This is what the past week looked like.
Avocado toast is what's for breakfast.
This house decorated their garage (for Easter? A wedding?).
Inside the garage they had tables set with linens and big flower centerpieces.
This picture doesn't do it justice, but we had a crazy thunderstorm with thunder that shook the whole house and knocked a picture off the wall.
Second pontoon in for the season, woohoo!
Pre dinner vibes.
Socially distance dinner with friends.
Good food and good conversation.

Here are a few of my fave takeaways:
- The
process of building habits is actually the process of becoming yourself.
Habits help develop your deepest beliefs about yourself. Quite literally,
you become your habits
- Decide
the person you want to be and prove it to yourself with small wins.
- Habit
stacking is pairing a new habit with a current habit.
- The
more attractive an opportunity is, the more likely it is to become habit
forming.
- We
tend to adopt habits that are praised and approved by our culture because
we have a desire to fit in and belong.
- Create
an environment where doing the right thing is as easy as possible.
- When
you start a new habit it should take less than two minutes to do. For
example: read before bed each night becomes read one page.
- The
best way to break a bad habit is to make it impractical to do.
- We
are more likely to repeat a behavior when the experience is satisfying. T
- The
first mistake is never the one that ruins you. It is the spiral of
repeated mistakes that follows. Missing once is an accident. Missing twice
is the start of a new habit so don’t break the chain.
- To
identify your habits ask: What feels like fun for me, but work to others?
What makes me lose track of time? Where do I get greater returns than the
average person? What comes naturally to me
- The
Goldilocks Rule states that humans experience peak motivation when working
on tasks that are right on the edge of their current abilities. Not too
hard. Not too easy. Just right.
- The
greatest threat to success is not failure but boredom.
- As
habits become routine, they become less interesting and less satisfying.
We get bored.
- The
only way to become excellent is to be endlessly fascinated by doing the
same thing over and over. You have to fall in love with boredom.
