0:00so the Triple Two system is made up of a
0:02trio of rules you get the two minute
0:04rule two-day Rule and the two-year rule
0:06these rules are each great on their own
0:08but when combined into a system it's
0:10made building new habits and acquiring
0:12useful skills incredibly easy it's how
0:14I've managed to grow this YouTube
0:15channel and start a business and publish
0:17a book all while working full-time as a
0:19doctor because the fundamental skills
0:21like writing video editing and studying
0:24have been able to put on autopilot so
0:26the way it works is that you pick a
0:27skill or a habit that you want to
0:29acquire so for this example let's say
0:31we're trying to build a habit of going
0:33on a 30 minute jog every morning here's
0:35how you would apply the Triple Two
0:36system starting with a two minute rule
0:38break it down into a two minute task so
0:41you want to break down going on a daily
0:4330 minute jog into something that takes
0:45only two minutes to do make sure it has
0:46a specific time and place so examples
0:49would be I will put on my running shoes
0:51immediately after I brush my teeth in
0:53the morning or I will sleep in my
0:55running clothes for the first week or so
0:57commit to only doing it for two minutes
0:59so put on your shoes and go for a two
1:01minute run then after two minutes go
1:04back home and continue doing what you
1:05were doing you need to First establish
1:07the habit of just showing up to the jog
1:09every morning before you can expand on
1:11it once you're consistent you can
1:13lengthen the jog to 30 minutes speaking
1:15of consistency next is the two day rule
1:17never miss a habit for two days in a row
1:19so never miss going on a jog for two
1:21days in a row life gets in the way and
1:23sometimes you'll be too busy in the
1:25morning to go on that jog and that's
1:26okay you're not a failure commit to the
1:29two-day Rule and make sure you don't
1:31miss two days in a row we miss for two
1:33days it's easy to start sliding in a
1:35three or four days and eventually you'll
1:37just give up on the habit but the key is
1:39to forgive yourself if you miss one day
1:42and use that buffer to get back on track
1:44the next day it's better to be
1:45consistent than to be perfect next is
1:47the two-year rule which is basically
1:49stick with the habit for two years keep
1:52trying to build this jogging habit for
1:55two years and don't quit two years is
1:57long enough for you to see meaningful
1:59progress but also not long enough where
2:01the timeline seems overwhelming in the
2:04grand scheme of Life two years is
2:06nothing but doing something consistently
2:08for two years will change your identity
2:11and when you identify yourself as a
2:13runner in the habit of going on a daily
2:15job becomes second nature if you want to
2:17succeed at anything in life all you need
2:19are practice persistence and patience
2:22that's the two minute rule two-day Rule
