Numbers Games

The magic number for trying something new is a month. 30 days is enough to see if it sticks; it’s long enough to toy around with adjustments and improvements; it’s long enough to feel committed to it. It takes 30 days for habit to form – and the same can be said for a meaningful project.

Effective relationships are built around three layers of conversation. The first is a shared goal and vision. The second is talking through the hiccups of flubbers along the way together. And the third is downright fun stuff – it might not even be tied to the project you’re collaborating on. You need all three layers of conversation to feel fulfilled working together.

20 seconds is the amount of time before the lizard brain starts to really convince you to not do the thing you should do. In 20 seconds, all the excuses for inaction will come top of mind. That’s all it takes for the mental feet to hit the brakes. Said, differently, the easiest time to act is in the first 20 seconds of the idea arising.

Stay Positive & Play To Win
