- Thread

1. "Humans are basically habit machines. I think learning how to break habits is actually a very important meta-skill and can serve you in life almost better than anything else."

2. "Habits are good. Habits can allow you to background process certain things so that your neocortex, your frontal lobe, stays available to solve brand new problems."

3. "When building habits, choose consistency over content. The best book is the one you can’t put down. The best exercise is the one you enjoy doing every day. The best health food is the one you find tasty. The best work is the work you’d do for free."

4. "Changing habits:

Pick one thing. Cultivate a desire. Visualize it. Plan a sustainable path. Identify needs, triggers, & substitutes. Tell your friends. Track meticulously. Self-discipline is a bridge to a new self-image. Bake in the new self-image. It’s who you are, now."

5. "Breaking habits is a skill, and it is something you can learn. Start with a small habit and try different techniques to break it. Try substituting. Try going cold turkey. Try weaning yourself off.

6. "All the benefits in life come from compound interest - relationship, money, habits - anything of importance."

7. "Although you can read tons of books on it (changing habits), the reality is you’re never going to learn how to break bad habits until you just break them."
