Part 4/12:
Aim for modest progress initially—perhaps hitting around 50-70% of your plan each day. The goal is to create positive feedback loops: each small success boosts your motivation and helps spiral upward. Over time, improved conscientiousness results from consistently planning and executing days aligned with your goals.
Negotiating for a Better Life
Effective self-negotiation involves managing your internal dialogue. Suppose you're negotiating a salary or a life situation—aim to do so in a way that leaves you feeling positive and satisfied afterward. For instance, negotiate for a salary that would make you excited to go to work, rather than settling for a lesser amount that leaves you resentful.
