If you’re not making as much money as you want, consider checking your bank account before soci

And so, one of the most fascinating things that I found with human behavior in any kind of change is that the first thing that you can do to improve any metric for any skill is to actually measure it. And so, if you want to lose weight, if you weigh yourself every day, no how matter how painful the number is, that intervention alone helps people lose weight. You don't even have to talk about diet. You don't have to tell someone to exercise. If they look at the scale every day, they become aware of it, and when you become aware of a problem, you start consciously or subconsciously making moves to change it.

It doesn't matter what it is, whatever you're trying to improve, but look at it.
