1
Success doesn't come from something that you do sometimes.
2
Success comes from something that you do consistently, something that you do every single day.
3
And I'm gonna be real with you, with most people that I see, most people don't have a motivation problem.
4
Most people don't have a mindset problem.
5
Most people don't have a time problem.
6
When it comes down to their success in life, they really have a consistency and follow-through problem.
7
You know, you've probably, if you're like most people, started and stopped more things than you can count.
8
Where you're like, I'm going to lose weight this time.
9
This new year, new me, I'm definitely going to do it.
10
And then four months later, you're still in the exact same place.
11
You know, you've told yourself like, hey, this time it's going to be different.
12
I'm going to do it.
13
I'm going to follow through.
14
And then you've watched yourself ghost yourself on your goals two weeks later, right?
15
And it's frustrating, isn't it?
16
It's frustrating to want to be somewhere, to want to be different,
17
but feel like you're just self-sabotaging and spinning your wheels and keeping yourself in the exact same position.
18
So why does this happen?
19
And then how do we actually change it?
20
Well, the most successful people that I know are usually not even close to the smartest people that I know.
21
They're not the most motivated.
22
They're not the most meditated.
23
Some of them don't even wake up until 10 o'clock
24
So it's not like they're the ones that wake up early in the morning.
25
It's not any of that.
26
They are the most consistent.
27
That's what I found.
28
They wake up
29
and they do the same boring shit day after day after day until they finally hit the destination they've been working towards.
30
Whether that's three months from now, whether that's three years from now, they have this mindset of I will do everything that I need to do every day,
31
day in, day out, day in, day out until I get to where I need to be.
32
And that could be health and fitness.
33
It can be business.
34
It could be money.
35
It could be success.
36
Many different things.
37
They are the most consistent.
38
They do what needs to be done every single day, even when they don't want to do it.
39
And so today I'm going to show you a very simple rule, a trick that you can use that psychologists say is one of the best ways to stay consistent.
40
And it's called the 90-91 rule. So 90-91.
41
And it's incredibly simple.
42
And if you do it, we'll actually reshape your identity of who you think you are.
43
It'll change your brain and your entire relationship with focus and follow through.
44
Let's go ahead and break it down.
45
When you look at consistency, before we dive into 90, 91, when you look at consistency, why do we struggle?
46
It's usually not a discipline issue.
47
It's more of a pattern issue within ourself.
48
And so there's a lot more happening under the surface.
49
Number one, one of the things that I find is that most people are addicted to novelty, not mastery.
50
So your brain is wired to crave something new, new goals, new planners, new routines,
51
new meditation, whatever it is that you're going to be doing.
52
But if you're trying to master something, you have to be repetitive.
53
Mastery requires repetition in the brain.
54
That's how you master something.
55
It's slow.
56
It's boring.
57
It doesn't come with, you know, fireworks and high fives.
58
And we will be right back.
59
Hey, if you've ever wanted to be coached personally by me, right now is your chance.
60
I just opened the doors to Mindset 2.0, which is a 12-week system that's designed to help you finally break free from procrastination,
61
to stop overthinking, stop holding yourself back so that you can create the life that you want.
62
But the doors are going to close in just a few days, and the first few people who join are going to get a massive discount plus access to exclusive bonuses
63
that I've never put out before.
64
And so if you've been waiting for a sign, this is it.
65
All you need to do is go to coachwithrob.com right now.
66
Once again, coachwithrob.com, or you can click the link that's down in the description, and I'll see you on the inside.
67
And now, back to the show.
68
Like, if I look at people who I know have mastered things, like, first person popped into my head when I thought about somebody who does the same thing day in, day out.
69
When you look at Steph Curry, who is arguably one of the top 10, if not five basketball players ever, 100% the best shooter that's ever lived.
70
For the past 15 years, he's been doing the exact same 90-minute routine pregame before every single game.
71
The exact same thing for 90 minutes before a game starts for 15 years straight.
72
Another example, I remember watching an interview one time with Dwayne Wade,
73
and he was talking about one of the first times that Kobe Bryant came and played in Miami as a Laker.
74
And he was watching him and Dwayne Wade was watching Kobe Bryant do his routine.
75
And Kobe Bryant would take it at the top of the key.
76
He would go over to the left side, right at the elbow, and he would shoot the shot.
77
He'd go back to the exact same spot, go to the left elbow, shoot the shot.
78
Same thing over and over and over.
79
And he watched him do the exact same thing for 30 minutes straight.
80
And Dwayne Wade was like, I got this.
81
I know exactly what Kobe Bryant's going to do.
