James Clear describes how you can improve your life, using small incremental steps that add up to big wins.

Questions we discuss in this episode:

  • How does "what you repeatedly do" affect your identity?
  • How does someone’s context affect their ability to set and maintain good habits? Are good habits only for people of privilege? 
  • How can you maintain habits for people with depression, anxiety or attention deficit?
  • How to form habits when your schedule is not in your control? (if you have kids, etc...)
  • If you do fall out of a habit, what should you do? Revive it, or let it go?
  • What systems and tools can you use to help automate, facilitate or help ingrain healthy habits?
