When forming a new habit: consider not starting small?
by McKinley Valentine (5 mins)

  • The article critiques the "tiny habits" approach, arguing that while it reduces effort, it often results in minimal rewards, making the habit feel pointless and unsustainable for some people, especially those with ADHD.
  • The author emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between effort and reward, suggesting that higher-effort tasks might be more motivating and beneficial if they provide more significant rewards.
  • For individuals with ADHD, interest and engagement are crucial in forming habits; complex, engaging activities may be more effective than simple, uninteresting tasks.

The Science of Learning Movement Skills
by Scott H. Young (10 mins)

  • Motor Skills Components: Motor skills involve perception, decision, and action stages, influenced by timing and feedback loops with the body and environment.
  • Generalized Motor Programs: Motor programs are abstract movement representations stored in the brain, guiding muscles to perform actions with fixed elements (rhythm) and adjustable parameters (force, speed).
  • Effective Learning Strategies: Varied and random practice enhances learning more effectively than repetitive practice. Feedback should be appropriately timed, simple, and focused on the movement goal rather than the movement itself.
