Past simple

And that's the only Dr. Seuss's calamity in this video

this is one of the better self development books

I think this is the best habit building book

But while those three big ideas we discussed in that video

do kind of encapsulate the strategic component

because as anybody who's ever studied business

will tell you to run a successful business,

you need two things, strategy and tactics.

Strategy being the foundational sort of birds eye view,

huge ideas that really form the foundation

And tactics being the more in the trenches plans

in addition to dealing with whatever crap

And while running a business and building habits

in your everyday life, aren't completely identical goals,

which is that you need both strategy and tactics.

also deals with this more tactical question.

In fact clear lays are four different rules

for making habits stick over the longterm

and making sure that you stick with them even when life

I'm gonna give you my thoughts on each of them.

So let's get started with rule number one,

shouldn't come with question marks on it.

you're already getting off on the wrong foot.

is actually one of my favorite quotes in general

which is that, "You do not rise to the level of your goals,

And if your system hasn't defined a clear picture

then you're not really gonna know what to do.

For instance, I will eat more vegetables is unclear.

that you've actually completed that goal?

Well, if you've set your system in an unclear way

then on many days you're gonna find yourself

eating a baby carrot and saying, "Hey, I ate vegetables."

And that's the thing, on really busy days,

or days when you're feeling just really, really tired

you can bet that you are going to just fall

to the bare minimum requirement that your system has set.

And over time, this can lead to self sabotage

because while you are technically fulfilling

through that practice are so infinitesimally small

that you don't see real progress over time.

You're basically just kind of stalled out.

But you can easily fix this by making the goal obvious

instead of saying, "I will eat more vegetables,"

"I will eat one full serving of vegetables

"every day at lunch, except for on Sundays

I don't know who thinks fries are a vegetable

but hey, we gotta be specific here, right?

But you can see it's very clear minimum requirement

makes it a lot harder to cheat yourself in the long term.

what you're supposed to be doing on a day to day basis.

And if you wanna make this even more obvious,

then it's a good idea to have a written record
