Ep 90 - Can’t Stay Consistent with Healthy Habits? How to Lower the Setup Cost

If you've been struggling to stay consistent with healthy habits, the problem might not be what you think.   Most of us assume that when we fall off track, we need more motivation, more willpower, or a better plan. But there's something else that often gets in the way. Something that has nothing to do with how much you care or how hard you're trying.   In this episode, Kiley talks about the concept of setup cost: the time, energy, and mental load that stands between you and the things you want to do consistently.   When setup cost is high, even the habits you genuinely want to build tend to fall apart. And when it's low, consistency becomes a whole lot easier.   You'll learn:   🔸 Why motivation isn't usually the real problem   🔸 What setup cost is and how it affects your healthy habits   🔸 Real-life examples of how lowering setup cost leads to doing things more consistently   🔸 A simple question to ask yourself about any habit you've been struggling with   🔸 How to make a small upfront investment that pays off long-term   This episode might shift the way you think about why healthy habits stick for some people and not others. And it might make you feel a little less frustrated with yourself in the process.   👉 Grab my free resource, The 3E Formula for Habits That Stick, where I distill the core ideas from countless habit books into one simple framework you can remember and use right away.
