What is “Guiding Structure”?

“Your environment will eat your goals and plans for breakfast.” — Steve Pavlina, author of Personal Development for Smart People and blogger at stevepavlina.com

Key Points:

• Guiding Structure means the structure of your Environment is the largest determinant of your behavior.
• If you want to successfully change a behavior, change the structure that influences or supports the behavior first, and the behavior will follow.
• Don’t try to change your behavior directly, that requires a lot more willpower. It’s easier to focus on the Environment.

Questions for Consideration:

• How is your current environment affecting your behavior?
• How can you change the structure of your environment to make it easier to get things done
