THIS IS THE BEST TIME!

I was watching a Thomas Frank video earlier. Since a lot of people are starting college/school these days. Let me introduce you to this concept. Bear with me here.

"First, I wanna talk about, just the changing of habits. So in Charles Duhigg's book, The Power of Habit, which I have read and highly recommend, he talks about how people are apt to change their set patterns, their regular behaviors, more often during large life changes, such as moving to a new house, or becoming a parent, or getting married. People who get married or move to a new house are really apt to change the brand of coffee they drink or the cereal they eat. And the book mentions that people going through these big life changes are actually more vulnerable to marketers because of these huge upheavals in their life. Now, this is great information for marketers, maybe not such great information for you if you wanna be a discerning shopper. But it is good information for you if you wanna change you own habits because just as those habits are vulnerable to marketers, they're also vulnerable to intervention on your own part, right?! So a new semester is a perfect time to look at your habits and see what changes you can make, see what systems you can build to become more efficient and effective as the semester goes on."

I say: "So a new semester is a perfect time to look at your habits and see what changes you can make, see what systems you can build to become a better human being in general. Let's say you wanna implement the new habit of praying regularly or get rid of this one bad habit that you never was able to get rid of, THIS IS THE BEST TIME!"
