Explication du texte de Jean de la Fontaine : Le corbeau et le renard

Maître Corbeau, sur un arbre perché,
Tenait en son bec un fromage.
Maître Renard, par l'odeur alléché,
Lui tint à peu près ce langage :
Et bonjour, Monsieur du Corbeau.
Que vous êtes joli ! que vous me semblez beau !
Sans mentir, si votre ramage
Se rapporte à votre plumage,
Vous êtes le Phénix des hôtes de ces bois.
À ces mots, le Corbeau ne se sent pas de joie ;
Et pour montrer sa belle voix,
Il ouvre un large bec, laisse tomber sa proie.
Le Renard s'en saisit, et dit : Mon bon Monsieur,
Apprenez que tout flatteur
Vit aux dépens de celui qui l'écoute.
Cette leçon vaut bien un fromage, sans doute.
Le Corbeau honteux et confus
Jura, mais un peu tard, qu'on ne l'y prendrait plus.

If you say that a task was "plain sailing" then it's easy to complete. You didn't have any difficulty doing it. Of course, you could also say that a task was not plain sailing, meaning that it was a bit of a challenge!

5 Steps to Business Habit Stacking

STEP 1
Identify 1-3 key habits you want to focus on developing that will have the biggest positive impact on your business. These should be habits that are relatively easy to implement but provide high value such as daily planning, delegating tasks or networking. Focus on habits that are specific, measurable actions you can take each day to make progress towards your goals.

STEP 2
Choose an existing daily habit you already have as an anchor. This could be making your bed, taking your vitamins or checking email. The anchor habit should be something quick and easy you already do daily. Picking an anchor you already do each morning or evening will help cue the new habits without adding extra effort.

STEP 3
Immediately follow your anchor habit with one of the key habits you identified. For example, if your anchor is checking email in the morning, follow it with taking 10 minutes to plan your day. Doing the new habit right after the anchor will help the cues become associated over time.

STEP 4
Repeat the key habit daily, right after your anchor habit, until it becomes a routine. It may take 21-30 days for a new habit to stick so be patient and consistent. Don't try to build multiple habits at once. Staying focused on one habit at a time will help it to form more successfully without overload.

STEP 5
Once the first key habit is a routine, add the second by stacking it after your anchor and initial habit. For example, your routine is now check email > plan your day > delegate one task. Continue stacking until all your key habits are locked in. Stacking new habits onto existing routines helps you develop multiple productive habits efficiently.
