Actions, Inactions, and Results

December brings those annual bad habits back for about six weeks. You know the ones.

I sat on the couch all day after a neighbor's wine party and had one word: incompatible. Not sustainable. Compatible. That's the question that changes everything about your habits.

You already know what you should be doing. I walk you through my Good Habit Generator process that makes it actually happen. Short list. Pick one. Do it today. Layer in the rest.

Simple stuff that works when life gets complicated.

Featured Story

My neighbor threw a wine party on Saturday night. I like good wine. And I almost never drink during the year.

So I went. Had a glass. Maybe more because people kept topping me off. Cookies, chicken wings, pigs in a blanket, Swedish meatballs. All of it.

Sunday morning I woke up with one word in my head: incompatible.

Fun? Absolutely. But completely incompatible with what I want. I know because I spent the entire day on the freaking couch doing nothing.

That one word has become huge in my coaching. Not is it sustainable, but is it compatible with your life?

Important Points

Every single action or inaction in your life creates a result, even doing nothing changes things.

You already know your bad habits and good habits, the problem is making them fit your actual life.

Compatible beats sustainable as the question to ask about your habits and choices.

Memorable Quotes

"Is it compatible or is it incompatible with your life?"

"Everything you do in your life is a result of an action or an inaction."

"If you do what you'd like to do and if you do it every single day, your life is going to be happier."

Scott's Three-Step Approach

Make a short list of one to three good habits you know will improve your life right now.

Choose one single habit from your list and do it today, then repeat it tomorrow no matter what.

Layer in the other habits from your list day by day without overwhelming yourself with too much too fast.
