    Best quote from Designing Your Perfect Habits Playbook

    “

    Habits account for about 40 percent of our behaviors on any given day, meaning nearly half of what we do runs on autopilot. Successful performance isn't about willpower; it's about designing your environment to make good choices automatic and bad choices inconvenient.
