And welcome back to another live episode of Stuck, my Mind podcast. I'm glad to be back. I didn't do any shows last week. I was not feeling well, battling COVID. But I'm back and I have a very special guest. He's a coach. He's here to actually talk about creating successful habits. Focusing on creating successful habits. Welcome to the show, Jason Harwood. Hey, how are you? Good to be here. Glad you're feeling better. Thank you. Thank
you. I appreciate it, man. I appreciate it. I'm excited to have you on. I got some questions. Oh, good. I'll do my best to answer. Let's learn a little something about you because how many kids you have. If you do any looking, that's always one of the first questions because, yeah, it's a lot, but yeah, we have seven kids and last month or two months ago, my oldest turned 20 when he was still 19. At the time we had six teenagers
all at once. So six of the seven of them were teenagers. So now we have five teenagers, a 20 year old and a nine year old. So yeah, we run the gamut. Yes. I could tell you why you didn't watch much TV. Nothing to do in Idaho, turns out. All right. What led you to this? What led you to wanting to help people get into showing them how to create successful habits? Because that's something that people don't realize that things we do are habit forming.
What led you to this? Yeah, it is interesting because the reality of habits is that they exist, whether they're intentional or not. The question is not do you have habits? Because you do. It like almost everything that we do is based off of some type of habit pattern in our minds. So the question becomes how intentional are your habits?
So I have done a lot of business development and coaching and in the process of that had helped a lot of people on the business side of their life create systems around finance and sales and marketing and things. And I had an experience that kind of
mirrored a lot of the experiences of people that I was working with. And that is, as I got into my forty s, I was, I guess, shocked and disappointed to discover that everything that had been on my happiness list in, like, my twenty s and thirty s, I'd gotten a nice house, married, good family, good relationships, nice cars, good job. Everything
that I thought. I had been working so hard, going to college, trying to drive my career, and so many things that I thought, man, once I get this taken care of, this is going to reduce stress. This is going to reduce unhappiness. Once I get into this financial position, then all of a sudden I get my forty s and I'm in that financial position and I'm like, then why am I not as happy as I thought
I was going to be. And so I started looking around it at the process that I'd gone through and helping people on the business side develop habits and systems from a business standpoint, and decided to apply those same principles in behaviors that were specifically and intentionally designed to help me live a happier and more fulfilled life.
And so that's where this comes together, is to let's take all of the fantastic research and process that's out there about creating consistency in our lives, and let's apply it to things that will help us live a better life, not just get more sales or consistently manage our business finances. I mean, we can talk about those things, but turns out those things don't actually contribute to
fulfillment and long term happiness. So that's where my focus has become, is, all right, let's also talk about who we are at our core center. And that's something that people assume, that these materialistic things and all this stuff have a nice heart, that they bring you happiness, and then you see all these celebrities who have all this money, and they end up committing suicide and killing themselves. It just shows you that
life is precious. It's very delicate. And for me, I was widowed at 31, so it made me look at life much more different than my age because I knew how precious life was. And you have to live and enjoy every day. Yeah, sure, look at life and go, all right, it can end just like that. It can be taken away from you. For me, there's days, of course, you're not going to be happy every day, there's certain things that are going to happen, you're going to have. But I've decided that, no,
I'm going to live my life, I'm going to be happy. I'm going to do what I love to do, which I found found out in my 40s that podcasting is something I love to do, and being able to share these messages with people has given me a purpose. Yeah. And it's interesting because in the course of this work, I've just come across fascinating ideas around the fact that we talk about some of the unhappiness that we find
in celebrities and things like that. But one of the kind of scary statistics is that suicide rates among men in middle age is one of the highest percentages of any demographic. Wow. And I think that's because a lot of this happens to a lot of people is you're driving in your twenty s and thirty s and even into your 40s because you think, man, once I get these things or once I get this career or once I get to a place of stability, then I'll feel happier. And we're driving, driving,
driving. Then we get there and we're like, wait a minute, all there is to life? Like, really, I just killed myself to get the VP job or to grow the business, or to be able to afford this house and car. And now I still feel internally unfulfilled and miserable. And unfortunately, that
