ð What is the most helpful newsletter that you read? It could be any newsletter that helps you be a better, more successful person. Just respond to this issue, and Iâll share back out the best of them on Wednesday.

ð I only read two newsletters right now, and I want to read more. One is [Jason Shen](âs [Cultivating Resilience](. Itâs very focused and useful.
And the other newsletter is [Edith Zimmerman](âs [Drawing Links](. Itâs not self-improvement, but itâs funny and insightful and inspires me to be better at noticing life. Sheâs also the first person who told me that newsletters are the future.Â

ð On Friday, I mentioned doing weekly online office hours. Iâm confirming that Iâll be online today (Monday) at noon eastern time. Come with questions or topics that you want to talk about:

ð More [Jason Shen](. He wrote [the best explanation of deliberate practice Iâve ever read](. Success is working hard and smart at the same time. Nobody gets this as well as he does.

ð I spend a lot of my time optimizing for flow states and thatâs the lens I used to read [Kaki Okumura](âs [The Japanese Art of Making Boring Tasks Better](.
Getting into a flow state involves creative modulation of challenge and skill. This article is a good example of how to modulate a boring task upward into a flow state.

ðªðªðª Day six of a twenty-day sequence to break a bad habit. ðªðªðª
Iâm ending each of these issues with a sequence of exercises you can do to explore your own potential. My view on life is that self-improvement is a year-round never ending journey simply because itâs so interesting and rewarding. Thereâs nothing âwrongâ with you, and yet thereâs never an end to the ways in which we can level up.
This sequence of exercises starts with [picking a habit to break]( and then [picking a replacement habit](.
Todayâs exercise is to adopt a When/Then Mindset in order to make your goals anti-fragile.Â
In breaking your habit, how many Cueâs have you identified and planned replacement habits for? Iâve done three for my âstop taking my phone to bedâ goal.
But Iâm sure Iâll discover more through failure. The solution to those failures comes from the world of anti-fragility.Â
Most systems weaken under stress. For example, most people who fail get demoralized.Â
But an anti-fragile system gets stronger under stress.Â
So instead of a failure on a goal leading to giving up, there is a mindset that turns a failure into something that makes you stronger. We call it the When/Then mindset.Â
When you fail, notice the trigger for that failure and then design a replacement habit.Â
My notes app is filled with When/Then lists for my goals.Â
Each item looks like this:Â
When , Then I will .Â
So now when I fail, I have a response that automatically makes me stronger. You can do the same thing.
Thatâs anti-fragility. How many When/Thenâs have you identified so far? Do you have any to add today? Donât miss out on the other issues by Coach Tony [Become a member for $10 per month]( Did you enjoy this issue? [Yes]( [No]( [Coach Tony](
