Change is really hard.
A road I use every day is shut. There are orange cones blocking entry and a big yellow “Diversion” sign.
It’s forced me to look at my options.
I tried a couple of new routes. They worked well.
I might never have tried these roads if my usual route had been open.
The old road is open again now.
And when I saw that muscle memory took over and I headed that way again.
It’s easier to keep doing things the way they’ve always been done.
We change only when we have to.
If you want to sustain new behaviour, put a roadblock in front of the old options.
