Checkout the podcast interview with James Clear to find out how to create powerful and everlasting habits for success.

1. Start Small

You have to start with a version of the habit that is incredibly easy for you. It must be so easy that you can’t say no to doing it and so easy that it is not difficult at all in the beginning.

2. Build on your habit each day

You have to increase your habit each day, but in an incredibly small way.

3. Always Keep It Simple!

Even after increasing your habit, all repetitions must remain easy. The total habit should be broken down into easier pieces if needed.

4. Laser Focus

Focus on what you really want to achieve and remove all surrounding distractions.

5. Generate a System

Plan out how you will stick to your habits, how are you going to stay passionate and focused?

6. Don’t Push Away Your Happiness

Don’t push happiness off until you hit some future milestone. Allow yourself to be happy in the moment. Be happy while you are working on the task. While you are working on building your skill set, rather than thinking it is something you will get to once you are good enough.
