Wowsa! Day #3 of EOS Conference in the books! ✅ Transformational Highlight: James Clear, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, Atomic Habits, as our closing keynote, "Atomic Habits: How to Get 1% Better Every Day" 🔥 When we think about habits in EOS, we think about PROCESS component. And don't we all want to strengthen our Process component to get to 80%+ strong as individuals and organizations? 🙌 Here are some takeaways: 🔸 They are the "aggregation of marginal gains" 🔸 If you're struggling to improve, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. 🔸 Excellence is not about radical changes, but about accruing small improvements over time. Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement. ↳The power of tiny gains: 1% better every day gets us 37.78 better after 365 days! 🔸 You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. It's about your alignment between your desired outcomes and your daily habits. 🔸 There are four stages to habit formation (and four laws of behavior change): 1. Cue - A trigger that tells your brain to initiate a habit (Law 1: Make it obvious) 2. Craving - The predicton that compels you to act (Law 2: Make it attractive) 3. Response - The actual habit you perform (Law 3: Make it easy) 4. Reward - The result that satisfies your craving (Law 4: Make it Satisfying) 🔸 The inversion of this for habits we want to break: 1. Cue - Make it invisible 2. Craving - Make it unattractive 3. Response - Make it difficult 4. Reward - Make it unsatisfying 🔸 One of the most overlooked drivers of your habits is your physical environment. ↳ If you want a habit to be a big part of your life, make the cues a big part of your environment. ↳The power of the social environment (join groups where your desired behavior is the normal behavior) ↳James has never seen a person consistently stick to positive habits in a negative environment. 🔸 And the one greatest takeaway James urges us, if only one: the "Two -Minute Rule"? ↳Scale down your intended habit into something that only takes two minutes or less. ↳The idea is to make it so easy that you can’t say no. Want to read more? → Read one page. Want to run every day? → Put on your running shoes. Want to write a book? → Write one sentence. 🔸 Don't break the chain 🔸 And if you do, never miss twice. Finally: "Here's the secret to this talk: It's not just about the little habits. It's about believing something new about yourself." We can all change our identity. There's some Saturday inspiration for us ALL. Let's GO! What's something you want to get 1% better at every day?
