Refactor Yourself!

Have you ever tried building up a new habit or changing an existing one? It’s a hard thing to do, and we often fail at making new habits stick.
We find it hard to improve the design of our own behaviours, but when it comes to our code, we do know what to do. We know how to refactor to make sure that the code we have is improving without changing any unexpected behaviours. So how about we apply the same techniques to ourselves?
In this talk, we’ll look at the psychology of creating new habits, how this relates to refactoring code and how we can combine the two to drive change to our own behaviours.
