Welcome to the Boom Boom Performance Podcast, your resource for science-based training and nutrition,

data-driven coaching, and education-focused content. Before we get into this podcast, I just want to say

thank you for taking the time to listen and learn with me so that you can apply what you are

about to learn, take my strategies, use these tools, and finally have

some serious methods to see sustainable success with your physique, your mind, and your life.

This podcast was built on the foundation of applied education, and I'm excited for you to be here

so you can have that experience with me. Now without any further ado,

let's get on to the show.

All right, people, this marks episode two of the minisodes. This is Monday motivation number two.

And today we're going to talk about habit tracking.

So first and foremost, if you have not read Atomic Habits by James Clear, pause this podcast, head over to Audible or Amazon and get the damn book.

It is honestly one of my favorite books.

And it's funny because it is one of those things.

There's a big lesson from my experience reading this book. I actually avoided reading it,

even though people kept recommending it to me because I felt that my time was better utilized elsewhere.

I thought, man, I have a daily routine. I've locked in my habits. I'm healthy. I'm productive.

I don't need to read a book about habits. Like, my habits are on lock. What's the point of that? The reality was is that that book was a tremendous help in my coaching. It allowed me to communicate productive habit change and behavior change and lifestyle change to my clients 10 times fucking better.

It made my coaching practice better. It made my client's results better. And it allowed me to understand the psychological benefit behind tracking these habits. So as I was doing it, I was just

doing it because I wanted to be successful. But once I learned the science behind why I needed to do

this or how I could do it in a smarter approach, it allowed me to build better habits, more

efficient habits, and more habits in general that allowed more success. And I think the same exact

principle goes along with nutrition. If I give you a meal plan, great, follow it, it might work.