82
And he said that even though he knew exactly what he was going to do, he still could not stop him.
83
And the reason why was because Kobe Bryant had mastered that thing.
84
He had done the exact same boring routine tens of thousands of times.
85
And even though Dwayne Wade knew exactly what he was going to do, he still couldn't stop him.
86
And so our brain likes novelty.
87
It likes dopamine spikes and newness and all of that.
88
So when the honeymoon phase of doing something new ends, your brain says, let's find a new shiny object.
89
I see this all the time with business owners.
90
They just can't focus on doing the same boring thing every single day to grow their business.
91
It's called SOS, shiny objects.
92
And it's, oh, oh, this new thing.
93
Oh, I could try this marketing with, oh, I could, I could do this thing.
94
And they try so many new things.
95
What happens?
96
Business fails because they never master anything.
97
So that's the first thing.
98
The second thing is that you might be using your feelings as a compass.
99
You might be waiting for the feeling to show up, for the motivation to show up.
100
Oh my gosh, motivation is what I'm waiting for.
101
Oh, here it is, right?
102
Like motivation is like a wave, like it's in and it's out and it's in and it's out and you can't rely on it.
103
Identity though, which is what we're going to be talking about today is how to change your identity around this.
104
Identity is an anchor.
105
Like I am the type of person who is consistent.
106
Consistency is about never missing.
107
It's about keeping small promises long enough to rewrite your story about yourself and to change your identity.
108
You know, if you only act when you feel like acting and only take action when you feel like taking action, your life becomes this like emotional weather report.
109
Like you're just, it's unpredictable.
110
It's unstable.
111
You're, you're some days it's raining.
112
Some days it's not.
113
Some days it's shine.
114
It's like, no, no matter what's going on, I'm going to do this thing every single day.
115
You don't need to be the type of person who takes action when you feel like it.
116
You need to be the type of person where you do the hard thing every day, no matter what.
117
And so when you look at the 90-91 rule, it's incredibly simple.
118
And so don't confuse simple with easy though.
119
And this is what it is.
120
For the next 90 days, spend 90 minutes, like the first 90 minutes of your day focused on one thing, which is your most important task.
121
So 90 days, first 90 minutes, focus on one thing, which is your most important task for the day.
122
It's quite simple.
123
And it's not like, oh, this is just a time block in my schedule.
124
No, this is a ritual for you.
125
It's a non-negotiable appointment with your future self and the life you're building.
126
And one thing that you need if you're a person that's working on your own success or money or business or body, whatever it might be, is you need daily non-negotiables.
127
Hey, if I get hit by a truck, I'm getting this done.
128
This 90-91 needs to actually be a daily non-negotiable for you.
129
This is what I'm going to do no matter what.
130
So basically it looks like this.
131
You wake up in the morning, you end up doing, say your 90 minutes that you're going to be focusing on is in your business every single day.
132
So what you decide to do is you say, okay, I'm going to wake up.
133
I'm going to go to the bathroom.
134
I'm going to brush my teeth.
135
I'm going to have my water, my hydration.
136
I'm going to do my 15-minute meditation.
137
And then I'm going to be ready to start.
138
And so what I'm going to do is I'm going to do my 90 minutes of deep work in my business.
139
And you just do that every single day, day in, day out for the next 90 days.
140
You could do anything for 90 days.
141
You don't have to do it forever.
142
You could do anything for 90 days.
143
The deeper psychology behind why all of this works is beyond just like time management.
144
One of the biggest reasons why it works is because for you, it's going to remove decision fatigue.
145
Every time that you have to take a step back and ask yourself like, what should I do today?
146
Or what should I do right now?
147
You burn energy in your brain.
148
You burn willpower.
149
In the 90-91 rule, it just ends the debate.
150
There's no negotiation.
151
There's no chasing fires.
152
There's no, what should I do today?
153
It's, I know what I'm doing today.
154
I don't need to think about it.
155
And it's the same when you see people like, you know, sometimes those tech guys wear the exact same thing every single day.
156
They're just trying to not have another thing to decide.
157
They're trying to put all their brainpower into one thing.
158
So what you're doing is you're creating focus within yourself.
159
You're putting all of your brainpower into one thing and you're doing what Cal Newport calls deep work.
160
And this is where discipline stops feeling like restriction and it starts feeling like freedom.
161
Like this is really up to me and I can do anything
162
that I want to in these 90 minutes to change my life.
163
And whatever you decide is the right thing for you.
164
The less decisions that you can make each day, the better.
165
I remember reading an article years ago and it was saying that Jeff Bezos only makes three decisions every single day.
