The Mel Robbins Podcast · The Science of Making & Breaking Habits: How to Change Your Life in 1 Month · 8 Jan 2026 podcast

It's like fix the inputs and the outputs will fix themselves.

Fix the daily habits and you'll be led to a different destination.

You know, in some ways, I feel like the two timeframes that matter most in life are like 10 years and one hour.

So 10 years is shorthand for like, what are the big meaningful things you really care about in life?

I mean, you sit there and think about most of us, like, what do we really want to do?

You know, want to have a marriage that we're proud of or raise kids that are successful or to build a business that thrives or to get in the best shape of your life.

Whatever it is, whatever that big thing is, it's almost always a multi-year, sometimes a multi-decade process.

So 10 years is shorthand for like, what's that big vision?

And then one hour is shorthand for what can I do in the next hour that contributes to where I want to be in 10 years?

You know, like never let a day pass without doing something that is going to benefit you in a decade.

And if you can live in those two mind frames, if you can have like both this long-term vision and this bias for short-term action, you don't let a day pass without doing something that's going to benefit you 10 years from now, you don't even need to wait 10 years usually.

Usually it's like a year or two and you're shocked by how much progress you've made.

So procrastinating on something important is choosing to delay a better future.

So you know this is important to you.

You know this is important to your life, but not taking action on it.

Now you're just pushing, kicking the can down the road, right?

Pushing the results further and further out.

And so by you, the question you asked me was, if I take this seriously and I follow through on these things, how will life change?

And the answer is you'll no longer be delaying a better future.

You'll be working toward it.
