Instrumental Rationality 4.3: Breaking Habits and Conclusion
TheThieleDeal6y10

How do you go about identifying more subtle triggers/dealing with habits that seem (at least at first glance) triggerless. The example that makes me think this is biting my fingernails. There doesn't seem to be any particular trigger that's causing the response to trigger (at least that I can think of at the moment), but its still an automatic habitual behavior I would prefer to remove. In these more subtle contexts, are there any established mechanisms for working out what the trigger actually is or how to remove habits without knowing the triggers?
