Habits and Changes We Want to Make in 2026

In the latest episode of the Syntax podcast, "Habits and Changes We Want to Make in 2026," hosts Wes Bos and Scott Tolinski discuss the value of setting realistic goals for the new year. Rather than chasing big, often unsustainable resolutions, they advocate for building better habits through small, incremental changes and practical systems that actually stick.

Wes shares his focus on increasing daily physical activity, improving his morning routine, managing email more effectively, and boosting his typing speed. Scott, meanwhile, talks about embracing daily to-do lists, adopting a minimalist lifestyle, listening to more self-help books, and tracking long-term habits. Both hosts emphasize the importance of "shipping more things"—completing projects and making steady progress.

Listeners will find actionable advice on how to make meaningful changes by prioritizing consistency over perfection and choosing manageable adjustments that lead to lasting results.
