Jay explains why trying to change everything about your life overnight often leads to burnout, and shares a practical 90-day approach to making changes that actually stick. He breaks down how to get clear on what you want your everyday life to look like three months from now, create space for your goals by doing less instead of more, and overcome procrastination with simple strategies like temptation bundling and if-then planning. Jay also shares how to build sustainable habits that keep you moving forward long after the 90 days are over.
