👑

* Focus on being the kind of person who follows through, not just someone who feels good setting goals.

* Keep promises to yourself. You set out to do them for a reason so stop delaying your own happiness and success.

* Make your goals part of your daily routine rather than relying on motivation.

* Take action even if you don’t feel ready. It’ll probably turn out better than you expected.

* Stop delaying progress by making purchases. Yes, you can work out in your comfy clothes you already own. You don’t have to wait until next week when your skims package arrives. Get a week of progress in the meantime.

* Small efforts repeated daily create big changes so start prioritizing consistency above all.

* Setbacks aren’t failure, just hiccups, so drink some water and overcome it.

* Replace "I have to" with "I choose to" to strengthen ownership of your decisions.

* Spend more time tracking your habits than obsessing over outcomes.

* Surround yourself with people, environments, and content that support your goals.

* Celebrate the progress itself, not just milestones, so you stay encouraged along the way.

* Stop waiting for the perfect time and make the most of the time you have today.

* View every choice as a vote for the person you're becoming.

* Remember that lasting success usually comes from making “hard” things into a daily habit so that it becomes a natural lifestyle, not just a 1 month phase where you locked in.

The $1 per hour rule. It’s exactly what it says on the tin. If I’m purchasing physical media, I consider it good value if I can expect to get at least one hour of enjoyment for every dollar I spend on it.

I don’t remember what I spent on BG3, but I know it was a good deal because I’ve logged 600 hours in it. Hades II costs $30, and I was more than happy to pay that because I know I’ll play it for at least 30 hours. When I add books to my library, I almost exclusively buy used books that cost under $5 because 5 hours is a good average estimate for how long it takes me to finish a novel.