leads to a lot of people down kind of a dark path. And so becoming then intentional around now, I have to become as intentional in my fulfillment as I was in getting that VP position or moving up in my career or building my business or whatever brought you to that point. You got to get as intentional on the emotional and the mental side of doing things to grow yourself as a human. So
that becomes important. What is something you recommend people do to really try to find those habits, find those things that's going to help them find that fulfillment and help them find what basically is their purpose, what is going to help them enjoy their life? Yeah, so I love that because that's where it has to start. It has to start with identifying what are some of the core values that are most important to me. And if you go to thejasonharwood.com there is a little document there, the
Happier Habits Guide, that will walk you through some of this. That's one of the remarkable things that happened to me as I went through this process is I just happened to have kind of this almost like lightning bolt inspiration moment where these core character traits that really mattered to me came into focus. And it happened as I was going through that process of saying, my gosh, it turns out that houses and cars and jobs are not the
thing that's fulfilling me. So what is going to bring me fulfillment? And for me, I came to some core character traits of generosity. I'm just happier when I'm intentionally behaving in a way to help others. And generosity isn't giving money. It's much bigger than that. And then learning. I'm happiest when I'm learning. And so reading and growing some things in that way, I start playing around with woodworking just because it's something I love to do. I'm not real
good at it. That's not the point. The point is just learning. I learned how to do this thing. I watched this video. I learned how to do it because learning makes me happier. And then I focus on some things around personal belief and gratitude because I'm happier in that. So one of the practices that you can go through is it's a little bit of self reflection helps if you maybe have a piece of paper or something. But just start thinking back over your life and start
identifying. When are times when I felt happiest? When are times when I felt most fulfilled? When are times when I felt growth in my life? And again, one of the challenges that we face is that often through our earlier years, so much of that is tied to our career or growing a business, or growing a family. But we've got to start identifying, okay, when are moments within my career when I was happiest.
When are moments within my job when I'm happiest? And what you'll start to see are some consistent patterns for you personally. Now, you might align similar to things like me, that for most people, they're happiest when they're doing things for other people. And so we strive to make generosity a habit. Most people are happier when they come from a mindset of gratitude and being grateful for what is rather than focusing on what isn't or kind of mired in what should have been.
Those are a couple of common ones that we can build habits around, but it is a process of taking a few minutes sitting down and just jotting down, think through when are times in your life when you were the most happy, the most fulfilled. You're experiencing growth and enjoyment in life and start identifying common traits. And then we look at those and say, all right, let's start building habits around that. Wow. Yeah. Because now as I sit here while you're saying that, I'm reflecting on some of
those moments. And for me it's really been recently because like you said, I've been learning. I've learned so much in this past couple of years. I wasn't into media and any of that. I'm a table games dealer. And when I got further from my job, I started podcasting, I learned about editing, I started learning video editing, started doing all these different
things. And it was so much that I was just loving the fact that I'm like, all right, I'm picking up new things, learning things that I would have never thought I would be able to do. These are things that I didn't think about, hey, I'm going to be a podcast. It just happened. And it's just the networking, the people I've met, the conversations I've had has helped me honestly and has helped me so much growth wise, because I've learned so much.
I've been able to speak to some amazing people and pick up some great nuggets and apply some of the things that they're teaching. And at one point, I felt kind of selfish because I was learning so much and listening and enjoying these conversations. And a guest pointed out to me, like, no, you're not selfish. That's self love and the fact that you're sharing it with your audience, that shows that you're a generous person. You want people to learn with you. And I was like,
yeah. Oh, man, that rings. That hit me like, wow, that is true. That's so true. Being able to have you on the show and share with your experiences and share what you do, somebody might hear this episode and be like, oh, man, I needed to hear what Jason had to say. And for me, that's like the ultimate. This is awesome.
