Life is a series of seasons, and what works in one season may not work in the next. What season are you in right now? What habits does that season require?
Habits create the foundation for mastery.
Pleasure teaches your brain that a behavior is worth remembering and repeating.
Using technology to automate your habits is the most reliable and effective way to guarantee the right behavior.
The most effective form of learning is practice, not planning.
When preparation becomes a form of procrastination, you need to change something.
It’s easy to be in motion and convince yourself that you’re making progress.
The cause of your habits is actually the prediction that precedes them.
One of the most effective things you can do to build better habits is to join a culture where your desired behavior is the normal behavior.
Peer pressure is bad only if you’re surrounded by bad influences.
When dopamine rises, so does your motivation to act.
Without dopamine, desire died. And without desire, action stopped.
In the long run, we become a product of the environment we live in.
Small changes in context can lead to large changes in behavior over time.
Customers will occasionally buy products not because they want them but because of how they are presented to them.
Environment is the invisible hand that shapes human behavior.
No behavior happens in isolation. Each action becomes a cue that triggers the next behavior.
The purpose of every habit is to solve the problems you face with as little energy and effort as possible.
In this way, the process of building habits is actually the process of becoming yourself.
Good habits can make rational sense, but if they conflict with your identity, you will fail to put them into action.
