act in certain way, repeated enough, reinforced behavior

Tricks/How:

Write everything down
Have a purpose
Discover and break bad habits
No excuses
No distractions in the morning
Don't put things off (unpleasant things first!)
Get myself in shape

There are no days off in life.

Excellence is the unlimited ability to improve the quality of what I have to offer.

What am I trying to be?
What's my purpose?
Self education. How can I do it better?
