The main thing is that I ship something every Monday and Thursday and of course I'm going to try my best each time. But what I've realized is that occasionally there will be a dud of an article, but that's a cost that I'm willing to pay, because I know that if I stick to the schedule every Monday and Thursday, if I show up consistently, then there are going to be some gems in there.
Ever feel overwhelmed by the idea of making big changes in your life? James Clear, a renowned entrepreneur, weightlifter, and travel photographer, believes that small, consistent tweaks can lead to significant transformations. In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Clear about the science and real-world experiences behind habit formation. Clear's insights, drawn from his popular blog JamesClear.com, reveal how incremental improvements—think 1% better each day—can snowball into major life shifts.
Clear dives into the concept of 'the aggregation of marginal gains', emphasizing that steady, small changes are more impactful than dramatic overhauls. He shares practical tips like the 2-Minute Rule, which encourages starting with tasks so simple that you can't say no. This approach helps build momentum and makes it easier to stick to new habits. The conversation also touches on the emotional aspects of habit-building.
Clear discusses the importance of not letting emotions dictate actions and the difference between professionals and amateurs. Professionals stick to their schedules regardless of how they feel, while amateurs let their emotions drive their behavior. One of the most powerful takeaways from this episode is Clear's perspective on failure. He encourages seeing failure as a data point rather than a personal flaw.
By viewing setbacks as opportunities for learning, you can develop a growth mindset that embraces challenges and fosters resilience. Whether you're looking to improve your health, boost productivity, or simply make positive changes in your daily routine, this episode offers actionable advice and inspiration. Tune in to learn how tiny tweaks can lead to transformative habits.
