"Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become."
Show Notes
James Clear describes how you can improve your life, using small incremental steps that add up to big wins.
Questions we discuss in this episode:
- How does "what you repeatedly do" affect your identity?
- How does someone’s context affect their ability to set and maintain good habits? Are good habits only for people of privilege?
- How can you maintain habits for people with depression, anxiety or attention deficit?
- How to form habits when your schedule is not in your control? (if you have kids, etc...)
- If you do fall out of a habit, what should you do? Revive it, or let it go?
- What systems and tools can you use to help automate, facilitate or help ingrain healthy habits?