This is great. I love this. Yeah, as you mentioned, right, taking some of those things that you are passionate about, that you enjoy doing, talking with someone, meeting someone new, interacting and what's great is in today's world, whether it's that or almost anything, you can start making small, easy progress towards just about anything. Maybe you want to run a podcast. Great. You want to write a book. It's easier than ever. You want to get into woodworking. And I build little
tables. I sell them on Facebook marketplace. I sell them for about the cost of the wood. I turn around, I use that money to buy more wood and build the next table. It's like, just for fun, just for enjoyment, just because I like it. And some of it is freeing up that space to be able to do that, to say, you know what? I've got to create space. And that's where the intentionality comes in, to be intentional in what you're doing, because you have a system of habits in place right
now. It's not that you don't have habits. It's that maybe you're not as intentional about them as you'd like to be to get the outcomes that you want. Yeah, absolutely. There's things I'm still learning that I know that I need to apply, but I know these things. It's just me doing it. It's just me going and doing it and stop procrastinating. And that's one thing that I know I do a lot of. But I'm working on it. I'm working on it. I guess
realizing it's the first step. Yeah, it's fascinating because the strength of that comment is really powerful. Because when we talk about small habits and we start to identify what some of them are in other areas of our life, we're really aware of this. Because if you want to, say start eating better, the easiest, fastest thing you can do to eat better is track everything that you eat. Because as soon as you become aware of everything that you eat, you're like, oh, my gosh,
yeah, I really do eat bad. Or like, I've gone through periods of my life where I've looked back over the last two or three days and been like, oh, my gosh, I don't think I've eaten a fruit or a vegetable in, like, three straight days. But you don't know that until you become aware of it. Same with finances. The easiest, fastest thing you can do to start changing your spending patterns is to literally track every single dollar that you spend. Now, the same thing applies in
these other areas of your life. As soon as you start thinking like, man, how much time am I spending in personal growth? And start tracking it, you start to realize, man, I haven't hardly been spending any time on it. How much time do I spend intentionally doing kind acts for others? You start realizing, oh, man, I think of myself as a generous person, but maybe I don't match my impression of myself with actions consistently enough to really make a difference.
And so, yeah, that awareness often becomes the very first thing, okay, start tracking it. Start writing down, start keeping a calendar. It's usually the smallest, easiest thing that you can do to start changing behaviors, because now you become aware that things aren't exactly as you thought they were. Okay, yeah, definitely. No, it does. It makes sense.
There was a situation at work where I wasn't getting along with someone at work, and I had a guest on, and they said something, and I'm like, man, let me apply that to this situation and see how it goes. And when I did that, it was like, the situation now me and that coworker is completely different. Now the energy is completely different. But that's because I approached it in a different manner, because before, I was like, maybe it's not him.
Maybe it's me. And when I spoke to this guest and they said whatever they said to me, maybe it isn't him. Maybe there's something inside me I need to work on and change and see how this approach works. And when I did that and when I started doing that more frequently with this person, things changed, and it was me just changing the way I interacted with them. It was like, okay, I need to approach this differently, because the way I'm approaching it isn't working.
Yeah. And that's often where we start, is looking at our own life and saying, man, if it's not working, I've got to change something. And that's where so many of us start, because for me, I've talked with a lot of people, and, man, it sounds like that was part of your past history. I can't imagine losing a spouse at 31 and the difficulty and the pain
that that would bring. Many people have those type of experiences where it's kind of a light switch moment where life is going along one way, and then boom, all of a sudden, it's like the light switched off, and you realize, physically, I can't keep living this way. Death of a loved one, job loss, car accident, medical diagnosis oftentimes force us to change behaviors. Unfortunately, I think the bigger percentage of the population lives
in kind of this sunset environment. And if you've ever sat through a sunset, it's this constant adjustment and convincing ourselves that the new situation is acceptable. Right? Things get a little darker, and you adjust your eyes, and you say, no, it's fine. I can still see. Gets a little darker. It's fine. I can still see. Life gets a little darker. I'll be fine. Gets a little darker. I'll be fine. We adjust. We say, no,
I can adjust it. Instead of identifying and saying, man, this place of unhappiness, this place of pain, this place of a lack of fulfillment, I'm no longer willing. And until you hit that moment of saying, you know what? I'm no longer willing to live my life the way it's trending, unfortunately, humans almost always change based off of pain. And until you're like, I'm sick of it being dark I'm going to start turning on some lights. You just readjust yourself to the current reality
and define it as acceptable. Yeah. And until you change that, you don't have the kind of the internal drive to start making some changes. You kind of broke down how it was for me for a few years. You broke it down to kind of I was in a dark place. It was different. My attitude was different. The way I was approaching life was different. I didn't care. It was just me not caring about anything. Finally one day waking up and realizing, this isn't the way
I'm supposed to be living. This isn't the life that's intended for me. And so I had to get out of that. I had to stop doing the things that I was doing. And I wasn't harming anyone else. It was just me. It was just basically just harming myself. Not physically, but just mentally and emotionally, just trying to block out anything, not wanting to feel anything, to wake up and realize, like, no, this is not where I'm
supposed to be at. Because even after losing my wife, it was just like one tragedy after another after another. And I was angry and just didn't enjoy life whatsoever at all. And then, like I said, it was one day, it was like, no, this has to change. Life has to change. And once that I started doing that, things started changing for the best. I met my wife now I met my wife, who I've been now with for almost ten years now, and I became a table games dealer. I made pretty good
money. I started doing my podcast. Life just started changing for the best. And it was because I had to get out of that mindset that I just knew this wasn't the way I was supposed to go, this wasn't the path that I was supposed to be down. And so being able to switch that and it's crazy because my first wife had, I guess, started preparing me because she introduced me into the world of self development, into reading books, into wanting to learn and grow. And so it prepared me.
