Three years ago,&nbsp;<a href="https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habits" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Atomic Habits</a>&nbsp;was released. In this groundbreaking book, author&nbsp;<a href="https://jamesclear.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">James Clear</a>&nbsp;asks a complex question “why do we continue our bad habits while neglecting good habits?” While it’s not as easy as simply saying, “I want to be better, hence I’ll stop doing this”, there are some ways that you can&nbsp;convince (and often trick) yourself into developing the habits&nbsp;that will help you create a better life.The first thing to know about habits is that they aren’t a minimal part of your life.&nbsp;Your habits are what your life is built upon. Do you habitually clean your room every week? You’re most likely a clean and well-organized person. Are you constantly looking for ways to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/ways-to-save-money" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">save money</a>? You probably have a decent-sized bank account. If you want to become the “money person” or the “helpful person” or the “intelligent person” you need to&nbsp;start adopting the habits that someone in those positions would have.So how do you&nbsp;<a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/habits-successful-leaders" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">develop a good habit</a>?

James walks through a few key ways to do this, from&nbsp;making habit cues less obvious, to changing your environment, to removing yourself from the choice entirely. One thing is for certain, if you want to change your life for the better, you need to start changing your habits.In This Episode We Cover:How James developed his&nbsp;interest in habits and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/psychology-strategies-successful-investing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">psychology</a>Becoming “the architect” of your habits&nbsp;and not falling victim to poor choicesUnderstand the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/2014-06-28-end-goal-real-estate-game" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">end goal</a>&nbsp;and slowly work your way to itTaking on the actions of someone successful and&nbsp;becoming that identity&nbsp;Why&nbsp;bad habits can be so hard to breakHow long does it take to develop a habit?Intaking media that will&nbsp;change your mindset and influence your actionsAnd&nbsp;So&nbsp;Much More!Links from the Show<a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BiggerPockets Forums</a><a href="https://odcfund.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">OpenDoor Capital</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/biggerpockets" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BiggerPockets Youtube Channel</a><a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/membership-types" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BiggerPockets Pro Membership</a><a href="https://biggerpockets.com/events" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BiggerPockets Events</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/biggerpocketsofficial" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BiggerPockets Facebook Group</a><a href="http://biggerpockets.com/store" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BiggerPockets Store</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beardybrandon" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Brandon's Instagram</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/davidgreene24/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">David's Instagram</a><a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/wp-admin/post.php?post=94284&amp;action=edit&amp;classic-editor" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BiggerPockets Podcast 254: Tim Ferriss on Real Estate, Becoming a Top Performer and His Tribe of Mentors</a>Click here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/show485See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.
