How to build habits:

Start small

  • Don't make all changes at once
  • Incremental progress
  • Break a task into smaller ones
  • Consistency is achievable 
  • Where progress is made
  • Spending a little time each day doing something
  • Sustainable 
  • Small goals, short time increments to make activities sustainable

Remove barriers

  • Prep ahead of time (set up your workout station and gear, put the book on your desk)
  • Remove all obstacles
  • Make it a precondition for something else you ended to do
  • Non-negotiable
  • Create a pre-condition 
  • Difficult to talk yourself out of it

Pencil it in

  • Schedule it
  • Make time for the thing to take place
  • Time-block your calendar (color coding works)

  • Present in your mind
  • Don’t have too much on your plate
