I am working on a couple strategies for improving how we approach New Year’s resolutions. There’s more to come, but here’s where we begin: You want to create better habits. It’s New Year’s, and you want to start something new. You know most New Year’s resolutions fail within weeks. Change is hard. There’s resistance. There’s effort required. How do we make it easier to get the ball rolling? Momentum is everything. Pick something extremely small and trivial. Something you have are so confident in your ability to do that it might sound embarrassing to tell people. It’s the first step in your New Year’s plan. It could be something like brushing your teeth twice a day, taking your vitamins, deleting Netflix, etc. Very small, very achievable. Now we take this and we make a contract to do it consistently for two weeks. 14 days. Less than 4% of the year. Anyone can do something once, but change takes place when habits are formed. The purpose of this exercise is to demonstrate to yourself that you have the capacity for discipline. To be consistent. To make change. It’s like a warm-up. A stretch before a workout. If you tried to set a PR as your first set of the day, you'd know it's a terrible idea. You'd either get hurt or fail. So don’t try to enact and elaborate New Year’s resolution that requires discipline planning before you stretch that muscle. Finish the two weeks by whatever means necessary. Timers, phone reminders, sticky notes. During that time, feel how a habit forms, what conscious and concentrated effort feels like, and how good it feels to do hard things. Then we can start on the real shit. Comment below what you guys are choosing as your spark. Mine is deleting my personal Instagram profile off of my phone!

We’re getting to that time of year where everyone starts saying they’re going to lose 20 lbs or quit sugar or read 20 books next year. Those are resolutions, and without specificity they are statistically likely to fail. I’m making 2025 plans… A map of what outcomes I’m aiming for and how I’ll make them happen. I’m going to spend a few hours at a coffee shop tomorrow and put pen to paper. I’m curious to know what everyone is aiming for next year… what plans are you making?

Guys, we are starting a book club. I understand it is a fact that most people do not want to commit to reading long books about challenging topics. That is why this book club will include several positional types, who can all benefit and contribute from being in the club. Here's what I mean: -The Vanguards: these guys read. We make the pace, and we for the most part stay on pace. We lead the discussion at meetings and are responsible for helping everybody gain a better understanding of the meat and potatoes of these books. Highest workload, highest reward. -The Dabblers: these guys probably buy the books and keep it on their shelf, but ask ChatGPT to give them summaries of all the chapters. Or watch Reels of people who have read the book. In all honesty, bringing this information to meetings will be super valuable. We love our Dabblers for their breadth of perspective and variety of intel. -The Observers: the observer has not, does not, and will probably never read. However, they still want to learn the content in a more digestible format, ask questions, and be part of a fun club. They can come to meetings, ask thought provoking questions to the readers (which improves the readers' understanding of the content), and learn about the value that others are getting from the books. So, please comment to become part of the club. Once you're in, you get to vote on the books we read! We will have a discussion forum dedicated to the club, and semi-regular meetings to share ideas! Our first book is Jordan Peterson's latest, We Who Wrestle With God.

I’m grateful for the beast who started this community and the beasts who occupy it. Happy Thanksgiving kings.