Eventually when I got out of the darkness, it brought me back to learning and growing and wanting to continuously grow and become a better person. I look at it like, things happen for things happen for a reason. This was my path. This was what was written for me to happen. And now where am I going to go with this? What path am I going to follow? What am I going to start doing to continue on this journey? And it's every day. It's every day I'm learning something to know and
just growing as a person. Yeah. And that's the key to it, right? When we look at creating habits, the first step, the first principle, I guess the first idea is that it is going to be these small, consistent things, you mentioned this everyday journey towards it. And that's really what it is. Because it's not just like one big flood of a thing that you can do. It's the consistent, daily, just little drip, drip, drip of one small thing. One small thing.
And I think that's the trap that a lot of people fall in is they find themselves in a position they don't want to be in, mentally, emotionally, whatever. And they think, I need to change, and I need fast change. And so they think, I got to make some huge, big effort change. And that almost never leads to success because it relies on heavy motivation, right? Then you're really feeling it, but a day or two or a week
later, probably not really feeling it. And so when you reduce the size of the action, you can build momentum rather than relying on motivation. And as you build momentum and consistency, now you start seeing results. Not because any one individual action was so significant, but it was the consistency of action that made a difference. So when I talk with people and they say, okay, I want to start making changes, I say, what's the smallest possible action
you can take? You want to become more grateful? What's the smallest thing you can do? Write down one thing a day you're grateful for? Want to live a life of increased generosity and kindness? Do one small act of kindness for one member of your family every day, right? It's getting it down to as small as possible. Right now, I'm trying to increase my exercise and working out, and I'm not real consistent with it. And so I just always go
smaller. Okay, I'm going to go smaller. And right now I'm doing these little ten minute, they're called amwrap, as many reps as possible. And it gives you a small little workout. You do as much as you can in ten minutes, and after ten minutes, boom, workout over. Because I'm like, okay, I can work out for ten minutes. I know that's not going to turn me into this hyper fit, cross fit, like those crazy people out there running Spartan races.
But what it does do is it gets me consistent because I know, okay, I can do ten minutes. I can write down one thing I'm grateful for. I can read one page in my book to learn a little bit every day. I can spend ten minutes in meditation. I can get up five minutes earlier and spend five minutes on just kind of personal reflection time, whether that's meditation or prayer or whatever, right? So just go as small as possible to build consistency.
That's something like which I mentioned, reflection, that's something we don't do. That's something a lot of people don't do, is reflect on whatever the day was or whatever it is. That's something I'm learning that especially doing with the podcast and everything, is I set a plan, I execute that plan, and then I reflect on it and look at how, okay, what could have I done differently in this situation to make this work or make this happen.
And that's something we don't do. That's something we really, generally, a lot of people don't do, is sit down and reflect on how their day how their day went and what could have they done differently throughout that day to change certain circumstances. Yeah, people sometimes they get wrapped up into thinking, oh, man, now you're talking about 30 minutes at the end of the day. No, just five minutes.
Just wake up five minutes earlier and think about, okay, what's the main thing, the two or three main things I really want to get done today? And at the end of the day, just two things. The other key to this that always trips people up, and it's one of the easiest things you can do, is change the environment to change your behavior. If when you decide. Okay. I want to write down one thing I'm grateful for every
morning. The best thing you could do to increase your consistency with that is get the notebook that you want to write your thing down on and put it, like, right next to your bed or right next to your toothbrush. And then you go brush your teeth. You brush your teeth every day already, so you brush your teeth. There's your notebook. You write down your one thing you're grateful for. I have my little gratitude journal right on my desk. And so as soon as I sit down, boom, there it
is, and boom. I write down my three things I'm grateful for. It's the first thing I do every morning before I start getting into emails and projects and things like that. So oftentimes, our environment is crafted to support your current behavior. Anytime you want to change behaviors, changing your environment will dramatically increase the likelihood of success. So take whatever it is that you want to implement in your life. Make it easier to get to it. Put the book closer.
