What you'll find out.

You've watched hundreds of videos and kept almost none of it. MASTRD is only the ideas that matter, and everything you learn keeps coming back. Here are five of them; the how is in the lessons.

  1. How long a new habit takes to stick (it isn't 21 days)
  2. What one missed day does to a habit you're building
  3. The four things that best predict when you'll procrastinate
  4. How much of your scrolling isn't your choice, by one study's estimate
  5. What makes people work harder after a failure, and it isn't self-esteem

Why it sticks

Five reasons it never stuck. Fixed.

  • You forgot it.

    A system designed to help you remember brings every idea back right before you'd forget it.

  • You never used it.

    Every lesson makes you use it: real situations, spotting the mistake, saying it out loud. Then you try it for real and check in on how it went.

  • You had no time.

    It takes five minutes of your scroll time, and refreshers wait on your lock screen.

  • You learned from the wrong people.

    Built on how self-made founders and executives actually work, plus research and specialists.

  • You did it alone.

    Your circle of up to 12 friends sees whether you kept your standard this week, and can nudge you when you slip.

Questions

Questions, answered.

  • People with strong self-control don't win more fights with temptation; they have fewer of them. The lessons cover setting up your days so the right thing is the easy thing.

  • Procrastination isn't laziness: it's dodging the bad feeling a task triggers. The lessons cover what predicts it and how to start before you feel ready.

  • Volume beats perfection, because you can't predict which attempt will be your best. The lessons cover how long habits take, bad days and tracking that works.
