The difference between people who actually achieve their goals and those who don't isn't discipline.

It's actually about building strategic systems and identities that make success inevitable.

And we are not in the business of waiting for the

arbitrary start date of the new year to start working on our goals and creating our dream life.

If you're a bit like me and determined to make the most of the rest of the year,

kickstart your lock-in and comeback season,

and emerge on the very first day of the new year as the best version that you can be,

then I made this video for you.

I'll walk you through a complete lock-in system with three tried

and tested evidence-backed levers that you can pull to build your dream life before the end of the year.

Five months ago, I had a baby and completely paused on every single goal that I'd set for myself,

which was exactly what I needed to do for that season.

But now I'm coming back into the arena and as we approach the end of the year,

I've realized that I have a choice.

Either coast into the new year and change nothing

or commit to transformation right now and step into the new year with my best foot already forward.

And one of the most valuable lessons I've learned is that ultimately in life,

you choose your hard.

Building a fit, healthy body by sleeping,

exercising, and eating right is hard.

Being unfit, unhealthy, and feeling limited by your physical body is also hard.

So if you're ready to make a change starting from today,

then keep watching this video.

If you're new here, my name's Izzy.

I'm a mum, tech co-founder, and Cambridge trained doctor.

And right now, I'm on a mission to help you create your dream life.

So without further ado, let's dive in.

Also, I've created a completely free companion for this video,

which is the Great Lock-In Starter Pack,

which has all my favourite resources and some AI prompts

that I've designed to help to guide you through getting momentum

as you get off the ground with setting your goals and really committing to them.

If you'd like to check it out,

I'll leave a link down below.

So what is a lock-in?

A lock-in isn't just about working harder,

it's also about working smarter by pulling the right levers intentionally until progress becomes unavoidable.

The first lever is the focus lever.

The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

This is a quote by Alexander Graham Bell,

which is absolutely so resonant for this focus lever.

Because focus is the starting point of every lock-in.

It's about deciding what truly matters this season and actively releasing what doesn't.

There are two parts to this lever.

Firstly is the visualization.

Visualize yourself at the end of the year.

Where do you want to be?

I recommend thinking about this in four key areas,

which are health, relationships, career slash finances, and growth.

And so the way that I like to think about this is write out everything

that you think could maybe be on that list.

In the health category, I usually break this down into sleep,

nutrition, movement, mind, and beauty.

So think about each of these areas of your health

and consider is there anything you'd like to add or remove from them.

And I intentionally mention remove here

because part of locking in is really focusing the raise of our attention onto a couple of key things that really matter.

And so actually making sure that we can constantly prune things out of our lives,

whether that's possessions or habits that are no longer serving us,

or even relationships that are really no longer contributing positively to our lives,

then once you've got your long list of all the things that you kind of want to do,

it's time to eliminate and select.

Psychological studies have found that we are most likely to succeed at a goal

when we are focusing on just one key goal.

This doesn't mean that you only have to choose one goal,

but what it does mean is that you shouldn't choose 20 goals.

You should choose as few goals as possible.

And so I personally like to cap this at maximum three goals that I'm really focusing all my energy on.

So have a look at your long list

and then choose only the top one to three goals to only go all in on for the great lock-in.

This doesn't mean that we completely abandon everything else,

but it means you don't focus on them because every single morning

when we wake up and every single night when we go to sleep,

we want to be thinking about striving towards our chosen goals.

People think focus means saying yes to the thing that you've got to focus on,

but that's not what it means at all.

It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are.

So what feels most alive for you right now?

What one change, if you successfully executed on,

would have the most positive impact on your life?

And you'd look back and think,

wow, I'm really proud of myself.

So here's where most people get stuck.

They genuinely don't know where to start.

And I've realized that there are kind of two camps here.

So some of you will have this massive,

overwhelming list of goals, as in everything feels important and you don't know what to cut out and what to prioritize.

And then maybe others would literally be looking at a blank page thinking,

I don't even know what my goal should be.

