Habits compound over time. For example, bamboo builds extensive roots underground for years and will then shoot up in weeks. You have to cross a certain threshold.
You don’t rise to your goals you fall to the level of your sysystems
You need to change your systems to align with your new identity
1) Make it attractive
2) Make it satisfying
3) Make it easy
4) Make the cue obvious
There’s a score card on his website. Point out everything and shout it out you become more aware
Environment shaped human behaviour. Have good habits and good food visible and everything else hidden.
Instead of thinking about objects think about relationships with the objects.
One space one use
When you want to think creatively go to a different space which isn’t controlled by current thought patterns.
You can never forget bad habits. You can only get rid off them from the source. You can’t make good habits in a negative environment.
Make good cues obvious and bad cues invisible.
Habit stacking: After current habit I will do new habit
You need to make the habit obvious. When planning a new habit you need to give a time place and route
Use habit score board. Use implementation intentions. Use habit stacking. Redesign your environment. Will power is not enough. Reduce exposure to bad cues!
Being in motion and taking action are two different things. Being in motion is basically research. Taking action is taking a step forward
You need to reduce the friction of habits. When a hose has a bend it’s hard for water to flow but when you move it the water 💦 flows out
