{"content":[{"text":"WISDOM SESSION \n Decisive Moments \n “Mastering the decisive moments throughout your day is so important.” \n Habits are like the entrance ramp to a highway. They lead you down a path and, before you know it, you’re speed- \n ing toward the next behavior. It seems to be easier to continue what you are already doing than to start doing \n something diﬀ erent. You sit through a bad movie for two hours. You keep snacking even when you’re already \n full. You check your phone for “just a second” and soon you have spent twenty minutes staring at the screen. In \n this way, the habits you follow without thinking oft en determine the choices you make when you are thinking.","bbox":{"left":0.058824,"top":0.038212,"width":0.879262,"height":0.281384}},{"text":"Each evening, there is a tiny moment - usually around 5:15 pm - that shapes the rest of my night. My wife walks \n in the door fr om work and either we change into our workout clothes and head to the gym or we crash onto the \n couch, order Indian food, and watch The Oﬃ ce. Similar to Twyla Tharp hailing the cab, the ritual is changing into \n my workout clothes. If I change clothes, I know the workout will happen. Everything that follows - driving to the \n gym, deciding which exercises to do, stepping under the bar - is easy once I’ve taken the ﬁ rst step.","bbox":{"left":0.058824,"top":0.329581,"width":0.8738760000000001,"height":0.09001500000000001}},{"text":"Every day, there are a handful of moments that deliver an outsized impact. I refer to these little choices as decisive \n moments. The moment you decide between ordering takeout or cooking dinner. The moment you choose between \n driving your car or riding your bike. The moment you decide between starting your homework or grabbing the \n video game controller. These choices are a fork in the road.","bbox":{"left":0.058824,"top":0.429581,"width":0.8819980000000001,"height":0.07183300000000004}},{"text":"Decisive moments set the options available to your future self. For instance, walking into a restaurant is a decisive \n moment because it determines what you’ll be eating for lunch. Technically, you are in control of what you order, \n but in a larger sense, you can only order an item if it is on the menu. If you walk into a steakhouse, you can get a \n sirloin or a rib eye, but not sushi. Your options are constrained by what’s available. They are shaped by the ﬁ rst \n choice.","bbox":{"left":0.058824,"top":0.511399,"width":0.877548,"height":0.09001499999999996}},{"text":"We are limited by where our habits lead us. This is why mastering the decisive moments throughout your day is so \n important. Each day is made up of many moments, but it is really a few habitual choices that determine the path \n you take. These little choices stack up, each one setting the trajectory for how you spend the next chunk of time.","bbox":{"left":0.058824,"top":0.611399,"width":0.876706,"height":0.05365199999999992}},{"text":"Habits are the entry point, not the end point.
