ADVICE

Use The 10-10-10 Decision Drill

  • Use Susie Welch's 10-10-10 method: evaluate consequences in the next 10 minutes, 10 months, and 10 years to clarify decisions.
  • Dump all pros and cons, compare them to your values, and the right choice usually "rises up like the sun."
ADVICE

Reward Small Wins To Rewire Motivation

  • Stop beating yourself up and instead celebrate small progress to trigger dopamine and reinforce better habits.
  • Nicole Vignola explains cutting cigarettes from 20 to 1 is huge progress; reward that to make further reduction more likely.
ADVICE

Drown Out Shoulds By Listing Your Values

  • Quiet the "shoulds" by clarifying your values with a regular check-in and a simple chart separating internal versus external shoulds.
  • Kati Morton recommends 10 minutes alone to list goals and notice what feels light versus heavy when you write it.
