Most people lose because they try to change their whole life at once.
Haven't you done this before?
Like you want to get thin, launch the business, fix the marriage, write the book, meditate, learn Spanish, drink enough water.
For one week, you pick one war to wage.
Not get healthier, train five times.
Not grow the business, send 50 offers.
Not, I want to become a writer, write seven ugly pages every morning.
That one target becomes an obsession.
That's why I love the story about Benjamin Franklin.
He got this centuries ago.
So he built a virtue chart which focused on one single virtue at a time.
Then he would track his failures at this daily.
So he used the week as a unit of character change.
So this week have I been just.
This week have I been true.
That's how real progress works.
Like you don't do something vague.
You have a concentrated attack and you track it.
So if you try to improve at everything, you'll actually improve nothing.
