Most habits die during your worst weeks. The ones that survive share a single trait that has nothing to do with discipline. This episode introduces tardigradity. It's the probability...

I have a backlog of 200+ rough blog post ideas. When I sit down to write today's post, the idea is already there. The same habit works for business ideas.
