3. Create a Set of Rules to Keep You Moving Toward Your Goals

You will face forks in the road where you must deliberate between following through or giving up.

Instead of relying on willpower every single time, having rules for yourself can help you make the hard decisions.

"We can create rules that specify how we make every decision (no exceptions) to help us accomplish our goals."

Rules hold you accountable, guide your worldview, and direct your daily actions.

A good example of a rule is to always complete two tasks on your to-do list for your goal every day.

It’s simply unacceptable not to do this—you must complete the steps no matter what.
