8 Tiny Habits That Made Me Rich

About this video

Martell presents eight habits he says transformed him from an ADHD mess into someone running several multi-million-dollar companies, a description of his results presented as his claim. Habit one is winning tomorrow today: plan the next day the night before, set a bedtime alarm, dump open loops onto paper, and park unfinished tasks in the calendar. Habit two is protecting the first hour: no news, feeds, or inbox, then move and sweat and drink a full bottle of water. Habit three is five-minute mindful journaling using his one-two-three method: one brain dump, two priorities, and three gratitudes, including one mundane item. Habit four is learning daily by studying just-in-time books ten pages at a time, applying a nugget immediately, and teaching it to someone else. Habit five is environment engineering: make the right action the easiest action and surround yourself with high-standard people. Habit six is measuring what matters: find one North Star metric and keep a daily scorecard. Habit seven is fighting for momentum: done beats perfect, never miss twice, and celebrate wins. Habit eight is choosing hard always, picking a scary challenge, announcing it for accountability, and treating hitting the wall as a good sign.
