The goal is to overcome the fear of &quot;forever&quot; by focusing on small, daily movements rather than massive, unsustainable efforts. Step 1: Define Your &quot;Micro Practice&quot; Create a habit that is linked to a larger goal but is so small that it is impossible to fail. Too Small to Fail: Don't aim for a marathon; aim for putting on your shoes. If you do it once, it means little, but over time, the compound interest is massive. Focus on the Start: The hardest part is the first 10 seconds. Focus entirely on getting over the hump of starting (e.g., getting on the treadmill for just 2 minutes). Examples: One extra phone call, deep breaths, or reading a single page. Step 2: Time Block Your Priorities Treat your new habit like a non-negotiable appointment with yourself. Be Realistic: Don't block out for 4 hours if you don't have them. Block out a specific, realistic window (e.g., 15 minutes). Remove the Decision: By scheduling it, you remove the mental energy of deciding if or when you will do it. It becomes automatic. Non-Negotiable: Treat this time slot with the same respect you give a doctor's appointment or a child's game. Step 3: Habit Stack &amp;amp; Remove Friction Anchor your new micro practice to a &quot;Bedrock Habit&quot; - something you already do automatically every day (like brushing your teeth, pouring coffee, or getting out of bed). The Formula: Identify a trigger (Bedrock Habit) Perform the Micro Practice immediately after. &quot;Set Up Your Next Shot&quot;: Use the billiards strategy. Prepare the night before to remove friction (e.g., lay out your running clothes so you don't spend 15 minutes looking for shoes).1 The Supersets Analogy: Like in weightlifting, pair two activities together so the momentum of one carries you into the other. &amp;nbsp; Key Quote &quot;Consistency in itself isn't a bad thing for progress, it really is a great thing for progress... If you want to achieve results, you have to be consistent.&quot; &amp;nbsp; ARN Suggested Reading: Blessings In the Bullshit: A Guided Journal for Finding the BEST In Every Day – by Mark Cardone &amp;amp; Theron Feidt https://www.amazon.com/Blessings-Bullshit-Guided-Journal-Finding/dp/B09FP35ZXX/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;amp;keywords=blessings+in+the+bullshit&amp;amp;qid=1632233840&amp;amp;sr=8-1 Full List of Recommended Books: https://www.achieveresultsnow.com/readers-are-leaders Questions? 1.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Do you have a question you want answered in a future podcast? 2.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Go to www.AchieveResultsNow.com to submit.
