This Weird Research-Backed Goal Setting Hack Actually Works - Nir&Far - Episode#37

Nir's Note: This article on goal setting was originally published in early 2016 but got such a great reader response that I decided to expand and update it along with adding the video below. Let me know what you think in the comments. Over the past four years, I've discovered many incredible ways to hack my habits, set better goals, and improve my life. I have taught myself to love running, dramatically improved my diet and found the focus to write a bestselling book . Understanding how the mind works and using it to affect my daily behaviors has yielded tremendous dividends. However, there is one goal that's nagged at me for years that despite my best efforts, I've never been able to achieve — going to the gym consistently. I hate lifting weights. Hate it. I disdain the strain, the sweat, the smells — all of it. The only thing I like about working out are the results. Unfortunately, there's no way to enjoy the benefits of going to the gym without, you know, actually going to the gym.
