The Daily Discipline from Project MNDST
The hardest part of any habit isn't maintaining it—it's starting it. James Clear found a simple hack that changes everything.
The Two-Minute Rule states: when you start a new habit, it should take less than two minutes to do. Want to read more? Your habit is "read one page." Want to run? Your habit is "put on your running shoes." The enemy of habit formation is ambition. Two minutes is so easy that skipping feels absurd. Motion creates momentum. Consistency compounds.

Today's Practice: Pick one habit you've been struggling to build. Cut it down to two minutes. Make it so easy you can't say no. Do it today. Do it until it's automatic.
Master the mind. Your life will follow.
