"Hot take: quitting your worst habit will change your life faster than starting your best habit. Stop the leak before you fill the bucket."
To get out of bad habits, most people focus on adding better tools. But if there’s a leak in the system, all that effort drains out faster than it goes in. You can wake up at 5 a.m., journal daily, and do the Whole30 diet, but if you’re still doom-scrolling for hours, procrastinating hard conversations, or numbing stress with habits you know aren’t serving you, progress stays slow.
Bad habits don’t just cancel out good ones. These habits quietly tax your energy, focus, and confidence. They create friction you stop noticing because it feels “normal.” That’s the danger. You adapt to the leak instead of fixing it.
Sometimes it’s about stopping the thing that’s holding everything else back.
Before you ask, What should I add? ask instead: What’s draining me right now?
Stop the leak. Then watch how quickly the bucket fills.
