The #1 Habit Mistake That Keeps You Stuck


Listen Later

You want to be healthier. You want to read more. You want to meditate or eat better or finally stick to your habits. So why can’t you?

In this solo episode, Paul explains the #1 mistake most people make when trying to build new habits—and how to fix it with a simple, powerful reframe: make it so easy you can’t not do it.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

  • Why “doing it all” usually leads to doing nothing

  • The firehose analogy (and how it applies to behavior change)

  • How to break habits into puzzle pieces instead of full overhauls

  • Why small, repeatable actions beat big, unsustainable efforts

  • How to build momentum without relying on motivation

🎯 Listener Challenge:
Take one habit you've been struggling to build and cut it in half. Then cut it in half again. Start there.