Put the notebook closer. Put your running shoes right next to your bed. Sleep in your workout clothes, for heaven's sakes. If you want to eat better, buy more vegetables. Put more vegetables in your fridge. And when you go up in your fridge and all you see is vegetables and, I don't know, cheese, you can eat a little bit better. And so if you change the environment around you, you'll dramatically impact the success
of the endeavor. But right now, the environment is probably situated to keep you doing the things you're already doing. Yeah, it is. But these are things you learn along the way. There's things I definitely know I got to work on. I definitely have to change my eating habits. I know this for a fact. I'm not the most healthy. And it was like at the beginning of the pandemic, me and the wife were doing so well. We couldn't go out and eat junk food.
We had to cook food and watch what we ate and make sure, like, okay, this is healthy for us. It's not fried. We're grilling it. We're using the air fryer. We're like, okay, we're doing a little bit more salad and stuff like that. And we saw a difference in energy and everything. And then when we went back to work and everything went back, we kind of went away from that and started eating out again and not eating the right foods. So me and her
know that we need to change it. We actually invested in the juicer. We're going to start using it, buy more fruits and vegetables and start juicing. But it's a step. It's a step in the right direction. So we're excited. Yeah. And you hit on something that's interesting is that the pandemic forced many of us to dramatically shift behaviors. Not that we necessarily wanted to, but we were forced into it. Then as we've started transitioning back into normal life, many of us have just adopted back
into the same exact patterns we had before. Not because we particularly liked them, but that's just what we were comfortable with. We just started unintentionally doing it again. So now I'm eating the same, I'm spending the same, I'm spending my time the same. It's almost like it never happened. And in many instances, that's great, but in some instances, it was a missed opportunity to look at our lives and say, okay, as we phase back into normal
life, I'm never going to do this again. I'm going to forever change this. I'm going to make a dramatic change there. And so if we've missed that opportunity, that's the great thing, is we can at any moment say, okay, today's the day. Today is the day. I'm changing. You don't have to wait for a light switch moment. You don't have to wait for a medical diagnosis to decide to live different. You don't have to get in a car accident to decide to live more
intentionally. You don't have to lose your job to decide, I'm going to not put all of my value and worth in my career. You can just decide today, all right, today I'm going to do it. And then just identify what's something that's important and valuable to you and what's the smallest thing you can do to start implementing that. So one of the reasons I decided to go live, because I started off audio, then I started pre recorded videos, and then I transitioned to live earlier
this year. And one of the reasons, because the audience interaction, it was because I started doing a sports talk radio show Thursdays and Fridays. Big shout out to Brian Snow and Snowman in the Morning with Cole Johnson. But I started doing the show Thursday, Friday, and it's live, and they have a lot of audience participation in the chat and all that. And I'm like, man, I. Like that aspect of it. I like to have people comment and stuff like that so sick. Who's actually he
tunes into Snowman in the Morning. He's an audience member there. And so he comes and he supports my show. He goes cheese and vegetables. Has that Jason Hardwood been in my kitchen where when I wasn't looking? But that's why I enjoyed because the comments like that is to have that. And then he also drops stuff like procrastinating is a big obstacle that although one get it was things like that that made me want to go live and being able to interact because now
it makes it their show as well. Yeah, it's not just my show and my guest show. Now it's the audience show as well, because they get to interact and they get to share their comments. And I really thought that was like, yeah, this is the route I want to go with my show. Yeah, I love it. Procrastination. I think part of that is because we just start to define and as we get older, we get better at kind of defining the current situation as acceptable. And we just say, I don't really
need to change. Change is difficult. This is good enough. This life is good enough. And if you're happy and fulfilled, my gosh, I am so happy for you. I hope that's what you have. My experience was not that my experience was, man, I was grinding and driving and pushing and then was like, what in the world? Why am I still waking up most days unhappy and identifying, what do I have to do? What matters to me? What behaviors bring a sense of happiness and satisfaction? And that made
a big difference for me. But then you really have to decide, like, okay, I'm making a change. Something's got to be different. Yeah, I agree. There's nothing you've said that I don't disagree that I don't agree with, because again, I know I procrastinate and I know I need to change these things. But again, like you said, it's it's easier just to procrastinate. But there's certain things I know I know I don't procrastinate on, and that's doing my podcast and being able to
