Breaking bad habits is (was?) one of the most difficult things to do for most people. This is fantastic!
OMFG THANK YOU SO MUCH! I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY NEEDED THIS
tip 1. Listen to Linkin Park
IM BREAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGG THEEEE HABIITTTTTTTTTTT TONIGHTT
ItzReallyRon epic comment
Lmao
My fave is numb
Yes but these don't actually destroy the old habits! When stress eventually happens the brain reverts back to the old habits
IDK what todo with this but thought it is relevant
Lougle practice 478 breathing when stress begins or you know your triggers. Practice mindfulness and positive focus to just notice the moment and watch as it (the compulsion) eventually passes. Can also do a different task when you notice the compulsion to program a new connection through conditioning. Write down when the habbit occurs and where. Notice the frequency and you will be able to preemptively do the new behavior right when the trigger or cue happens thereby short circuting the tendancy for your brain to sabatoge itself with underlying musts and irrational beliefs (the self talk).
I find a good way to make sure you cook at home is to marinade something. not only does it add flavor (always welcome), but it also locks you into cooking something. once you've marinaded it you've started cooking it and now you have to finish.
This video helped me a lot
Good work Greg and mitch
3:50 Voice crack
This AllOoWs
Excellent video, awesome research
Thank you SOOOOO much!!! I’ve needed a way to break my biting nails habit for a while. Although I think I don’t have any nails left anyway XD
I was biting my nails when this video started and I didn't even realize. ironic.
i've noticed that i fap twice a day (morning and night), regardless of whether or not i'm in the mood. This video convinced me that i can create the habit of fapping three times a day (immediately after work)
whenever i am just lying in bed, i just suddenly feel the urge to. i lay in my bed way too much too. i hope our bad habits go away soon.
Thanks! I pick my nails a lot but then I saw this video and I don’t do much anymore! Thanks!
I actually read that book in my first semester of college. Great book !
🎵"I am breaking the haaaabit tonight!" 🎵
you predicted the snap...!🤯
what
Thanks for this. So.,. I’ve realized the trigger or the “cue” for my binge eating and my sugar binging, is depression. Next is finding a way to tackle the triggers of the depression which is the difficult part. I know some. But have never been able to get rid of them. But I know that regardless, I can recondition. Find more healthy alternatives.
The same pleasure obtained from sweets i.e. Dopamine, can be derived from music as well!
So create a playlist you love and listen to it whenever you are craving sugar
You guys are amazing artists!!
Hey, you. Yes you. I know it's hard, but I believe in you! You can break your bad habit one day 💕
Tysm this helps me alot! 💞
Someone help me with this, my keep blinking a lot and I can’t stop it. Please someone help me.
Lol, and i blink very less, i'm trying to change this bad habit of mine but it's difficult.
wow, this is a damn cool channel! how have i never heard of it before!?!? i mean, i make similar content and honestly thought i know everyone on youtube talking about self improvement in any way 😃watching your videos will definitely become a (good) habit of mine!
This has come at the perfect time.
Smoking is not a habit, it's an addiction.
Actually it's both and the habit part of it is the hardest to break, the addiction part passes within days/weeks but the habit part can take months to break and can be triggered again years after you've broken it.
ZHiKA Its a bad habit . Yes you are addicted to it but it is still a habit.
ZHiKA Not really. There are many people who smoke only occasionally or less.
Actually the action itself is a habit. You can be completely off nicotine, but cutting out the action of smoking can trigger a craving response. But yes, it is mostly driven by the body wanting nicotine by addiction.
ZHiKA As an ex-smoker (3 months since I quit), there’s a lot of habit & routine overriding the addiction I’m afraid
UA-cam Is my bad hábit ... How ironic Is my life
My reward for looking at social media before bedtime was gathering information. So I started reading a book instead, and conquered my mild insomnia.
U guys rock @asapScience!
Linkin park breaking the habit.
I wanted to make a sodium joke.....but Na
Livin' Like Larry Ok

Nani M Yess.....Good girllll
Had that book on my "to-read" list/bookshelf for so long. But because of my tower of babel that is my "to-read" list, haven't been able to finish it.
i have a nail picking problem and i used to pick my toenails to the point of having multiple ingrown toenails every week and now i stopped that and i severly bite my fingernails now to the point i peel my nail down the bottom im only 16 i had a nail biting problem since kid time and im very thankful to have found this video because now i feel i can replace my habit with another as you said
If my hands are in my pockets, how can i then knock the desk?
*Don't* question it
*_-3in1-_*
Old habits die hard. For the chains of habit are to lite to be felt, until they are to strong to be broken.
