Product Description

Why Flexible Habits Bring the Greatest Results 

In your journey to form better habits for a better life, you will face ups and downs. What is the ideal response to these?

Varied.

What works best in habit pursuit one day might not work at all the next day.

Flexible habits are better than small and large habits. Why? They give you the power and benefits of all goal size, small to large—meaning more success in more situations.

Adapt and Conquer the Day

Chinese war strategist Sun Tzu said, “Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances.”

If you pick up any other habit book besides this one, it’s going to suggest that you make your habits the same thing every day, incapable of adapting to the environment. It will ask you to repeat the same tactics every day. That's why people quit—their habits can’t adapt when “life happens.”

Wouldn't it be smarter to be able to adapt your habits precisely to the unique situations you face? Yes, of course! I call them elastic habits.

What Is an Elastic Habit?

Elastic habits are daily behaviors with multiple win conditions. You get to choose your win condition every day, because some days you feel like you’re being attacked by a bear and other days you feel like the bear.

Most people associate “elastic” with yoga pants and rubber bands. But the word also means “resilient”—the ability to withstand pressure.

Non-elastic habits are rigid: the same behavior is done at the same time to the same level every day. The pressures of modern life tend to break such rigid and brittle shells. Elastic habits are fluid: they can change their form and intensity to suit each unique day. They survive busy, tired, bad days. They thrive on better days. 

Elastic habit example (fitness): 

• Monday: You're tired and busy, so you do 5 push-ups to meet the easy level. Easy success!
• Tuesday: You have more time, energy, and motivation, so you go to the gym for a 45-minute workout. Big success!
• Wednesday: You feel somewhere in between, and do a workout video for 20 minutes. Moderate success! 

All three days were winners, and valuable contributions to building your habit. With what I call “3x3 flexibility,” elastic habits give you nine win conditions instead of one, giving you the ability to adapt to the positive and negative circumstances you encounter; that's a recipe for forming life-changing habits.

Whether it’s fatigue or a busy day, your elastic habit can adapt to the exact threat it faces. And if the wind is at your back, watch out world, because your elastic habit can also expand for an inspiring big win! That's what makes an elastic habit smarter (and more fun) than the rest.
