Chances are, you’ve heard the name James Clear. Especially if you have done any research whatsoever about building habits. That’s kinda his neck of the woods.

You’ll learn some really specific, easy and flat out “why didn’t I think of that” genius methods to apply to your life and habits.

In this Interview, James Clear and I Discuss…

  • His book, Atomic Habits: An Easy and Proven Way to Build Good Habits and Break Bad Ones
  • Habits are a response to the physical cues in our environment
  • Increasing the friction it takes to complete the task
  • The more you increase the steps between you and the bad behavior or decrease the steps between you and the good behavior the better
  • Habit stacking/Anchoring
  • “After _____ I will _____”
  • The more specific the better
  • Social environment and habits
  • You want to join groups where your desired behavior is the normal behavior
  • Make it easy
  • The two-minute rule
  • A habit must be established before it can be improved
  • Optimize for the starting line rather than the finish line
  • Make it satisfying
  • Feel successful at the end
  • Bring the long-term consequences into the short term
