My apologies for not posting yesterday🙏🏼. I wasn’t in the best shape. Also, I will be replying to all the comments as well. So here is Chapter 13.
The chapter starts with emphasizing “decisive moments”. Personally, I will skip this one.
THE TWO-MINUTE RULE TO RULE THEM ALL!
Even when you know you should start small, it’s easy to start too big. When you dream about making a change, excitement inevitably takes over and you end up trying to do too much too soon. The two-minute rule states that “When you start a new habit, it should take less than two minutes to do.”
People often think it’s weird to get hyped about reading one page meditating for one minute or making one sales call. But the point is not to do one thing. The point is to master the habit of showing up. The truth is, a habit must be established before it can be improved. If you can’t learn the basic skill of showing up, then you have little hope of mastering the finer details. Instead of trying to engineer a perfect habit from the start, do the easy thing on a more consistent basis. You have to standardize before you can optimize.
Start something first. Start slow and try to be critical along the way of your own methods. Do not be arrogant to think “this is it”. At this stage of mindset, growth will cease to exist. Standardize before you optimize. You can’t improve a habit that doesn’t exist.