166
He goes into the office and he has three decisions, but there are three really big decisions that he makes every single day.
167
So that's number one.
168
The second reason why it works really well is because it leverages your brain's peak state.
169
So cognitive science shows that your prefrontal cortex, which is, if you've been listening to this podcast for a while, you've heard me talk about it many times.
170
It's the part of your brain responsible for decision-making and planning and goal pursuit.
171
It is at its freshest early in the day.
172
well, then I probably want to use it when it's at its freshest, right?
173
That means that you have fewer distractions, you have sharper thinking, you have less resistance.
174
And so if that's the case, why would I want to wait until later on in the day to do my most important work?
175
I mean, it's like trying to run a marathon after leg day.
176
No, you've already exhausted your legs.
177
You don't want to do that.
178
And so what you want to do is you want to take action
179
while you still have a lot of mental energy and mental bandwidth.
180
And there was a study that was done in 2012 by Blake Moore
181
and Robbins that showed that the prefrontal cortex functioning is at its strongest in the early part of the day,
182
especially for complex tasks involving strategy and focus, which is exactly why 90-91 is perfect for in the morning.
183
Now, I'm not saying it needs to be the very first thing you do in the morning, like you wake up and immediately start working.
184
I'm saying once you get past your morning routine, your brain has woken up a little bit and now you're in focus mode, make it in that moment.
185
It could be 9 a.m for you.
186
It could be 10 a.m for you, whatever it might be.
187
That's the second thing.
188
The third thing that's really important about this is it builds identity-based consistency.
189
So behavioral psychology is really clear in this.
190
We act in alignment with who we believe we are.
191
Not who we are, who we believe we are.
192
So when you commit to the same action every morning, you're not just being productive, you are, but you're also saying, I'm the type of person who shows up.
193
I protect what matters.
194
I keep my word to myself.
195
I follow through no matter what.
196
And if you do this long enough, it changes who you think you are.
197
So if you think that you're lazy and that you don't work hard, if you do this every single day
198
and your brain sees you showing up every single day for 90 days in a row, your brain has to go,
199
huh, maybe my lazy identity, that doesn't actually fit the narrative of what's going on here.
200
Like it doesn't fit.
201
There's some sort of cognitive dissonance here.
202
Like I say to myself that I'm lazy, but I'm seeing myself show up and work really hard every single day.
203
I'm going to have to let go of this lazy identity. and
204
so identity is just who you think you are based off of what you've seen yourself do in the past
205
and identity shifts based off of what you do so
206
if you want your identity to be different in the future you need to take different actions today
207
and in the future and then in the future a year from today whatever it might be
208
when you look backwards your identity will be different
209
because you will have taken different actions
210
so this is how you you start really being consistent and actually change your identity of yourself.
211
There's a thing that's called the identity-based habits theory.
212
It's rooted in cognitive dissonance theory.
213
And it shows that repeated actions shape self-concept.
214
Self-concept is who we think we are.
215
So when we repeat actions over and over again, it shapes our self-concept of who we think we are.
216
And once that becomes part of our identity, here's the key part.
217
Once that becomes part of our identity, the behavior becomes automatic and natural.
218
holy shit that's pretty crazy so in psychology it actually shows
219
that if we continue to do something over and over
220
and over again it will eventually become part of our identity
221
and when it becomes part of our identity the behavioral becomes natural and automatic that's pretty important
222
and if we think we're the type of person eventually
223
if we could brainwash ourself
224
and think we're the type of person who's consistent we will continue to show up and be consistent every single day
225
And so let's talk about how to implement it.
226
Like, let's get practical with it, right?
227
Let's do this without any overwhelm.
228
The first thing you're going to do, this is super simple.
229
Number one, you're just going to pick your one thing.
230
Like, this is your keystone habit that moves the dial, you know, in your goals and in your life.
231
It is the, what I like to call the biggest lever in your life.
232
If I could pull one lever that changed my life in my business
233
or in my fitness or in my health or whatever it might be for you, this is it.
234
That's the keystone habit that you want.
235
And so you've got to ask yourself, like, what would make everything in my business easier or unnecessary?
236
Or what make everything in my health easier or unnecessary?
237
You know, what do I avoid because it's important and hard?
238
What would I still care about if I didn't have any external validation?
239
You know, what's the biggest thing
240
that I can do every day for the next 90 days to move the needle in my life.
241
So it could be something like writing 500 words for your book every morning.
242
You do that for 90 days.
243
What is that?
244
45,000 words?
245
That's about twice what the average book is.
246
That sounds like a pretty good idea.
247
500 words every single morning.
