Edward E. Wilson

1. Know what behaviour you want to change.

2. Know why you haven’t changed it yet.

3. Know why you want to change it now.

4. Commit to making the necessary changes now and over the long term.

5. Set things up to make it easier to do what you want and harder to do what you don’t want.

6. When you notice yourself wanting to do what you’ve chosen not to do, or not wanting to do what you’ve chosen to do, push through and make the better choice.

7. Regularly recognize and reward yourself for following through on your goals.

8. If you fall short of your goals, don’t berate yourself, instead figure out why it happened, make changes to your plan of action, and recommit to your goals.
