*Thread*1. Begin with the end in mind.
Imagine your future and then create it.
When you know what you want and
create a plan to achieve it, you can work
backward to what you need to do each
day to succeed.2. Prime your environment.
If you want to write, set up a writing area.
If you want to workout, set up a home
gym.
Setting up our environment to facilitate
our desired habits means we are more
likely to follow through.3. Reduce friction.
Choose goals and habits that align with
yout life.
Make it as simple as possible to form
habits.4. Use the "When --> Then" hack.
Tie the work to a specific activity or time.

- When I'm done brushing my teeth,
| will floss.
- When | wake up, | will take the dog
for a walk.5. Discipline > Motivation.
Motivation fades.
Discipline remains.
Develop discipline over time.
When you're consistent, you build your
discipline muscles day in and day out.
Keep building6. Reward yourself.
Setup an external reward system.
Have a cheat meal on Sunday when
you've run each day this week.
When you've read a book each day,
watch a movie on the weekend.
When we reward the behavior, we're
more likely to remain committed to the
behavior.7. Track your progress.
Create a journal.
Publish results online.
The more public your tracking, the more
likely you'll succeed.
When we add the element of public
accountability, we increase our likelihood
of persisting.8. Start small.
Do not try to achieve your goals in
one step.
Make the first step as small as possible.
For example:
- Walk two miles
- Read five pages of a book
- Exercise for fifteen minutes

to do, which is the goal.The answer is habits.
Consistent habits allow us to achieve
our goals.
