HERO

Page 15: How to be awesome one habit at a time

Here’s why Hero Habits

matter

Page 16: How to be awesome one habit at a time

You use habits to get through the day*, so you might as well create good ones.

40% of what you do every day is done out of habit (Duke University)

Habits free up brain power so you can be more creative, intuitive (even happier.)

Page 18: How to be awesome one habit at a time

You build a Hero Habit with these four questions:

Page 19: How to be awesome one habit at a time

(1) what’s the problem?“I leave things to the last minute. And it gets me in trouble.” (write that down)

Page 20: How to be awesome one habit at a time

(2) Why do I do it?“I do it because I think somehow I’ll avoid the hard work.”

Page 21: How to be awesome one habit at a time

(3) What will I do instead?1) break big projects into 20 minutes chunks, 2) block time on my calendar, 3) use my 20 minute blocks to only work on

one project (like I am right now)

Page 22: How to be awesome one habit at a time

(4) What’s the reward?“I’ll feel relief to get the work done. Plus, I get to cross it off my list.”

Great! Now follow your plan.
