THIS IS THE FASTEST WAY TO 

BREAK A BAD HABIT 

 

When we're trying to change our 

behaviors 

there's some behaviors that we want to 

be experts at and then there's some 

behaviors that we're perfectly fine being 

amateurs at right and and 

on the 


Bottom too as well the habituate or the 

addict there's behaviors that we want to 

stop doing that are low willpower and 

high willpower 

So it's not necessarily the person it's the 

behavior they're trying to change 

But I think you know, you'll find it very 

difficult to become an expert at 

something if if you use the same criteria 

That it takes to become an amateur at 

something if your test to become an 

expert, is is this MEA (Minimum 

Enjoyable Action)? 

You actually won't have the grit and 

perseverance needed to power through 



the times that are shitty that are hard. So 

most people's problems 

I think when it comes to the fitness 

space in particular is that we train 

Like we're experts 

Even though what we want is an 

amateur behavior 

All right 

We go to the gym and we have the 

mentality that we need a trainer and 

fitness programs and you know 

We need to, you know, no pain, no gain, 

and it's got to hurt or it doesn't work 

And that's that's the experts mentality 

I've written on this article 

you alluded to called why fitness apps 

make you fat because what we find is 

that when you when you take that 

mindset in the 

Expert quadrant of you know, I've got to 

figure out the expert quadrant is all 

about figuring out your mistakes 

And it's got to be in some way painful in 

a way or else you're not gonna get better 

what that means 



Is that people are doing exercise that 

they hate which means it's not going to 

be sustainable. Not only that 

We know that that that when you suffer 

at something there's this phenomenon 

called moral licensing 

That when we feel like we've sacrificed 

in one area of our lives 

It's like squeezing on a balloon right 

when we feel like we're being good in 

one area of our lives 

We cheat in other areas of our life, right? 

I squeezed on this side of the blue and 

the other and we've seen this 

phenomenon occur time and time again 

we find that when people 

Buy green products, they're actually less 

kind though 

They're less likely to help someone 

who's just fallen down in front of them 

after they've sacrificed by buying 

an ecologically sound product some of 

the highest insurance rates on the road 

today 


Are from a car that that you wouldn't 


expect it's not Ferraris and 

Lamborghinis. Some of the highest 

insurance rates are for 

Blue Priuses 

Right, right because there's this effect of 

moral licensing: if we're good in one 

area, we're allowed to be bad in other 

areas 


So how does this play out in the fitness 

world? Well, 

i just you know sweated it out on the 

treadmill for 30 minutes, and I've you 

know, it was so difficult and I you know 

I I I did it. I I I 

I persevered and it was so hard for me. I 

didn't enjoy a second of it. I deserve a 

Jamba Juice 

with 60 grams of sugar 

and, you know, 600 calories, even 

though I only burned what like 300 

calories on the treadmill 

I deserve a reward and unfortunately 

I think when bringing it back to the 

technology industry a lot of fitness apps 

today only look at that side of the 



equation 

They're only about getting your step 

counts because they're using the expert 

mode as opposed to the amateur level 

So we talked about the top of that 

behavior change matrix, right? 

These do behaviors that are either low 

willpower or high willpower 

at the bottom of that behavior change 

matrix are the don't 

Behaviors the things we want to stop 

doing and so there again we have low 

willpower and high willpower 

So what I've utilized it in my life, is it 

using a technique I call progressive 

extremism 

progressive extremism and the idea is 

that 


You know the problem with diets and 

the reason that diets make us fat is that 

they train our brains to anticipate 

Scarcity and of course what you're 

doing when you train the brain to do 

something is that you're heightening the 

awareness you're making us 



You know these diets train us to expect. 

Okay, I'm suffering today 

but as soon as this diet ends and I'm you 

know 


I can fit into my wedding dress or the 

graduation ceremony comes or here's 

my goal by the end of the year 

I'm gonna you know be at this weight as 

soon as I free myself from that diet and 

that's that's the problem 

So instead of saying, you know a diet 

that has this 

Time-based end point what I advocate 

for is progressive extremism. So pick 

something 

That you know, you want to stop eating 

in this case if food is what word is the 

behavior 

we're trying to change, and the criteria is 

pick something that you can give up 

without too much trouble 

But you can give it up for the rest of 

your life 

Why would I want to do something 

temporarily and then go back to eating 



the way I used to eat? 

That doesn't make any sense. Of course. 

I'm going to gain the weight 

I want to make a permanent change and 

so I started out with my the first thing 

that I 


excised from my life was candy corn 

and so I just cut them out and say I'm 

never eating candy corn ever again 

And then what happened and I kept 

track. I kept track of everything I gave 

up 


And then maybe like a week or two 

later, I'd assess and say hey that wasn't 

so hard. What else 

could I give up? And then I would give 

up another thing 

And another thing. Then I think the 

thing I gave up was no sugary drinks in 

the house 

Okay, I can have sugary drinks outside 

the house. No sugary drinks in the 

house ever again for the rest of my life 

It's a rule progressive extremism 

So I went up this chart kind of more and 



more and more things that I was giving 

up until I gave up 

You know, just last June I gave up 

refined sugars completely 

It's just not something I do now when 

okay, people have no trouble saying Oh 

candy corn easy. That's great 

But then you say okay. I'm gonna give 

up all refined sugars and people say oh 

that's not so cool anymore 

but of course that's that's the natural 

progression of what you're doing here is 

you're using this this this phenomenon 

of 


Self-image that when you talked about 

self-image earlier and how we can 

actually utilize how we see ourselves to 

boost our willpower 

there's been a lot of studies that show 

that when people 

Identify a behavior that they they do or 

don't do as part of who they are it 

becomes much easier to resist for 

example 


if you're a vegetarian if you're a devout 


Muslim if you're 

An Orthodox Jew you're not constantly 

asking yourself 

Should I eat the meat or should I have 

some beer or should I have some pork 

right? 


Like that's not a debate you're having on 

a constant basis. You just don't do that 

because that's who you are 

Right? If I'm a devout Muslim, I just 

don't drink that's just what I do. If I'm a 

vegetarian, I just don't eat meat 

It's no longer a debate of should I can I 

is it okay. I just don't 

Right, whereas many diners they think 

to themselves 

Well, should I should I not should I 

have the cake and what they're doing is 

expending this willpower resource that 

over time 

you know, there's a lot of evidence that 

shows becomes depleted and it becomes 

very hard. It's this constant struggle. But 

by doing this progressive 

extremism and saying look, that's just 



one thing I just don't eat and taking it 

slowly. I mean this has to take years to 

Scale up. You're constantly you're 

constantly excising 

things from your life from your diet 

But for the rest of your life and it's using 

that same principle of this is just who I 

am 


I just don't eat those things. So that that's 

the shift is changing your mindset 

Oh, this is something I just don't do 

versus something I can't do which  

"can't" means "well, maybe it's flexible" 

versus something 

I just do not do
