Google Scholar just informed me I hit 100 citations. As someone who never took a traditional academic path (aka unknown affiliation 🤣), that means a lot. Proof that you do not need a conventional lane to create work that matters.

Love this clip. Two solid minds at work.

[Dr. Michael Gervais @michaelgervais]

What's your potential?

It's one of the best practices I do.

I'll say to somebody, I really want you to spend some time to think about what your potential is.

See if you can get a vision, use your imagination to get as clear as you possibly can about what you believe you're capable of.

I just want to see and feel that compelling future and I'll do the same for you.

We agree to reconvene the next day.

The person was thinking about overnight and then I'll say, do you want me to go or do you want to go first?

This allows you to align and see what a person's potential is.

@mds This is epic @mds! Love it. 🦾

@CliftonSellers Congrats, Clifton!

My research-backed argument that enjoyment is the strongest predictor of adhering to a healthy protocol (or sticking with a habit). https://t.co/2T6H80bIu1

@DBVolkov Killingsworth has done some great stuff, but his more important work is probably dispelling the false belief that money doesn't buy happiness. Pretty hard to go up against Daniel Kahneman and win.

@nathanbarry @tferriss @chrisguillebeau Meeting @StoryGrid at WDS was the catalyst that brought The Fun Habit from idea to a real creation. I believe that's where we met for the first time as well, Nathan. Chris, Tim, and I'd add @noahkagan, have certainly paved a lot of paths for the rest of us.

@guru_paul So true, Paul. This was unlocked for me way back when reading Kathy Sierra's classic Badass: Making Users Awesome (https://t.co/oyVnxllBHo). Making your members the hero of your story. 💪

@NotesByAsif @nathanbarry I second that. An assertion backed by science.

@sweatystartup This is gold @sweatystartup. "What you do on day one will look nothing like what you're doing on day 10,000" is an important one. I learned that one as kid when I would read Muscle & Fitness and copy the workouts of professional bodybuilders and wonder why they didn't work. 😉

@IAmClintMurphy That tracks. I'm sure it will slip out in the coming days.
