- Our environment constantly influences behavior and drains willpower through small daily temptations.
- Altering surroundings removes reliance on limited willpower and makes healthy choices automatic.
Make Bad Habits Hard, Good Habits Easy

- Decrease the steps between you and good habits so the fewer the steps, the likelier you'll act.
Use Social Allies For Accountability
