Episode notes
Small, Consistent Steps Win
- Focus on gradual habit change by working one step at a time and keeping constant touch points.
- Use brief daily reflection or two minutes of journaling to steer your day toward effective routines.
Most Habit Wisdom Is Repurposed
- Many self-help frameworks repurpose timeless wisdom; the value lies in practicing, not discovering, those ideas.
- Read or repackage ideas, but act on them later rather than expecting immediate novelty to create change.
Use Discomfort As Growth Fuel
- Embrace discomfort as a tool: accept short-term pain to build long-term habits like quitting smoking or starting intense workouts.
- Reframe actions as investments in your future self and treat small daily changes as care for future you.
