Caleb leads fellow podcast hosts Matthew and David in a discussion of New Year's resolutions and habit building. The group focuses on Matthew's past success creating a "blueprint for the perfect day" by reverse engineering daily routines and behaviors that left him feeling fulfilled. They share a laugh about David's struggle with a batch of homemade cookies after their last episode. A key takeaway is that the secret to lasting change is finding simple habits tailored to your individual lifestyle and personality through regular self-reflection.
Takeaways:
• Most resolutions fail by mid-February, with 92% failing by the end of the year. It takes around 66 days to establish a new habit.
• Build flexibility into goals and habits to avoid the "all or nothing" mentality that leads many to quit when they miss a day.
• Focus on simple habits that fit your lifestyle rather than complex routines you may not stick to long-term.
• Reflect regularly on what daily activities/routines make you feel good and accomplish your goals to develop a "perfect day" blueprint.
• Adapt ideas from others to your own tendencies and interests rather than adopting habits just because someone else does them.

• Traction, by Gino Wickman (book)
• The Compound Effect, by Darren Hardy (book)
