@chriswillx's North Star for building habits: Don't miss two days in a row.⁠ ⁠ Researchers who studied how people build new habits found three key insights that reinforced his never-miss-twice approach:⁠ ⚡Folks who slipped but got back after it saw their progress pick right back up like the gap never happened. One missed day didn't undo a thing. (PMID: 23211256)⁠ ⚡Every time you successfully recover from a slip, you strengthen what researchers call habit-specific self-efficacy — basically, your confidence that you can stick with this thing. And that confidence makes the habit more automatic over time. It's a feedback loop: Every time you get back on track, you get better at getting back on track. (PMID: 34025512)⁠ ⚡Simpler actions become automatic faster than complex ones. So on the days you're getting back on track, lower the bar. A 10-minute walk counts. You're not trying to be a hero — you're just keeping the pattern alive.⁠ ⁠ Habits should fit your lifestyle. Part of the rhythm, part of the fun.⁠ Link in bio to explore the five habits Williamson swears by. Stay Salty ⚡
