I recently finished Atomic Habits (would highly recommend) and found it had a big impact on my daily life. These are my key takeaways:
Getting 1% better every day counts for a lot in the long run.
Focus less on goals and more on systems and processes.
To change habits, change how you identify yourself (If you want to quit smoking, instead of telling yourself, “I wish to quit smoking,” tell yourself, “I’m not a smoker.”)
To build good habits, the environment is more important than being motivated.
Reduce friction for good habits and increase friction for bad habits.
Bundle an action you want to do with an action you need to do.
Simply starting a task is often the only motivation you need.
Consistency beats perfection.
To build good habits we should make them:
Visible
Attractive
Easy
Satisfactory
To break bad habits we should make them:
Invisible
Unattractive
Uneasy
Unsatisfactory
