…if you could only develop one habit so you could be more successful and happy, what would it be?

—Brian Tracey, X Live Broadcast

What is 99x of ?

It is a work in progress. 99x of is my shorthand for the belief that we can fundamentally change/add personal traits to increase our happiness and reduce self-induced pains and frustrations.

I am working on two parts.

1. Theory

The first will be a series about my learnings, notes, and previous experiences and personal experiments with creating personal lasting change.

2. Personal Experiments

The second will be ongoing experiments including this first one on "building grit" -- my answer to Brian Tracey's question.

My life so far has been full of theory and far too little action. Theory without action can deceive me into thinking that I know more than I really do. I am looking to put myself under public scrutiny as I attempt to apply everything I think know about change into a series of experiments, both personal and willing volunteers.
