The ONE Thing

486. You’re Underestimating How Long It Takes to Form a Habit


Listen Later

‘Tis the season for resolutions. 


Chances are, you’ve hit the new year with a new resolution—something you wanted to change about your life. In this episode, Jay explains how you can actually stick to your resolution and make your new habit last.


Jay breaks down the research behind behavior change and habit formation, giving you three clear actions you need to take to succeed. Plus, he shares the single most impactful habit that he has seen people take on.


Challenge of the Week:

“Choose goals before phone.” When you wake up in the morning, don’t get on your phone first thing. Look at your list of goals. Take 60 seconds to remember what you are prioritizing. Then you can get sucked into the vortex that is your phone.


If you're a bold risk taker who wants to dream big and achieve a higher level of success in your life or business, visit the1thing.com.
