Building New Habits: What ACTUALLY Works? --
Getting your shit together, turning your life around, and achieving ANY goals of major importance arguably requires one core thing: Developing, and consistently executing upon, the good habits that will produce your desired results.
This actual-human-written, non-AI-slop blog post focuses on the key strategies that ACTUALLY work for effective habit formation. These include:
1) Simply schedule it in. Pick a clear start time, an end time, and work for that duration.
2) First, eliminate the bad habits that are standing in the way of your desired good habits.
3) Build "consecutive days in a row" streaks, to act as forcing systems.
4) Develop a consistent ROUTINE that you stick to, which works with your schedule.
5) Do NOT depend upon "feeling like doing it"; instead, utilize sheer willpower to FORCE yourself to do it.
It also explains why some commonly-repeated BAD advice will steer you in the wrong direction:
1) "Just do a pathetically small amount each day!" (e.g., do just 1 pushup)
2) "Just reach 21 days and you're good / then it gets easy"
The unfortunate reality is that achieving significant goals, and radically transforming yourself, very often requires gigantic piles of boring, difficult work. My hope is that this blog post will provide you with some of the core tools and thinking strategies required to get shit done, at major levels, and get off your ass to start taking action.
