Environments can be designed to better support good habits or establish new habits.

Habits are regular practices or routines that define our whole life and the outcomes we achieve; therefore, they are the concept of self-improvement.

Small habit changes can produce outsized effects that improve or degrade quality of life.

Good habits yield positive results over the long term. Bad habits only bring short-term gain.

Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because I don’t want to change, but because I have the wrong system for change.

My habits are intertwined with my personal identity.

If I want to break a bad habit it is useful to use a commitment device, this is a preventative measure to limits future actions.

All my outcomes are a delayed reaction to my long-standing habits. If I want to change my outcomes, I need to change my habits.

How I talk about a new habit, even to myself, affects the implementation of the habit. With the right mindset and a clear vision “Why do I want to implement a new habit?”, it will become much easier and successful.

A new habit is more likely to become ingrained if it’s easy, hence start with very small first steps and establish them.

Changes that seem small and unimportant at first will compound into remarkable results if I’m willing to stick with them.

If I want better results, then forget about setting goals. Focus on my system instead.

The most effective way to change my habits is to focus not on what I want to achieve, but on who I wish to become.

My environment is the invisible hand that shapes my behavior.

If you're trying to diet, what do you do? You grab your two friends and say, 'We're going to the gym; let's do this together.' Money shouldn't be any different. If you're trying to make progress, if you're trying to save more, we really need to be able to get support.
