  1. The 1% Rule: Clear argues that if you focus on improving just 1% every day, you'll see exponential growth over time. It's not about making massive changes overnight but rather, consistently putting in the effort to get a little bit better each day.

  2. Habit Stacking: This technique involves pairing a new habit with an existing one. By linking the new habit to something you already do, you're more likely to stick to it. For example, if you want to incorporate meditation into your routine, you could stack it with your morning coffee ritual.

  3. The Two-Minute Rule: Struggling to start a new habit? Clear suggests breaking it down into a task that takes just two minutes. This makes it easier to begin, and once you've started, you're more likely to continue. For instance, instead of committing to a 30-minute workout, start with just two minutes of exercise.

  4. The Four Laws of Behavior Change: Clear outlines four principles to create and maintain habits: Make it Obvious, Make it Attractive, Make it Easy, and Make it Satisfying. By implementing these laws, you can set yourself up for success and make habits stick.

  5. Tracking Your Habits: Clear emphasizes the importance of tracking your habits, as it increases awareness and accountability. Whether you use a habit tracker app, a journal, or a simple checklist, keeping track of your progress is crucial for staying on course.
