Atomic Habits: How to Get 1% Better Every Day - James Clear

Metadata
- Document Note: - If you were able improve 1% once per day, you'd be 38x better by end of year
4 Stages of Habit Formation:- Noticing
- Implementation Intentions
- When
- Where
- How
- Remove Decision Making
- Failure Premortem
- Think about what you want to work on
- Fast Forward 6 months and describe what caused you to fail
- Conditional ways of dealing with exceptions (If I miss Monday, I work out Tuesday instead)
- Wanting
- You can design your environment to reinforce the way you act
- You can also be impacted by a negative environment
- Doing
- First: Shutup and put the reps in
- Optimize for the starting line, not the finish line
- Make it as easy as possible to get started
- Liking
- Bring a reward into the moment
- Most good things have an immediate cost but a delayed reward
- Best way to change long term behavior is with short term feedback
- Get a wall calendar, and put an x on every day you do the thing you are building a goal
- The actions that you take provide evidence for 'who you are', things that you do consistently/frequently is a vote for your identity
True Change is Identity Change - The goal is not to read a book, the goal is to become a reader
