  • Goal-Setting Workshop Recap

    Thirty-two people joined this quarter's workshop. The exercise that landed best was writing a goal as a scene: a specific moment, six months from now, that would show the goal had been reached.

    Participants then listed the three habits that would make that scene likely, and the one habit they would stop.

  • Building Habits That Stick

    Habits fail when they depend on motivation. They last when they are attached to something you already do and made small enough that skipping them feels silly.

    Anchor, shrink, celebrate

    • Anchor: after I pour my morning coffee, I will…
    • Shrink: write one sentence in my journal, not a page.
    • Celebrate: notice it, even with a quiet yes.

    Grow the habit only after it has run for two weeks without effort. Most people scale up too early and then quit entirely after one bad day.
