How to use Pavlok to Break Bad Habits
Pavlok’s most powerful use case is to break bad habits. To break a habit, you
should force yourself to perform that action repeatedly for at least 5 days (but
ideally 10). Set aside 5 minutes each day and force yourself to do the action – even
when you feel like stopping! If you push through for the full 5-10 days, the habit
will usually stay broken.
*The Pavlok app includes courses and training sessions to walk you through
breaking individual bad habits such as snacking, smoking and nail-biting. Download
the app at http://pavlok.com/app.
Determine the bad habit that you want to eliminate.
Set aside 5 minutes a day for 5-10 days.
For those 5 minutes, force yourself to do the bad habit
or undesired actions. Zap yourself at each step of the
habit. Force yourself to complete the full 5 minutes
and at least 5 days, even if you think the habit is
already broken.
After 5 days, check in with yourself and determine your
progress. You should notice a signicant reduction or
elimination of the habit. Continue using this process
until you feel an aversion towards the habit – and you
no longer desire to do it.
