What is the method? "The copy-paste method involves identifying and trying out an acquaintance's goal-achievement strategy."
Other points:
- Researchers found among people " the ones who used the copy-paste method spent more time exercising than the others."
- "If you see a strategy from someone you admire, you're more likely to want to mimic it—especially if it's someone you know in real life."
- "It's also something you can customize, since you can copy the behaviors of friends who are into what you are (and who may share the same goals you do)."
The advice: "...if you've been struggling with figuring out how to stick to a workout routine, just get some tips from a friend. Copying their routine and trying it out for yourself could be the missing puzzle piece you've been trying to find for years."
