Thought for the day

I'm reading a new book and found this quote and thought I'd share:
"People suck at following advice. Even the most effective people in the world are terrible at it.
There are two reasons:
1) Most people have insufficient reason for action. The pain isn't painful enough. It's a nice to have, not a must-have.
2) There are no reminders. No consistent tracking = no awareness = no behavioral change. Consistent tracking, even if you have no knowledge of fat-loss or exercise, will often beat advice from world-class trainers."
