Episode notes
Track Practice Sparked The Framework
- Gretchen noticed the pattern when a friend said she never missed track practice in high school but couldn't run now.
- That observation sparked the research that became the Four Tendencies framework.
Expectations Shape Behavior
- People respond to two expectation types: outer (other people's requests) and inner (self-imposed goals).
- Gretchen Rubin's Four Tendencies classify how people instinctively meet or resist those expectations.
Use Outer Accountability
- If you are an Obliger who struggles to meet inner expectations, create outer accountability like classes, partners, or commitments.
- Make tasks public or tied to others so you follow through consistently.
