Episode notes
Focus On Process Not Outcome
- Habit goals shift focus from outcomes to processes and activities.
- They change your lifestyle and mode of operation rather than deliver a one-time result.

- When writing a habit goal, specify the activity you will perform rather than the outcome you want.
- Convert outcome goals (like run a half marathon) into supporting activities (like exercise mornings) to install lasting habits.
