Clear believes that to create lasting change we need to focus on changing ourselves and our beliefs. Rather than relying solely on results as goals, we should create a better sense of self by creating habits that resemble what we want to do. By accepting new behavior and becoming the person we want to be, we can change our beliefs and achieve lasting change.

1. Focus On Personal Behavior

Clearly demonstrating the importance of being the behaviors we want to see more of in our environment. He recommends using tips such as putting exercise clothes next to the bed or putting books on the main shelf to remember and get done. By creating physical and digital environments that support our desired behaviors, we can make it easier for us to stick to them.

2. Positive Attitudes

Habit hoarding involves connecting new habits to existing ones, creating clear cues and making it easier to stick to them. By integrating the desired behavior with previously established processes, we can use existing automatic behavior to help us create new behavior more easily. Clear provides examples and practical tips for using Habit Stacking effectively in your daily life.

3. Master the Art of Habit Hording

The two minute rule suggests breaking big habits into smaller, more manageable tasks that can be completed in a few minutes. By making starting the habit as easy as possible, we can overcome the inertia that often keeps us from taking action. Clear believes getting started is the most important step because it creates momentum and leads to ongoing risk.

4. Follow the two minute rule

Tracking our habits helps measure and manage progress based on our efforts. Clear recommends using a behavior tracker to record each instance of desired behavior; because it not only holds us accountable, but also provides a sense of satisfaction and motivation. By seeing the light of continuous improvement, our chances of living forever increase.

5. Use Habit Tracking

To make a character stick, Clear recommends adding something interesting to the character. By associating positive emotions or rewards with behavior, we reinforce the desired behavior and increase the risk of recurrence. It also highlights the importance of immediate reward over delayed gratification, as it helps reinforce behavior.

6. Make a Character Interesting

It clearly shows the impact of the environment on our behavior. We can easily adhere to our physical, social and cultural environments by harmonizing them with our desired behaviors. This may include eliminating temptation, surrounding yourself with like-minded people, or finding an environment that encourages positive behavior.

7. Create an environment that supports your behavior

Openly accept that setbacks and challenges are inevitable in the habit building process. He suggests breaking habits into smaller pieces, examining specific issues or problems, and finding ways to change and overcome them. By addressing the root causes of obstacles, we can develop strategies that will ensure the flow of our behavior.

8. Overcoming obstacle by creating habits

It clearly shows the combination of small behaviors over time. Just as financial investment can increase exponentially, small improvements in attitudes and behaviors can lead to personal and professional growth. By showing up regularly, we can use the power of compound interest to achieve long-term change, even if the immediate benefits seem small.

9. Recognize the power of behavior as combination

Clearly demonstrates the importance of continuous improvement. It encourages people to examine, reflect, and adjust their behavior as they progress. By experimenting, adapting, and learning from experience, we can improve our behavior and continue to change for the better.
