Most of life runs on autopilot. You do not decide each action. You follow defaults. The default response, the default meal, the default activity when bored. These defaults shape your days more than conscious choices.

Good defaults make good behavior automatic. Bad defaults make bad behavior automatic. The person with healthy food as their default eats better than the person who must constantly choose health.

Examine your defaults. What happens when you wake up? What do you reach for when bored? What do you eat when you have not planned? Change these defaults and you change your life without needing more willpower.

What default is worth changing?
