Episode notes
Concrete Trigger-Action Habits
- Define habits as reflexive if-then trigger-action patterns that happen automatically without active thought.
- Keep triggers and actions concrete, specific, and consistent for best habit formation.
Keep Habit Actions Simple
- Choose actions for habits that can be done immediately and in under five seconds for better consistency.
- Avoid complex or vague actions that require decision-making or delay between trigger and action.
Small Habits, Big Changes
- Break big goals into tiny, atomic habits you can chain together to build momentum.
- Habit continuity is critical: avoid skipping the habit twice in a row to ensure long-term success.
