Habit-Building Strategies for Different Personalities with Gretchen Rubin (Ep. 63)

Building habits is not an exact science.

As much as I’d love to be able to tell you that the habit-building strategies that work well for me will be 100% effective… they might not be.

Part of the reason for this is that different people have different personalities and traits. For example, some people are wired to want to uphold all expectations – both external (set by others) and internal (set by themselves). Others are rebels – they don’t want to be told what to do at all.

Gretchen Rubin, an author of multiple best-selling books, outlines many of these personality types and traits – and how you can use the knowledge of yours to build habits – in her new book 

In this episode, she and I talk about this subject; if you’re interesting in improving your habits, check it out!
