Many strategies help us change our habits, and four strategies tower above the others: **Monitoring, Foundation, Scheduling, and Accountability**. They’re so ubiquitous and familiar that it’s easy to take them for granted—­but they’re invaluable. To make the most of the indispensable Pillars of Habits, we must take into account what we’ve learned about ourselves from the exercises in self-­knowledge.

The Strategies build on each other. --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[habits]] , [[self-reflection]] , [[routines]] **Source** -- [[20240806084000 - B - Better Than Before]]
