3 Rules to Change Your Life in 3 Minutes

Tutorial: Three Habit Frameworks to Change Your Life in Three Minutes

Step 1: Understand the Atomic Habits Framework

1. Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you want to become.
2. Choose actions that align with the version of yourself you want to be.
3. For example, eating an apple for breakfast is a vote for the healthy version of yourself, while eating donuts is a vote for the unhealthy version.
4. Remember, you only need the majority of votes to make a significant change.
5. Focus on making decisions that align with the better version of yourself.

Step 2: Differentiate Between Rewards and Celebrations

1. Rewarding yourself with an incentive like ice cream is extrinsic motivation.
2. Celebrating your wins, even with simple actions like a fist pump, releases dopamine and reinforces your habits.
3. Cultivate intrinsic motivation by finding pride in your achievements rather than relying on external rewards.
4. Celebrate your successes with small gestures that trigger a sense of accomplishment.

Step 3: Implement the Mini-Habit Framework

1. Scale your habits down to a mini version that is "stupidly simple" to do.
2. Choose a task that is so easy you would hate yourself for not doing it, like doing one push-up against a wall each day.
3. By making it an option rather than an obligation, you retain control over the task.
4. Use reverse psychology to trick your brain into doing more than the minimum on some days.
5. Apply this concept to various habits, such as playing one chord on the guitar or reading one sentence a day.
6. Keep the tasks simple and achievable to build momentum in forming new habits.

Step 4: Start Your Habit Quest

1. Begin a new series called "Habit Quest" where you focus on implementing these frameworks in your daily life.
2. Make sure your actions are actionable and practical to see real change.
3. Stay committed to making decisions that align with the person you aspire to be.
4. Check out the next video in the series for more insights and guidance on changing your habits.

By following these three habit frameworks and incorporating them into your daily routine, you can make significant changes in your life and work towards becoming the best version of yourself.