I don't know where to begin.

And so one really helpful thinking tool is using AI tools to help you to unpick your own thinking

and figure out your answers to these questions.

And so at this point in my lock-in journey,

I turned to Claude, which I've been using for just over a year now,

built by Anthropic, who are very kindly sponsoring this video,

which kind of blows my mind because I've literally been using and loving Claude over the last year.

So this is how I used it to help me to navigate my own mind and figure out my own priorities.

It didn't just give me a template or tell me what to do.

It actually just asked me lots of questions that made me think differently about my own goals.

100

So I had this long list,

101

like 15, 20 goals, and everything felt kind of important.

102

And so I basically popped the whole thing into Claude and I said,

103

look, I've got all these ideas and they all feel quite important to me.

104

And can you help to act as my life coach and ask me further clarifying questions to figure out my priorities,

105

to focus on really locking in on and making progress on.

106

And what Claude did is ask me follow-up questions that made me think differently.

107

Things like, which of these goals am I pursuing because I genuinely want them versus I think I should want them?

108

Or if I could succeed at only one thing this year,

109

which one would actually create the most meaningful change?

110

But what if you're on the flip side and you're not even sure what your goals should be?

111

So in case any of you are in that camp,

112

I actually tested out Claude to see if it could help with this use case.

113

And I opened up a new conversation and said,

114

I want to lock in and make progress towards something,

115

but I'm staring at a blank page and I don't know what to work on.

116

I know I want to improve my life,

117

but I don't know what to focus on.

118

So how should I even start figuring out what my goals should be?

119

Please act as my life coach and ask me questions that will help me find my own answers.

120

And the key thing here is Claude didn't make my decisions for me.

121

It just helped me to think more clearly

122

and ask the questions I wasn't asking myself

123

and challenging my thinking in areas that I wasn't necessarily aware that I was missing something.

124

Because at the end of the day,

125

it's not about getting quick answers to something.

126

It's actually about having a thinking buddy that helps you to find your own answers.

127

And once I'd actually selected the goals I wanted to focus on,

128

Claude was really helpful in actually elaborating on a systematic plan of how to get there using an evidence-based framework,

129

which I had shared with Claude that I wanted to use.

130

I've put together a bunch of free prompts in the lock-in starter pack

131

that you can copy and paste into Claude to try it out yourself.

132

If you're interested in trying out Claude,

133

then I've popped a link down in the description below.

134

Once we have clarity on the goals that we're focusing on,

135

the next lever is the identity lever.

136

And this is about becoming the person who achieves these goals.

137

Every action you take is a vote for the person you wish to become.

138

The identity lever is about shifting from behavior level change,

139

which is, I should work out,

140

to identity level change, which is,

141

I'm someone who moves every day.

142

Because once you know what you want,

143

you need to decide who you need to be in order to get there.

144

Identity level change is less about forcing discipline and more about aligning your self image with your goal.

145

So what I suggest here is visualizing yourself at the end of your lock-in.

146

Step into the version of you who has achieved the goals that you want to work on.

147

Take a deep breath, maybe close your eyes and imagine,

148

okay, what does this version of me think, act, choose?

149

What do they believe about themselves?

150

What are the narratives that she says to herself?

151

And then for each goal,

152

come up with some kind of identity.

153

So for example, for me,

154

one of my goals is to sleep earlier and have a fixed consistent bedtime.

155

So my task here is to switch the narrative from,

156

I should sleep early, sounds so boring,

157

to instead, I'm a person who has early nights.

158

And immediately, even just saying this out loud,

159

I feel this sigh of relief.

160

This feels much more spacious,

161

much more aspirational, much more relaxed and enjoyable.

162

The third lever to make the most of your great lock-in is the systems lever.

163

The foundation of this lever is that design beats discipline.

164

The system lever is about architecture.

165

It's not about willpower.

166

And there are three subsections to this, keystone, friction, and implementation.

167

A keystone habit is the anchor of your lock-in.

