1448: The Four Traps That Keep You Repeating the Same Struggles

If you can tell me what time tomorrow you're most likely to struggle, you already have what you need to stop it.

Most of us know exactly when we fall off. The dinner we didn't plan. The workout that gets pushed until the day is gone. The afternoon that starts overwhelmed and scattered. We know what to do, we know we're not doing it, and we even know why. And still, we keep getting caught off guard, the same way so many of us get caught off guard by Christmas every December.

Elizabeth walks through the four traps that keep us repeating the same struggles:

• Believing that wanting to do better is enough. Wanting to do better has never once changed a behavior.
• Planning the home run. The plan you're proudest of is often the one you're least likely to follow, and the one question to ask about every plan you make.
• Waiting for certainty. Certainty is something you earn by deciding. Waiting won't give you any.
• "I don't have time." Most of us have never actually done the math.

Then she shows you how to look at your next 48 hours, find the struggle that's already waiting for you, and decide what you'll do before you get there.
