Designing Habits for Success

Building perfect habits isn't about motivation or willpower. It's about understanding how your brain actually

works. Start by making it obvious. Put your running shoes by the bed.

Make it attractive by pairing it with something you love. Make it easy by starting with just

two minutes. And make it satisfying by tracking your progress visually. Your environment

shapes your behavior more than your intentions ever will. When you design your surroundings

to support your goals, you remove the need for discipline. The people who seem

to have incredible self control aren't relying on willpower. They've simply structured their lives so the

right choice becomes the automatic choice.
