Systems
Module 03 / 07
Habit Formation & Consistency
Success is not occasional intensity. It is repeated systems.
The brief
What's inside
What's at stake
How habits form, how environment shapes behaviour, and how consistency compounds.
Why it matters
Discipline chooses once. Habits install the choice so you do not spend your life negotiating.
The science
Habits form through cue, routine, and reward — repeated in stable contexts. The twenty-one-day myth is marketing, not a law.
You leave with

How it connects
Next: mental toughness — staying in the system when life gets hard.
The lessons
