INSIGHT

Systems Over Goals

  • Changing habits is about systems, not goals, and becoming the person you want to be.
  • Identity change drives lasting behavior change rather than short-term behavioral tweaks.
INSIGHT

Habits Are Compound Interest

  • Habits compound like interest: repeated small actions accumulate massive change over time.
  • The same compounding applies negatively for bad habits, so small negative actions also escalate.
ADVICE
