15 - The Cardinal Rule of Behavior Change

Behavior repeats when it brings reward… but careful: not all rewards help. • What gets rewarded gets repeated. • Immediate satisfaction vs long-term benefits. • Create short rewards compatible with long goals. • Make progress visible. • Avoid 'rewards' that contradict the habit. The 'cardinal rule' is clear: what gets rewarded gets repeated. The problem is that many bad habits give immediate pleasure and future pain, while good ones are often the reverse. The solution is to create immediate satisfaction for good habits: check a list, see a progress bar, celebrate the act, give yourself a small reward that doesn't sabotage the goal. When the brain feels it was 'worth it' now, you're more likely to return tomorrow. Making progress visible turns the long-term into something tangible.
