The Quiet Standard

The Pocket Token — Carry One Object That Prompts Repair and Keeps Standards


Listen Later

Small slips compound into character loss when they go unaddressed. The Pocket Token is a compact, practical discipline: choose one small object you carry daily (coin, bead, sliver of leather) and assign it one clear meaning—if you notice a lapse in a standard, touch the token, say one sentence that owns the slip, then perform one short corrective action before the day moves on. James explains the behavior‑change logic: physical cues interrupt autopilot, immediate repair converts regret into restoration, and private tokens keep accountability humane rather than performative. The episode gives selection rules for tokens, three exact ownership+repair scripts for work, family, and personal habits, a 7‑day micro‑trial to test whether the token reduces repeat lapses, and a short installation ritual you can run tonight. Practical, portable, and dignity‑preserving: use one small object to make repair fast, private, and effective. If this matters to you, subscribe and pick your Pocket Token tonight.
