This is an excellent summary of Fogg’s work and I appreciate how you apply it to the various areas of a professional’s life.

These habits are known to everyone. The question is, how do you master them?

There are only 24 hours a day, and you have to choose.

Remove what we are used to from our daily schedule and insert something new—something that should help us but that we're not used to yet. Therefore, our bodies and our habitual way of life will resist.

So, it will take one to three months for the old habit to disappear and the new habit to form.

It is very difficult to endure this period because the initial motivation and enthusiasm quickly fade, and we start to talk ourselves down, looking for excuses—how we can waste time habitually again.
