Jim Kwik identifies everyday habits like binge-watching, sleeping in, and eating sugar that hold you back. Instead of quitting cold turkey, cut back gradually: one fewer episode, out of bed faster, less sugar. Small reductions compound into real performance gains.
What are you already doing that's not empowering you to the next level of life and you want to do less of? Maybe it is binge watching your favorite streaming show. Maybe you want to cut back one episode a day. Maybe it happens to be staying in bed. You want to be able to get out of bed more quickly. What is the habit or the routine, the behavior you're currently doing, but you'll get benefit by just hacking away and reducing it? You don't have to eliminate it, but you're reducing it. Maybe you want to reduce your sugar intake. Maybe you're quick to anger and you want to spend less time getting angry.
