I took James Clear's masterclass on habits Here are the takeaways

[@manderzzXDD]

Love this! I hate to admit but I’m someone that needs a list to get my day done. This year I needed to make some changes so I started writing “Things to Achieve Today ⭐️” instead of To-Do list and it’s helped reframed my mundane tasks. I’ll write “take back your space today” instead of “ clean house” and it’s true it’s helped me view those things as not so big and scary. Your content is always so helpful thank you for your hard work ❤

[@gottes1stsenpai30]

Love the "take back your space today". I will copy from you, that is hilarious!

[@Noah-lo9vb]

Why hate to admit? That's fantastic! You're fantastic!

[@Hhhhhhhhhhhh115]

I’m the exact same! I live my days list by list, I will definitely be rewording my tasks like you’ve described :)

[@advancedfirefly]

whats wrong with a to do list?

[@Laf631]

I like the idea of setting your goals to "what is something you on even your worst day could manage" because I know I often feel overwhelmed and that derails everything.

[@desireer6915]

Me too! Tbh I had depression and this reframed how I built new habits and stuck to them. It helped me A LOT. ❤

[@aurora6920]

This hit home as I have a new born baby, so tiring and no free time! So I really have to stick to a basic plan and accept I can't do most things.

[@xotoast]

Thank you for taking this course and bite sizing it. I think self help books really work for a lot of people. But some of these absolutes they say can be really damaging for anyone who has mental health issues and disabilities. "If you're not improving everyday you're ZERO" is not true. But it sounds nice and dramatic for that productivity grind. Work you've done in the past will come back quickly once you start again. You're never starting from zero. Don't worry.

[@clau_sing_]

I was thinking about habits today and how I want to teach an English lesson that revolves around this topic, I want to give my student some encouragement to change her bad habits and I'll definitely take points from here! Crazy how obvious all of this sounds when you hear it but you rarely think about it on the daily

[@chinchy9060]

that sounds great!

[@clau6972]

James Clear's book is amazing for anyone, but especially for certain people, such as pwrfectionists. Seriously, the 2 minute rule is life changing

[@JasTavares]

I truly learn so much from her.

[@davidbowman2035]

I started reading 'Atomic Habits' last week and it is transformational.

[@ToastAbrikoos]

Thanks, I needed that! The identity part was such an eye opener in the Atomic habits book! It's really the 'fake it until you make it' but it has so much power to it

[@theotherway1639]

There's also the workbook on mindfulness called 30 Days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels that I like. It goes well with James' book.

[@MrBbbakersk]

I am grateful for your content.

[@relationalintelligence]

I loved his book after I read it a couple years back. Thought it was really CLEAR. It was nice to return to these concepts. Thank you!

[@Weiningc66]

wow, that 2 minute rule sound really interesting. thanks for this!

[@Umbra_of_Emberspike]

Just what I needed to hear, a step by step guide for starting good and breaking bad habits in a summarized nutshell. I'm glad I can always count on you for abridged therapy that works.

[@kionaholmes6808]

I'am giong back to read that book before the end of the year ends.

[@sophiefuldauer]

I watched this twice and took notes! thank you this was gold!! Thank you for the cheat sheet!

[@irenebel9225]

Your videos really inspired me 🥺 I love the way you explain things 🙌🏻 love you Anna 🥰💖❤

[@Lycandros]

Embedded captions, nice.

[@BkhammoYou]

That was a very clear summary of his teachings.

[@TheBart990]

This is value added. Idk why Anna does not get the views she deserves.

[@willyct207]

I am so glad Miss Anna did quit smoking long ago!!!

[@shemarlosscott2656]

Its a Good Thing Anna Akana Class is Very Important

[@austongreen9883]

"habit" and "addict" rhyme, but more importantly, "meat motherboard" and "immediate reward" also rhyme

[@mekman4]

This was super helpful! Great Stuff!

[@huplim]

Thank you Anna!

[@cupokat5998]

Read AH early this year and kinda forgot about it, this is a great refresher!

[@rubyventures]

This is sooooo good! Thank you Anna!

[@emmanueld.1816]

One of my favorite books ever. Great summary Anna.

[@carloscampo9119]

Life is better with Anna Akana, doing therapy and learning things for our enjoyment in 5 minute videos

[@aurora6920]

So many great tips!! Thank you for sharing them!

[@leilamovieclub]

I just finished Atomic habits. Literally the day you posted this (sketchy I KNOW) Thanks for reviewing it.

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

Awesome job Anna

[@PoKingi]

Girl I love ur work

[@crocodilesmiles8095]

I read atomic habits through audiobook earlier this year. I'm still yet to make goals, but I could see how it was helpful.

[@me-zs7tr]

i love the takeaways series

[@RodneyCurtis]

Thank you, Anna; these are great!

[@7head7metal7]

This was great, thank you!

[@Sarizzlista]

love your videos, thank you

[@kardelenkoc9746]

8:58 i think logging my habits i a task in an of it self and i dont log them after a week. i've tried paper and pen. i've tried apps i even have notifications everyday but thyre just nuisance to me

[@timothywiens9384]

I really enjoy your videos, but I was wondering about how much you've looked into betterhelp. There seems to be controversy over whether all their therapists are qualified and about how well they are vetted.

