bed is for sleep, office is for work, etc.).ĭisciplined people make their decision-making easier by reducing exposure to tempting negative cues - it is not solely due to their strong will. Associate your environment with certain habits (e.g. Decide who you are, or who you want to become, and your habits will naturally build around that belief in order to strengthen your identity.Ĭontext: Habits are often triggered by cues, like time and location. The most effective way to change habits is through leveraging one’s Identity. “You do not rise to the level of your goals you fall to the level of your systems.” Although people from the outside tend to only notice the result of 101st strike, the man knows that it was not only the 101st strike that broke the rock, but the 100 strikes + 1. Atomic habits compound.Ī man painstakingly strikes a rock with a hammer 100 times until the rock finally shattered on the 101st swing. Small (atomic) decisions every day will eventually lead to major change, whether positive or negative. I'd recommend this book to anyone looking for some motivation or tips on starting and maintaining new habits, or breaking old ones. Although many of the concepts felt intuitive to me, I still think it's important to hear them clearly articulated (or see them outlined) in one place. It is packed with wisdom and Clear presents the information in such a way that one can immediately begin forming new habits as they progress through the book.
I don't typically listen to audiobooks, however, now, I will definitely be working them into my routine.Ītomic Habits is a worldwide bestseller for good reason. Since I was struggling to make time to read, I decided that I would listen to the audiobook version instead (narrated by the author, James Clear, himself). In an effort to get back on track, I figured that I'd give Atomic Habits a try, especially since nearly all the public figures whom I admire have mentioned it at one point or another.
I was drifting further away from achieving my goals as I was replacing good habits with bad ones, such as sleeping in instead of waking up early to write blog posts (which is why I've been absent for the last few weeks). Soon after starting the term I began to burn out. The course content increased, but the allotted time between exams shortened. This past semester (M1 Summer) was particularly challenging for me.
