One New Habit, One Big Goal: A 12-Week Course to Live Your Best Life

What if you changed just one thing?

You know there are things you could do that would make a difference in your life and leadership.

Pray regularly. Exercise. Eat better. Write. Read. Protect time for focused work. Develop a healthier rhythm for your life.

The problem isn’t that you don’t know these things matter.

The problem is that life gets busy.

There are people who need you, problems that need solving, meetings to attend, emails to answer, and work that can’t wait.

The urgent keeps crowding out the important.

And telling yourself to be more disciplined usually doesn’t help.

What if you took a different approach?

Instead of trying to change everything, change one thing.

Develop One Habit That Matters

One New Habit, One Big Goal is a 12-week guided experience for leaders who want to develop healthier, more productive practices that support their life and leadership.

You’ll choose one habit or goal that matters to you.

You’ll develop a practical plan.

Then you’ll spend 10 weeks putting your plan into practice with a cohort of other leaders doing the same thing.

Along the way, you’ll learn what’s working, what isn’t, and how to adjust.

The goal isn’t perfection.

It’s progress.

Two Weeks to Make the Plan. Ten Weeks to Make the Change.

During the first two weeks, you’ll create your One New Habit, One Big Goal plan.

You’ll identify:

  • The goal you want to achieve
  • The habit that will help you get there
  • The small steps that will make it manageable
  • Your “bright line,” so you know exactly what you’re committing to
  • When and where you’ll practice your habit
  • How you’ll track your progress
  • How you’ll build accountability into the process

 

Then you begin.

For the next 10 weeks, you’ll put your plan into practice.

And you won’t do it alone.

Why 10 Weeks?

Research shows that it takes an average of 66 days to establish a lasting habit. That’s about 10 weeks.

That’s one reason quick fixes and New Year’s resolutions so often disappoint. You start with enthusiasm, but eventually life intervenes.

The approach in my book, One New Habit, One Big Goal: Change Your Life in 10 Weeks, is built around sustained focus on one practice rather than trying to change everything at once.

The course gives you two weeks to develop your plan followed by a full 10-week implementation period.

12 weeks. One focus. One meaningful change.

What Could Your One Habit Be?

That’s up to you.

Develop a spiritual practice

Pray, meditate, journal, read scripture, or create space for reflection.

Take better care of yourself

Exercise regularly, eat healthier, improve your sleep, or develop another sustainable health practice.

Do your most important work

Write regularly, establish a deep-work practice, read and learn consistently, or protect time for work that requires uninterrupted attention.

Create a better rhythm

Plan your week, establish a morning routine, create a Sabbath practice, or develop another routine that makes life and leadership more sustainable.

You don’t have to do all of these.

In fact, that’s the point.

Choose one.

What You’ll Learn Along the Way

The weekly lessons will help you understand what’s happening as you develop your habit. You’ll learn how to:

  • Focus on one meaningful change at a time
  • Connect goals and habits
  • Use small steps to get started
  • Build momentum through incremental progress
  • Recover when you miss a day or life gets in the way
  • Test your plan and make adjustments
  • Manage your environment instead of depending on willpower
  • Recognize and work through the inevitable dip
  • Let go of perfectionism
  • Focus on effort rather than results
  • Finish strong
  • Build new habits on the ones you’ve already established

By the end, you’ll have learned something much more valuable than how to complete one particular goal.

You’ll know how to do it again.

This may be the most important part of the entire course.

The goal isn’t to finish 12 weeks and say: “I did it.”

The goal is to finish saying: “I know how to do this.”

Because once you’ve learned the process, you can use it again. And again.

Imagine developing one meaningful habit every quarter.

One quarter might be prayer. The next might be exercise. Then writing. Then healthy eating.

You don’t have to transform your entire life today.

But four focused changes over the course of a year?

That could make a significant difference in the way you live and lead.
