What Carr does is flip the normal \u201chow to quit smoking\u201d routine around. Instead of blathering on about how bad smoking is for you, he goes over every perceived advantage that tobacco has and obliterates it.<\/em><br><br><em>For example, I would say to myself something like, \u201cSmoking is a good cure for boredom.\u201d Well, that\u2019s dumb because it\u2019s actually rather challenging to think of anything at all that is more boring that smoking a cigarette.<\/em><br><br><em>\u201cIt relaxes me.\u201d Nope, nicotine is a chemical stimulant.<\/em><br><br><em>\u201cI like the taste.\u201d OK, quit. You\u2019re embarrassing yourself.<\/em><br><br><em>But, of course, there are the terrible withdrawal pangs, right? Well, sort of. As Carr notes:<\/em><br><br><em>\u201cMost smokers go all night without a cigarette. The withdrawal \u2018pangs\u2019 do not even wake them up. Many smokers will leave the bedroom before they light that first cigarette; many will have breakfast first. Increasingly people don\u2019t smoke in their homes and won\u2019t have that first cigarette until they are in the car on the way to work\u2026 These smokers have eight or maybe ten hours without a cigarette\u2014going through withdrawal all the while, but it doesn\u2019t seem to bother them\u201d.<\/em><br><br><em>Yes, the withdrawal pangs exist, but they are mostly caused by the feeling of being deprived. That mental state is what really causes people who are quitting to jones for a cigarette.<\/em><br><br><em>So, How Does This Relate to Real Estate and Business?<\/em><br><br><em>Well, the point is that one of the reasons that quitting smoking is so hard (just like many other life changes) is because we are desiring an illusory goal. Carr describes a conversation he had with someone after he had quit smoking for three weeks using the \u201cwillpower method\u201d:<\/em><br><br><em>\u201cHe said, \u2018How are you getting on?\u2019<\/em><br><br><em>\u201cI said, \u2018I\u2019ve survived three weeks.\u2019<\/em><br><br><em>\u201cHe said, \u2018What do you mean, you\u2019ve survived three weeks?\u2019<\/em><br><br><em>\u201cI said, \u2018I\u2019ve gone three weeks without a cigarette.\u2019<\/em><br><br><em>\u201cHe said, \u2018What are you going to do? Survive the rest of your life? What are you waiting for? You\u2019ve done it. You\u2019re a non-smoker.\u2019<\/em><br><br><em>\u201cI thought. \u2018He\u2019s absolutely right. What am I waiting for?\u2019 Unfortunately, because I didn\u2019t fully understand the nature of the trap at that time, I was soon back in it, but the point was noted. You become a non-smoker when you extinguish your last cigarette. The important thing is to be a happy non-smoker from the start.\u201d<\/em><br><br><em>And that\u2019s sort of the beauty of Carr\u2019s method\u2014as well as the concept of systematizing your life in general. As Carr points out, smokers who try to quit using the \u201cwillpower method\u201d are \u201cnever quite sure whether they\u2019ve kicked it.\u201d Indeed, how do you know when you\u2019ve reached a goal of not doing something?<\/em><br><br>Andrew goes on to make some really interesting comparisons between quitting smoking and success in the real estate business.<br><br>Congratulations to Andrew
