Keep it to yourself

boy on a pogo stick — Two choices: (1) Jump for joy after you do it. (2) Jump for joy by announcing you’re going to do it. Photo: Me, 10 years old, at cousin’s house.

There’s a sense of accomplishment simply from announcing you are going to do something, like write a book. Announcing is a procrastinator’s miracle drug. Nothing has been accomplished but it feels like a big step has been made. Keep it to yourself and do the work first, then announce your results.

Habit this

Disney Performance Excellence booklet — Picture mid-1990’s. The most ambitious Disney Operational Culture change, Performance Excellence. Clear, concise, compelling. Designed to put everyone on the exact same page. Walt Disney World’s success required a massive sea change. Photo: The summary booklet for the vision: inside is only four double-sided pages.

Habits are what you think and do without thinking. A habit’s purpose is to eliminate decision-making fatigue.
