With outcome-based habits, the focus is on what you want to achieve. With identity-based habits, the focus is on who you wish to become. - James Clear

The most satisfying form of freedom is not a life without responsibilities, but a life where you are free to choose your responsibilities.

A simple way to ensure you are focused on what matters:

Imagine everything gets wiped. You inherit no tasks or responsibilities from your past or present. Then, add back only what you miss.

Choose what to add to a blank slate, not what to keep from a full plate.

Small changes often appear to make no difference until you cross a critical threshold. The most powerful outcomes of any compounding process are delayed. You need to be patient.
