Here are some practical steps to help you develop and maintain these habits:

1. **Set Clear Goals**: Define your objectives and what you want to achieve. Having specific and measurable goals will give your habits purpose and direction.

2. **Start Small**: Begin with one or two habits at a time. Trying to overhaul your entire routine at once can be overwhelming and challenging. Focus on building a solid foundation first.

3. **Identify Key Habits**: Identify the habits directly contributing to your high performance. These could include regular exercise, healthy eating, quality sleep, meditation, time management, etc.

4. **Create a Routine**: Establish a daily schedule that incorporates your chosen habits. Consistency is critical to forming long-lasting habits.

5. **Use Habit Stacking**: Attach new habits to existing ones. For example, if you already have a morning coffee routine, add a short stretching session right after it.

6. **Track Your Progress**: Keep a journal or use habit-tracking apps to monitor your daily progress. Celebrate your successes and reflect on areas where you need improvement.

7. **Stay Accountable**: Share your goals and progress with a friend, family member, or mentor. Having someone to hold you accountable can increase your commitment.

8. **Stay Positive**: Cultivate a positive mindset and focus on the benefits of your new habits. Avoid being overly critical of yourself if you miss a day or face setbacks. Instead, learn from them and continue moving forward.

9. **Eliminate Distractions**: Identify and minimize distractions that hinder your productivity. This might include reducing time spent on social media or turning off notifications during focused work periods.

10. **Practice Self-Care**: Taking care of yourself physically and mentally is crucial for high performance. Set aside time for relaxation, hobbies, and activities that bring you joy.

11. **Adaptability**: Be flexible and willing to adapt your habits when necessary. Life can be unpredictable, and sometimes adjustments are needed to maintain consistency.

12. **Prioritize Sleep**: Ensure you sleep well each night. A well-rested mind and body are more capable of high performance.

13. **Celebrate Progress**: Celebrate your big and small achievements. Rewarding yourself for sticking to your habits can reinforce positive behavior.

14. **Learn and Educate Yourself**: Continuously seek knowledge and learn new skills related to your goals. Staying informed and educated can enhance your performance.

15. **Practice Mindfulness and Meditation**: Mindfulness and meditation can improve focus, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being, making you more productive in the long run.

Remember that forming new habits takes time and effort. Be patient with yourself and keep pushing forward even if you encounter obstacles. With consistent practice, these habits will become a natural part of your daily routine, contributing to your high performance and overall well-being.

RUNSHEET
Beginning our journey, we hear from the powerhouse of habits, Charles Duhigg, and get inspired to master our behaviors. We then hear from the GOAT himself, Tom Brady, and how he continues to be at the top of his game through habitual design. We’ll also hear from Tim Ferriss and his findings through a lifetime of researching the perfect way to start your morning.

Fully inspired, let’s understand habitual thinking with Daniel Kahneman, who encourages us to control our fast and slow thinking. Stephen Covey - the absolute master of habits - helps us understand to cultivate self-mastery. Finally, James Clear reveals an experiment that teaches us to celebrate the process and systems of progress rather than the end-goal.

Closing our deep dive into habits, we hear from Charles Duhigg how we can create habits by altering our behavior. We also dig into Robin Sharma’s three phases of building habits. And closing out the show, we hear from Stephen Covey again, who reveals that the trick to building good habits is focusing on continuous improvements daily.
