15. One Habit at a Time

ONE HABIT AT A TIME

The turning point in my life happened when I finally started to address one habit at a time. I am a voracious reader and collected 100s of new habits to try. I must have spent about 10 years trying to change my life and habits all at once. Like the novice juggler, one ball is easy, two much harder and three? Well they just drop them all. Repeatedly.


Make a pact to change just one thing alone and don’t move on to the next one until you are ready. Another great reason to do one thing at a time is so you know what works and what doesn’t. Carry on doing what works and ditch what doesn’t work.
