outcomes are about what you get. processes are about what you do. identity is what you believe. when it comes to building habits that last -when it comes to building s system of 1 percent improvement - the problem is not that one level is "better" or "worse" than another. all levels of change are useful in their own way. the problem is the direction of change.
many people begin the process of changing their habits by focusing on what they want to achieve. this leads us to outcome-based habits. the alternative is to build identity-based habits. with this approach,we start by focusing on who we wish to become.
