The Core Idea You don't rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems. ## The 4 Laws of Behaviour Change 1. **Make it obvious** — Design your environment so good habits are visible. 2. **Make it attractive** — Bundle habits with things you enjoy. 3. **Make it easy** — Reduce friction. The 2-minute rule. 4. **Make it satisfying** — Reward immediately. ## Identity-Based Habits Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. Instead of "I want to read more", say "I am a reader." ## The Plateau of Latent Potential A 1% improvement every day leads to 37x improvement in a year. Consistency beats intensity.
