So what you do is you get rid of the temptation.

Same thing with people who are trying to battle drug addictions.

They're told never carry more than $20 of cash in your pocket because it's so

you're gonna run into some guy who's trying to sell you drugs.

And if you got the money, it's burning a hole in your pocket, you buy the drugs.

I don't think we can trust our future selves.

When we're in a moment of reflection, we can think about who we wanna be, it's worth setting into place some walls.

Oh, we're terrible at all this stuff.

I mean, take New Year's resolutions.

I mean, everybody makes New Year's resolutions.

They rarely last a week or two before they drop off.

People get busy.

People get tired or whatever.

So it's just as important with the positive things to hook things to that.

For example, this idea of putting money on the line, there are various websites where you can do this.

You say, okay, look, I'm going to put, you know, 50 bucks on the line that I want to be able to bench 250 by this date or something like that.

And then you've given your money to this company and you have to get to that point so you get your money back.

There are lots of ways to do this.

You know, obviously putting... I think you had James Clear on a little while ago.

And there's all kinds of good ideas that he's got about, you know, put your running shoes near the door or whatever so that it's easy.
