Booksplanation- Atomic habits

It’s the ‘milli’ things that matter. Be it building great things or cultivating habits. Atomic habits uncovers the hacks and science of building habits. It revolves around two principles

• Good habits make time your ally. Bad habits make time your enemy.
• Time magnifies the margin between success and failure. Tiny changes (good and bad) compound over time.

A few hacks from Atomic habits that helped me

• Make habits a part of your identity. Ex- Don’t lose weight, try to become fitter.
• Habit stacking- Stack a new habit over what you already do. Ex-I will write after my morning coffee.
• Be part of a culture where your desired behaviour is the normal behaviour. Ex- A group that writes everyday.
• Instantaneous rewards drive habit repetition. Ex- Workout to change your mood/feel(instant reward) and not to lose weight (delayed reward).
