ADVICE

Build Discipline With Tiny, Timed Actions

  • Start ridiculously small to build discipline, then scale up consistently over time.
  • Use hourly micro-resets (60 seconds) to refocus and create automatic neural patterns.
INSIGHT

How Thoughts Turn Into Habits

  • Thought patterns become emotional patterns which become behavioral patterns and then automatic neural circuits.
  • Your brain automates repeated patterns to conserve energy, locking in habits for better or worse.
ADVICE

Use 100 Days To Make Habits Stick

  • Work on one specific habit or goal for an extended block (John recommends 100 days).
  • Focus on the habit, not intensity at first, and stack habits once the foundation exists.
