| 0:00.0 | Every so often, however, I do a solo podcast around a topic that I think is quite important and can be presented by myself based on my own background and experiences and this is one of them. |
| 0:19.0 | This is one of the weeks where I'm doing a solo podcast and kind of think of the title as being habit change. |
| 0:31.8 | Is it hard or easy to do? |
| 0:34.0 | Well, I think what we're going to try to do is encourage you to recognize that number one, it's something that we all have to do at times, |
| 0:46.4 | either eliminate bad ones and still good ones, and that it's something that can be easy if we're doing it right. Now I'm not choosing |
| 0:59.9 | this title by accident, actually a year ago, as some of you undoubtedly recall and some of you |
| 1:07.2 | may have attended, we had the Global summit on habit change. |
| 1:16.5 | I was one of the originators of it, |
| 1:20.8 | along with a colleague Claudia Garbert who works in Germany and we had three |
| 1:28.8 | half days of speakers dealing with a gamut of habit change topics, really a terrific lineup, all kinds |
| 1:39.7 | of information about habit changing and we have the replays available at a very low price. |

| 2:08.0 | There will be a link in the show notes so that you'll be able to be taken directly to that and you can purchase the summit. |
| 2:17.2 | But this podcast stands alone. |
| 2:20.8 | What I'd like to do is summarize some of the really key things with respect to habit change to enable you to more effectively work on either getting rid of some bad habits or instilling some new ones and none of us is perfect enough that we don't need to make one of those changes or certainly more of those changes, |
| 2:47.0 | getting rid of some bads, instilling some good ones, and probably a little bit of both. |
| 2:55.6 | First of all, I'd like to start out by saying that there are two major books on habit change. |
| 3:00.3 | And if you're serious about it, I mean, these are really great books. |
| 3:04.2 | One is called Atomic Habits, and it is written by James Clear, atomic habits, |
| 3:14.0 | and the other is called tiny habits |
| 3:18.0 | by B.J. Fogg, Fogg, Fogg, |
| 3:22.0 | Fogg. Now, they both have somewhat similar approaches, even though they're also somewhat different, |
