Develop a precommitment strategy to prevent failure from "summary" of ATOMIC HABITS - Summarized for Busy People by Goldmine Reads

When it comes to building good habits, many people focus on motivation and willpower. However, these are not enough to sustain long-term behavior change. One effective strategy is to develop a precommitment strategy to prevent failure. This means making a plan ahead of time to deal with potential obstacles and challenges that may arise. By creating a precommitment strategy, you are setting yourself up for success by anticipating and addressing potential roadblocks that could derail your progress. This could involve setting up accountability systems, creating reminders, or making it more difficult to engage in undesirable behavior. For example, if you want to eat healthier, you could precommit by meal prepping for the week, removing unhealthy snacks from your home, or enlisting a friend to hold you accountable. By taking these steps ahead of time, you are less likely to give in to temptation when faced with a challenging situation. Precommitment strategies can also help you stay on track when motivation is low. By having a plan in place, you are more likely to follow through on your intentions even when you don't feel like it. This can help you build momentum and make progress towards your goals, even on days when you are feeling unmotivated.