248
It could be something like creating content for your brand every single morning.
249
It could be learning a skill that you've been avoiding.
250
It could be training your body every single morning.
251
It could be training your brain every single morning.
252
So it could be like a hardcore workout or a run or weightlifting,
253
or it could be meditating and just training your body and your brain to just sit and chill.
254
So that's the first thing is to figure out exactly what it's going to be.
255
Number two, choose your 90-minute block.
256
Make it sacred.
257
Make it mean something.
258
This is important.
259
And then make it the first thing that you do on your workday.
260
before email and other people pull you in.
261
And so what you're gonna do, it's 90 minutes, 9.30 a.m every single day, from 9.30 to 11, cool.
262
You get to the office, you say hi to everybody, you do what you need to do, and then everybody knows from 9.30 to 11,
263
Jeff is in there, he's getting his stuff done, don't come in.
264
And you're gonna put your phone, you're gonna turn your phone off, you're gonna put in your desk drawer or put in another room, you're gonna use noise-canceling headphones,
265
you're going to put on songs like, you know, just slow EDM songs with no lyrics in it or piano songs, whatever it is, use the same song,
266
just that keeps playing over and over again.
267
And then your deep work is your uninterrupted time blocks where you're going to sit down
268
and make this a ritual and this ritual is going to change your life.
269
So that's the second thing.
270
Number three is to actually track the days every single day.
271
And so use a physical calendar.
272
You could use Notion if you want to, but I prefer a physical calendar that you put on your wall.
273
I got this from Jerry Seinfeld.
274
He didn't tell me this, but I've seen, you know, they call it the Seinfeld calendar.
275
When Jerry Seinfeld was, you know, really starting to become famous, another new comment came up to him and he's like, hey, Jerry, like I'm working on myself.
276
I'm trying to become better.
277
What do I do?
278
And Jerry said, just write jokes every single day.
279
Every day, you're going to write a bunch of crappy jokes, but just write jokes every single day.
280
Eventually, you're going to get some good ones out of it.
281
And then what you do is you have a calendar, you put it on your wall, and whenever you end up writing jokes for that day, you put a big red X on that day.
282
And then what happens is you start to see a chain of Xs and you don't want to break the chain.
283
And so you actually have drive to keep that chain going.
284
So every day you just put a red X through it.
285
And this creates this consistency chain in your, you want yourself to hate breaking the chain.
286
And so, you know, Jerry Seinfeld's actually quoted saying, don't break the streak.
287
And there was a study that was done in 2009
288
that showed that repeating an activity daily for approximately 66 days builds automacy,
289
making it the action, making the action itself more habitual and effort-free over time.
290
So it actually becomes more automatic and natural for you.
291
So that's step number three.
292
And then step number four, just plan for resistance.
293
You know, here's what's going to happen.
294
You're going to get bored.
295
You're going to want to skip a day.
296
You're going to want to convince yourself that it's not working.
297
That's your comfort zone, throwing a tantrum.
298
Your job is not to avoid the resistance because you're going to feel the resistance no matter what.
299
Your job is to expect the resistance, to normalize the resistance and to decide to do it anyways.
300
You're not going to want to do it.
301
Guess what?
302
Nobody wants to do it.
303
Join the club.
304
Everybody feels this way.
305
You're not out of the ordinary, but you need to be the type of person that does it anyways.
306
Now, you might ask yourself, like, what do I do if I fall off?
307
Okay, you will miss days.
308
That's not failure.
309
It's feedback.
310
That's the important thing.
311
If you miss one day, fine.
312
Investigate.
313
Just don't miss two days in a row.
314
You know, investigate.
315
What did I do?
316
What did I not do?
317
How can I make sure I don't miss it tomorrow?
318
These missteps where you miss a day, use as data so that you can make sure that you don't do it again.
319
Revisit your why.
320
Re-anchor yourself in your routine.
321
Remember, the goal is not perfection.
322
The goal is to be as consistent as we possibly can.
323
Not to be consistent 100% of days until the day we die, but to be consistent as we possibly can.
324
And if you do this, you're going to start to notice.
325
Your mornings are going to feel really powerful.
326
Your focus is going to last longer.
327
You don't need to motivate yourself because you're just going to do it anyways.
328
You just do the thing.
329
And you've collected enough data points over 90 days to go, huh, you know what?
330
Maybe I can trust myself.
331
Maybe I am the type of person that follows through.
332
You'll have more confidence in yourself.
333
You'll have built more self-trust.
334
Consistency becomes who you are.
335
And that's the most important part of it.
336
If you can become consistent in your identity, you will change your world.
337

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
