Relationships-related idioms

这里是one minute Chinese, 中文一分钟，每天都不同！ 我们一起听一分钟，想一分钟，说一分钟，今天的话题，中国人的开门七件事。
在中国，有句俗话说：开门七件事，柴米油盐酱醋茶（chai2 mi3 you2 yan2 jiang4 cu4 cha2, lit. Firewood,rice,oil,salt,vinegar,soy and tea）。柴是柴火，有了他就可以生火取暖，做饭。米就是大米这些粮食(liang2shi, grain)，油和盐，都是为了做饭可以更香，酱和醋呢，是中国人发明的调料(tiao2liao4,flavouring)，他们发现细菌(xi4jun1,germ)和粮食在一起，发酵(fa1jiao4,ferment)后，会变成各种好吃的东西。有了他们，中国菜才会那么好吃。 最后一样，茶，过去，这可是只有客人来了才能拿出来的东西，不便宜的。回头一看，中国人早上起床打开门最重要的七件事，全部都和吃有关系，看来吃是中国非常重要的文化了。

Habit stacking in a business context is a behavioral technique for integrating desired routines into existing workflows. It involves pairing a new, target behavior (e.g., reviewing daily sales reports) with an established trigger habit (e.g., checking your inbox each morning). By capitalizing on the automatic nature of existing habits, the cue to perform the target behavior becomes ingrained, increasing its adoption and persistence. Habit stacking can be used to improve individual productivity (e.g., streamlining post-meeting follow-ups) or foster team-level behavioral change (e.g., implementing a daily huddle for information sharing). The effectiveness of this technique hinges on selecting appropriate trigger habits – frequent, consistent actions with minimal cognitive load. Additionally, target habits should be small, achievable actions to ensure successful integration and minimize disruption to existing workflows. Through repetition and positive reinforcement, habit stacking strengthens the association between the trigger and target behavior, ultimately leading to the desired routine becoming an automatic part of the workday.