168

It's the one daily or weekly behavior that transforms everything else and has a domino effect on the rest of your life.

169

For me, one great example is something in the health category,

170

which is sleep,

171

which is a big reason why sleep is one of my three top goals to focus on during this lock-in.

172

Because as soon as I've slept well,

173

I have more energy, I'm more creative,

174

I'm more likely to feel excited to create YouTube videos or to work on my business.

175

I'm more likely to be able to show up as my best self for my baby

176

and my husband and pour in all the love and care that my family deserves.

177

And I'm also much more likely to be able to show up for myself and take care of myself,

178

whether that's showing up for my daily exercise or my skincare

179

or taking all the supplements that I've planned out or making sure that I'm eating healthy meals.

180

The second part of the systems lever is friction.

181

And this is all about your environment.

182

Your environment becomes your silent accountability partner.

183

So it's crucial that you design your environment,

184

schedule and queues so that your lock-in habits become the path of least resistance.

185

Kind of like water flowing down a mountain,

186

it follows the easiest path and the way that we do this is by either adding or removing friction.

187

So for habits and actions that we want to encourage,

188

we want to reduce the friction for those.

189

So for example if you want to go to the gym first thing in the morning,

190

maybe lay out your gym clothes the night before.

191

Or if I want to journal every day,

192

I put my journal on my desk every single day.

193

Or for example if I want to make sure that I I drink a whole bottle of water,

194

first thing as soon as I wake up,

195

I can make sure that I always have my water bottle topped up,

196

ready by my bedside.

197

So as soon as I wake up in the morning,

198

my bottle's already there.

199

This also means adding friction to things that are distractions that we want to avoid.

200

Examples of this include if you have a snacking habit,

201

putting the snacks far out of reach rather than making them obvious on the table,

202

or deleting apps which are distracting or lead you to doom scrolls such as Instagram.

203

It also means automating whatever you can.

204

So for example, when I was working on investing as one of my goals,

205

one thing that I did was set up automatic investment.

206

This was while I was working as a doctor.

207

So every month when I got my paycheck,

208

I would automatically set up a direct transfer to my investment account.

209

And then in my investment account,

210

I had set up an automatic investment in a basket of ETFs.

211

So specific funds that I wanted to invest in every single month.

212

And this would all happen automatically,

213

which meant that my investment was so seamless and completely had no friction once I'd set up this system.

214

The third part of the systems lever is implementation.

215

And this is all about implementation intentions,

216

where you translate your goals into daily and weekly anchors.

217

So you define when, where,

218

and how you're gonna do all of the things that are gonna get you towards your goal.

219

These have been proven across multiple studies to massively increase the likelihood

220

that you're actually going to take action and make it happen.

221

For example, if one of your goals is to meditate every day,

222

then your implementation intention could be,

223

when I wake up after I've brushed my teeth and done my skincare,

224

I sit on my bed and meditate using a timer for 15 minutes.

225

This works by reducing cognitive load because you've already made the decisions about how you're going to make all these things happen.

226

So those are the three most powerful levers

227

that I've found to really lock in your goals and make meaningful progress before the end of the year.

228

And one thing I think about a lot is when watching personal development content like this on YouTube,

229

it's easy to just watch the content and not actually take any action in our lives.

230

And so right now, right here,

231

before you click off this video,

232

maybe even pause the video for a second,

233

think of two action points that you're taking away from this video and that you're actually going to make happen.

234

Feel free to either comment them below,

235

send them to me as an email,

236

or just like write a note to yourself somewhere in your journal or like message it to a friend.

237

Because the most important thing is that you actually take action having watched this.

238

Because my deepest wish for you is that you watch these videos

239

and you actually take action to improve your life and move closer towards building the life of your dreams.

240

If you enjoy this video,

241

I think you would like this one over here where I talk about key habits

242

that can help you to level up and become the best version of yourself.

243

So check that out over there.

244

As always, thank you for watching,

245

take care of yourself and remember that the journey is the destination.

246

I'll see you in the next video.

247

Bye!
