The questions 4 questions

Answer in your own words, out loud or on paper. Nothing is scored, nothing is marked, and nothing is stored — this is for noticing what you have, not for anybody to grade.

  1. Name the habit-building situation the Wave is for.

    What the material says

    You want to build a habit but the daily effort feels insignificant

    Where this comes from — Use it when

  2. Choosing the immediate reward over the larger later one is not a character failing. What is it?

    What the material says

    Temporal discounting is architecture, not weakness.

    Where this comes from — Why it works

  3. One tool used daily against ten tools used occasionally. Which produces more change?

    What the material says

    Frequency beats intensity.

    Where this comes from — Why it works

  4. Somebody is about to make a reactive choice and you say "You never think ahead." What kind of statement is that, and what does it do?

    What the material says

    An identity label that reinforces the pattern

    Where this comes from — Never say this
