Thanks Brian! Again, another excellent summary. Timestamps: 1. Efficient Brains - Our brains will optimize every process/behavior to make them more efficient (like algorithms); thus, it creates habits, to run processes in 'automatic pilot', so we don't have to think about them - 0:55 2. Cue + Routine + Rewards - Old habits CANNOT be deleted, but modified by others more beneficial to us. Cue: facilitate getting started with your tasks by setting/preparing your environment, create a cue that incites you, and makes it easier to get started. Routine: The cycle that runs your habits. Create a process that marks 'very specifically' the tasks/steps you have to do to achieve your goals. Rewards: choose something that you like and can have ONLY after finishing with your tasks. Also, assign a positive feeling to the act of finishing your task. Also, by identifying the cues that lead you to procrastinate, will help you to avoid/change them so they don't trigger a behavior you want to get rid of. Give it enough time, so that you get 'addicted' to it. - 1:54 3. Keystone Habits - Identify what's the 'key' habit that strengthens other habits. For instance, what thing/action/behavior will definitely improve/change your life? Exercising, sleeping, meditation, change in nutrition, reading, studying. - 4:37 4. Exercise + Willpower - Combining physical exercise (physiological positive results) with commitment/determination/discipline (willpower equates or might surpass IQ - similar concept posed in 'Grit', Angela Duckworth's book) - 6:06 5. Believe! - Willpower and habits CAN be changed/modified. Aligned with 'Mindset', Carol Dweck's book) - 7:41

I love these summaries! I would really like to share them with my community.... but as most of my community are Deaf, I only share videos with good quality captions. Unfortunately auto-generated ones are often misleading and confusing.... speech-to-text software still has a long way to go. It's actually really easy to edit the captions in video manager (even I can do it, and I'm not tech-savvy at all!). I would love to see these awesome videos made accessible!
+Pip Cody Ah. Thanks so much for the heads up! We'll definitely work on this going forward! Optimize is now free! Sign up/tell your friends! www.optimize.me
Brian, What a fantastic PN video today! I was listening as I was driving. I have essentially turned my car into a drive time university and PN is one of my new courses lol!! Cue+routine +habit what a great concept. I will be implementing this ASAP. Thanks again for your work and dedication man! You are awesome!
I need to realign some of my habits, and so does my daughter - this will help! I subscribed right away - love your style. (BTW, I fly all over the planet consulting, teaching, and speaking, so many people think I have it wired, but with better habits I could do so much more, and worry so much less.)
Hi Brian :) I've read this book 2 months ago, it's really awesome. This episode as always rocked! Once a day on my break time (cue) I watch one PN episode (routine) and get more wisdom in less time (reward) ;) I loved the GTD class today and I look forward to see the script of it when possible. I remember you saying that you're gonna do it :) I appreciate your effort and feedbacks. Have a great night and see ya.
cristian cris Huge smile. Love your cue + routine + reward! That is so awesome. Scanning notes now and will send pronto-like! :) Appreciate you and hope you have a great night as well! :)
Better sleep and eating a plant-based diet so I have two to focus on being more consistent with or one in every area you know the five basic areas like Business/ finances ,Health, relationships, spiritual, & health is several aspects mental emotional spiritual and physical. So like Miracle morning routine but it can be anytime of the day.
*I am your constant companion.* *I am your greatest helper or heaviest burden.* *I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.* *I am completely at your command.* *Half of the things you do you might as well turn over to me and I will do them - quickly and correctly.* *I am easily managed - you must be firm with me.* *Show me exactly how you want something done and after a few lessons, I will do it automatically.* *I am the servant of great people, and alas, of all failures as well.* *Those who are great, I have made great.* *Those who are failures, I have made failures.* *I am not a machine though I work with the precision of a machine plus the intelligence of a person.* *You may run me for profit or run me for ruin - it makes no difference to me.* *Take me, train me, be firm with me, and I will place the world at your feet.* *Be easy with me and I will destroy you.* *Who am I? I am Habit.*
I had a hard time even powering through this book. Way too much fluff and stories, and it was hard to find the practical stuff. I finally had to give up and just come here and watch Brian's summary. Thanks, Brian!! :)
They provided multiple stories to increase the chance of the reader having a commonality to further understand the concept behind the process of habits
What would be a good habit loop to get yourself to really crave for studying? I really have this problem in my studies(engineering) that the subjects I'm learning are really complex and I really have to put a lot of time into learning and understanding them. Every achievement requires a lot of work and they do not occur very often. So how can I really create a habit loop for studying when it is really exhausting, because I don't really have a good idea and when it comes to habits people mostly mention eating healthy or working out for examples. By the way this video was amazing!
You could try reading Smarter Faster Better also by Charles Duhigg. The main theme is about productivity but there are stuff about motivation, goal setting, learning and managing information.
Ravi Srinivasan Replace it with a NEW keystone!! I like to come back to these questions often: "What's the #1 thing I can start doing that will have the most benefit in my life?" AND, "What's the #1 thing I need to stop doing?!" Yah?!
Lol I’m doing cold showers everyday now 14 days in it’s a lifetime commitment !! Then exercise is next on the list they go together,..... great information going to see if they have it at my library 👍new sub here.
Awesome! I've been waiting for this video :) Hi Brian, if I ask you one, only one, book by Eckhart Tolle to read, which one do you recommend most? ('The Power of Now' or 'A New Earth')
Excellent Book analysis Brian Sir, you have very productively explained the in an efficient manner. For more such efficient guidance i have subscribed your channel as well :D Thank You for that But please help me, you talked of keystone habit, for me it is waking up early, i am little confused as to what should be set as a cue I would be very grateful to you if you can please help me With that :)
+Nishit Mitra Thanks, Nishit! I would make your cue to wake up early something tied to the NIGHT BEFORE. For me, it's turning all electronics off when the sun goes down! :) Other recommend setting an alarm not for when you want to get up but for when you want to wind down! Optimize is now free!

Wow powerful statement on this comment thank you
TruthOverEverything I say this poem to myself, everyday!
Thank you so much for posting that haven’t seen that for a long time going to writ it down !
VERY HELPFUL. THANK YOU.

Thanks, Brian!! :)
The stories were great for me..Better than 7 habits. Did not want to read a textbook
They provided multiple stories to increase the chance of the reader having a commonality to further understand the concept behind the process of habits
this is a very good resume of d book although there are two important concepts left out. 8 out 10. read d book
Good presentation! Subscribed!
Tony Miner Thanks and thanks! Hope you love it and appreciate your support, Tony! :)

Jim Grant Thank you, Jim!!
Hi Brian - thx - you may have covered this elsewhere - but what if the keystone habit is something to quit, rather than take on?
Ravi Srinivasan Replace it with a NEW keystone!! I like to come back to these questions often: "What's the #1 thing I can start doing that will have the most benefit in my life?" AND, "What's the #1 thing I need to stop doing?!" Yah?!
