One of the main ways to start achieving more is to design your environment to maximize opportunities to practice good habits.

The author suggests that it is ultimately frequency that makes the difference and that a habit will be formed when it has been performed with enough frequency.

He uses this example to illustrate the point that motion is different from taking action. Motion involves strategizing and learning, while action involves actually doing and making mistakes that are instructive. Motion is useful, but only action leads to results.

Sometimes, the fact that habits are problem-solving processes is not consciously recognized.

The author suggests using the following strategy: I will (BEHAVIOUR) at (TIME) in (LOCATION). For example, ‘I will exercise for one hour at 5 p.m. in my local gym'. This practice gives the desired habit a time and space to live in the world.

habits are easier to change in a new environment.

It works by tying a desired new habit to an action you are already completing regularly.

if you want to form a habit, make it obvious, attractive, easy to accomplish, and satisfying. If you want to break a habit, make it invisible, unattractive, difficult, and unsatisfying.

focus on values and principles to drive the identity rather than focusing on goals and outcomes.
