Behaviors need to remain novel in order for them to stay attractive and satisfying.
It is emotion that allows you to mark things as good, bad, or indifferent.
You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.
Professionals stick to the schedule; amateurs let life get in the way.
The purpose of setting goals is to win the game. The purpose of building systems is to continue playing the game.
Atomic Habit: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones
Instead of trying to engineer a perfect habit from the start, do the easy thing on a more consistent basis.
It is unlikely that your actual path through life will match the exact journey you had in mind when you set out.
With the same habits, you’ll end with up with the same results. But with better habits, anything is possible.
The idea is to make it as easy as possible in the moment to do things that payoff in the long run.
Without reflection, we can make excuses, create rationalizations, and lie to ourselves.
One of our greatest challenges in changing habits is maintaining awareness of what we are actually doing.
What is rewarded is repeated. What is punished is avoided.
One of the most effective things you can do to build better habits is to join a culture where your desired behavior is the normal behavior.
We often dismiss small changes because they don’t seem to matter very much in the moment.
This is the secret to self-control. Make the cues of your good habits obvious and the cues of your bad habits invisible.
But one push-up is better than not exercising. It’s better to do less than you hoped than to do nothing at all.
The purpose of every habit is to solve the problems you face with as little energy and effort as possible.
