Episode notes
Clarity over Motivation
- Many people mistake a lack of clarity for a lack of motivation.
- Clearly defining when and where a habit will occur increases adherence.
Achieving New Year's Resolutions
- Scale down your New Year's resolutions to make them achievable even on bad days.
- Connect your habits to your identity, asking "Who do I wish to become?" rather than just "What do I want to achieve?"
Money Goals and Identity
- To improve finances, shift your focus from wanting to be better with money to being someone good with money.
- Instead of broad goals, target specific habits like cooking at home more to save on restaurant expenses.
