James Clear on Building AWESOME Habits | Afford Anything Podcast (Audio-Only)
James Clear wanted to start flossing, but he never managed to follow through. Despite his best intentions, his dental floss sat unused in a bathroom drawer.
Fortunately, James had learned a thing or two about human behavior and habit formation. As a self-improvement writer, he’d spent hours pouring over scientific data about behavior changes. He decided to apply a few of these concepts to his own quest.
First, he placed the floss on the bathroom counter, rather than tucking it inside a drawer. He made the floss visible.
Second, he realized he didn’t enjoy the tactile sensation of wrapping floss around his fingers, so he replaced it with floss picks. He made the floss more enjoyable.
Finally, he decided to floss immediately after brushing his teeth. He used a technique called “habit stacking,” in which a new habit is more likely to stick if it’s tied, or triggered, by an existing habit like toothbrushing.
Thanks to these techniques, James built a flossing habit. He shares these tactics and more in today’s podcast episode.
James Clear is one of the most well-respected and widely-known thinkers and writers in the world of habit formation and behavior change.
His website, jamesclear.com, gets more than one million visitors every month.
In this week’s episode, we deep-dive into how to create impressive habits and how to break the terrible habits that hold you back
If you’d like to start new habits like exercising, saving more, investing, meditating, journaling, practicing yoga or flossing, but despite your best intentions you can’t seem to make the habit stick, then this week’s podcast episode is for you.

Today the first time but will not be the last time I listen to Paula's podcasts. I have listened to about three other podcasts that interviewed James Clear. It was so evident that Paula did the work by actually reading the book, taking notes, and was even able to add valued contributions to the interview. Well Done!
Paula, this is a masterclass on the art of being a superb host and interviewer. I listened to at least four other podcasts with James Clear and in each and every one of those interviews, the host intruded with his own opinions and often clearly wasn't listening to James. It is no coincidence that James repeatedly started several responses with "Great question..." as you engaged him with thoughtful followup. Brava!

I’ve been listening to James Clear interviews all week and this is by far one of the best. Not only did I get to hear fresh information from Clear but I’ve found a new podcaster to follow 😊 Fantastic interview!
Podcast actually starts at: 2:58
Great podcast. I'm gonna get that book, there are a few habits I want to have but I'm struggling with. (Wake up early, do daily stretches, meditate, read more, etc.)

I understand the feeling! Choose one of those -- just one -- and focus on developing that habit only. It's often more effective to build/change one habit at a time. :)

@@affordanything Thanks for the tip, I tend to try to do everything at once. It's the perfectionist in me. But now that I think about it, I know exactly which habit I want to build first.

You are a fabulous interviewer!!!!Prepared & inquisitive!
Step trackers work for me. I am travelling in Turkey, walking alot. It keeps my weight down, I feel great, and it forces me to explore. Absolute minimum of 10,000 steps, usually 15,000 plus per day. Great podcast.

This is really good. Thank you so much!
Human behaviour when repeated several times is habit and it can b developed by simply following Four steps Q, craving, response and reward that's it. For the cue you make it visible. For the craving you make it attractive . For response you make it easy. For reward you make it satisfying.
Great podcast!!!
