Five Good Questions: 

  1. What makes being thoughtful about our habits so important?
  2. What are a few best practices for good habit hygiene?
  3. What habit would you guess is a commonality among great investors? Or maybe, we should invert and ask what are the bad habits of investing? I’m imagining checking stock prices too often has to be up there?
  4. Is there a dark side to habits? Is it possible that too much structure can sap away spontaneity, joie de vivre, and being present?
  5. What’s the one bad habit that’s been hardest for you to personally break?
