And you're like, well, too bad.
You're doing sprints day one and every day.
They're like, they're not going to stick to it for a long time in the same way.
The same idea applies to nutrition where the norm is to cut out all their favorite foods because they think they're automatically bad and have to go.
And I'm like, no, I want you to keep your favorite foods as much as you can, but can we be a little bit more judicious about, a little bit more intentional about our portions?
And then the other easy thing you can do too is, again, when you do an audit, you're like, oh, I see you like to eat this handful of the candy bowl at your desk when you're working.
Are you even paying attention to the candy when you're, they're like, no, I'm in a meeting and I'm putting it in my mouth because I'm bored.
And you're like, okay, so they're actually mindless calories that you don't even enjoy.
If you're not gonna miss them, if we take it away,
why don't we get rid of why don't we move again from a behavior behavior change standpoint why don't we move the candy bowl to somewhere that is more inconvenient for you to access even simple things like changing it from a clear bowl to an opaque bowl and putting it at the back of the closet where you can't it's not an arm's reach anymore where you have to stand up open the closet grab a step stool you make it harder for you to get to
The easier thing is to not eat it.
So why don't you make the default behavior the thing you actually want to do?
And the thing you don't want to do less of, how can you make that behavior more inconvenient for yourself?
So basically, what you want to do is, this is not my quote, you want to design for laziness, okay?
Yeah, yeah.
So there's an example.
This is not mine.
I think I read it in a book.
I was like, oh, that makes complete sense.
So there was an anecdote of a guy who wanted to practice his guitar more often.
