The One Thing Rule helps create sustainable habits by focusing your energy on just one change at a time rather than overwhelming yourself with multiple competing priorities. When you pour your energy into a single habit, it has the opportunity to take root and become a natural part of your day without requiring constant willpower.

• Reflect on a habit that worked well for you in the past and what made it effective
• Multiple habits compete for your energy and create multiple opportunities to feel like you're failing
• Choose one small habit that feels light, doable, and meaningful
• Ensure your chosen habit is realistic enough to do even on your busiest day
• Small actions like three deep breaths before work can replace more time-intensive versions of habits
• Visualize yourself doing the habit tomorrow to see if it feels right in your body
• Text yourself your one thing and set a reminder for the next two weeks

Tomorrow we'll shrink your habit even more until it's so small you literally can't fail.