do this. And there's other things in my life that I need to work on. The food thing where I really need to watch what I eat and the exercise sort of like you but I started with five minutes. There you go. I started with five minutes. Let me give you five minutes. Let's do this. And it's early in the morning. It's doing some leg squats and some it's just something to get me going early in the morning. But eventually I'll probably go to ten minutes, and
hopefully I'm moving up to 15. There you go. One step at a time. Yeah, that's exactly how it works. I try to remind people the first goal is not results. The first goal is just consistency. I know that I know that the amount of working out that I'm doing right now is not going to bring huge long term results. That's okay. I'm just working on getting consistent. And once I get consistent at ten minutes, then it's going to
grow naturally. But if I try to go 30 minutes right out of the gate, it doesn't happen. Right. And things get in the way. You just don't get there. And so then you're frustrated and angry because you haven't gotten to where you want to be, and then you quit. And ten minutes is better than zero minutes. Five minutes is better than zero minutes. So just shoot for short term, and that's okay. It's the beginning of forming a successful habit. That's what it
is. Like you said, yeah, start with five minutes, and then eventually you're like, I can do ten minutes. And then you do the ten minutes, and you're like, oh, man, this is easy. I can do it. But you have to build yourself, because like you said, if you really jump into those people that at the New Year, they're going to the gym hard for the first month, and then after the first month, they're like, man, I'm tired. I don't want to do and they burn
themselves out. But then if they would have started off slow, like, all right, today I'm going to just do ten minutes on the treadmill. Just start the next day. Let me do another ten minutes, and it just starts and just get you going, get you going. Then eventually you start adjusting it. Yeah. I love it. Yeah, you've nailed it. Boom. You're set. I'm far from set. I still got a lot of work. But that's the thing. I know I'm still learning and growing. Yeah. And I'm having fun and
is these conversations that are helping me. It's me being able to learn from someone like you that, hey, listen, this is how you start. Just start with ten minutes. But it's being able to speak to someone like yourself, and eventually it's going to stick. Yeah. And that's the crazy thing for me, is everything that I've tried to implement, none of it was, like, brand new. I write down three things I'm grateful for every morning. It's the way I start off. So mentally, I come at life
from a place of gratitude that helps me. I've heard that for, like, a decade. That's a good idea. And I have, like, a half dozen notebooks with, like, two or three days worth of gratitude statements and then a six month break, and then another day, okay, I'm going to start again. And I could never get consistent with it. And then eventually, boom, I got there. The biggest thing for me was having a great trigger. I changed the environment to where I put my notebook right there
by my desk. And then I mentioned brushing your teeth. For me, it's letting my dog out. We got a dog during COVID And every morning at, like, 05:00 A.m., without fail, that dog starts dancing around our bed. That's why I can't have a dog. It's the worst. I was like, at first I was kind of mad that this was happening, and then I thought, you know what? This is a brilliant habit trigger, because every single day I have to do this action.
So what's the thing I want to do immediately following this action? And for me, it was right in my gratitude journal. And so now I'm more consistent than I've ever been because I let the dog out. Boom. There's my gratitude journal. Boom. I write down three things I'm grateful for.
So just take something you're currently doing, say, brushing your teeth, drinking your morning beverage, taking a shower, putting on your pajamas, setting your alarm, whatever it is, just find something you're doing and say, I do that every day. What's the thing I want to do immediately after that every day? And become real intentional in taking something you're already doing and tying it to something you want to do, and suddenly your success with it will increase
from with me. Every morning, I like to sit down, have my cup of coffee, and just think about how my day is going to go. I wake up shop, hop in the shower, brush my teeth, and have my cup of coffee, and then just sit down and kind of like is meditation. It's kind of like my form of meditation, just sitting here, just reflecting and looking at, like you said, what is it that I want to get
accomplished today? What are two things that I really want to get done that I need to get done that by the end of the day, I could be like, all right, I got those things done now. Tomorrow is two new things I got to conquer. Yeah. You create this pattern, right? Used to be I just drank my coffee maybe while I was frantically getting ready in the morning. Now I've tied in. All right? But I'm going to
sit, I'm going to contemplate, I'm going to write down. And so I drink coffee every morning, so I might as well tie it to something else that's important to me that can become a powerful trigger in making consistency in your behavior. All right, Jason, this has been fun, man. I appreciate you coming on the show. Yeah. Habits are, like, the most fun thing ever to talk about.
