- The principle of responsibility: Do your own dishes! --Luke 16:10
- The principle of clarity: writeit down! --Proverbs 20:5
- The principle of inertia: Do it now! --Proverbs 24:30-34
- The principle of restoration: Turn it off! --Hebrews 4:9-11

| 0:00.0 | Habits are very powerful things. Someone has rightly observed, you are the accumulation of all your habits. |
| 0:09.5 | I've discovered six habits that allow you to go from good to great. In our last broadcast, |
