In this episode Matt talks about the importance of a having a clear strategy and plan when trying to establish new habits.  45% of our actions in life are habitual, automatic and require no thought. Will power is finite and is often taken up for things like decision making at work and reacting to life as it happens.

The challenge therefore is to install the right habits in that 45% which is automatic and requires no thought and therefore no will power. Matt discusses the value of picking one keystone habit that will have the biggest compound effect on all areas of your life and gives you some practical tips on making these new habits stick.

Anyone is capable of positive change but it happens gradually, there are no overnight successes. Every new habit you adopt builds confidence and creates momentum towards the best version of you.