[@DayDreamOfUnicorns]

thank you this is amazing

[@Frankcirque]

James is right! Start small be there on Wednesday training!

[@candicefaithv]

This was so amazing

[@ThuthukileRadebe]

Love your videos ❤❤

[@melanya.a1452]

Gracias ❤

[@resh8198]

If you started at 100 and improved 1% each day 100×1.01^365.25 = 3787 which is around 37.87 times better by the end of the year. So the maths does check out. If you start at 100 and become 1% worse everyday for a year then 100×(1−0.01)^365.25 which will result in you being around 2.54 by the last day. So kinda almost zero.

[@ratsalad178]

thanks for the math!

[@johamu4]

This idea drives me nuts. It's not like many of our habits compound. If you eat 100 calories less than you burn, you don't get to take that deficit and even carry it to the next day, much less use it to eat even fewer calories. Or even if you have a bad day where you watch youTube videos all day. You are not forced to watch even more becuase of yesterday's decisions. The math is correct; the analogy is ok; but the inference is asinine.

[@deeptochatterjee532]

Damn, what a subtle Atlanta reference. That was nice, Anna

[@Ryanscoolness]

I get to learn from marvelous people and create my own unique experiences.

[@MajorTrollerHAK]

Haven't seen that dump truck yet had me rollin!

[@wei4669]

Great content.

[@kardelenkoc9746]

somebody please tell me what my problem is: i avoid doing anything useful and i waste my time. even in entertainment, i don't chase or do things that will be fun but i do the ones that require least effort even if it's unbearably boring. let's say i heard about a movie that i'd like i can never open the app and turn the movie on. even if i put it in a watch later list i chose to procrastinate it to infinity. my dreams are pretty reachable but i don't chase them. i have the time but feel a huge resistance and i feel like im being strangled so i just quit whatever it is. this applies to hobbies too, i can't stand doing something that i loved doing for hours. i also lack any motivation, ambition, excitement, hope. yes i am suffering from depression but there has to be a solution. my environment is depressing me too but my goal and dream is to change the environment so that's not gonna get better by itself. also sometimes i force myself to try something or do something beneficial. and sometimes it's not hard but i still quit doing that. is this self sabotage? do i think i dont deserve anything good? or is this falling into bad habits (of wasting my time)? is it just major depression? or is it someting else?

[@ratsalad178]

ive been in the same place as you for a couple years and it turns out I was/am heavily dysregulated and constantly in a 'freeze' state - avoidance and disengagement became my default mode of operation wherever I felt distress or discomfort, which is all the time if you suppress all your emotions all the time. look up nervous system dysregulation, flight/fight/freeze states and see if it resonates with you

[@levirouse1701]

This sounds like ADHD. Maybe talk to a doctor.

[@xav9156]

Intention + Action + Practice + Consistency + Habit = It becomes who you are. Love Xav . Nice wink at 1:29...

[@MrVevo73]

I don't get how come there's only 45k views, people are missing out

[@lis9211]

Doom scrolling or phone addiction is a really common habit people want to break (myself included!!). I'm trying to think of how you'd make it invisible, unattractive and difficult...apart from hiding my phone I can't think of much else.

[@7head7metal7]

I was wasting too much time on Reddit, so I had to make it difficult: I uninstalled the app and set up a timer for the website. Without the app, the experience is already less fun, and the time kicks me out if I still spend too much time. It worked so well that I set the timer down to zero, and only disable it temporarily if I actually need to look something up. Same with other apps: uninstalled them, so logging on manually in the browser each time is too annoying for a quick waste of time.

[@MomoMensch]

you could hide the apps you are using. most phones have the option of putting them in a folder! I think it is also helpful to substitute it with another habit. something that satisfies you, is not a lot of effort and maybe you can even identify with it.. like reading or knitting or maybe sudoku :D i don't know whats fun for you :D but with knitting and sudoku or crossword puzzles you see progress and it is easy to stop once you get an idea what to do next :)

[@aurora6920]

I turned off notifications which helped and also I plan when to allow myself to look at social media e.g. for a 5 minute break before putting washing on.

[@MrSean737]

You can put your phone in Black and white

[@bobnevermind]

It funny how hard it is to get into new habits but easy to get back into old ones. So many times I have built up going to the gym 4 times a week, but then get ill and then after get lazy even when better.

[@kennethdubard9065]

This is some Covey level advice.

[@kateslaney7846]

A great book that goes into this further, especially identity shifting is psycho cybernetics by Dr. Maxwell Maltz !

[@adrianruvalcaba3897]

It's gonna be safe

[@jayg1316]

Tell me why I thought the title was that Anna attended "Jame's Charles' Master Class"

[@lifewithcharis]

I need to watch this every morning.. LOL

[@jonathanmurdock999]

I feel somewhat that the climactic music, is good , but at moments , sounds like its a dual. Just letting know with care. Rapid fire facts , with your satirical spin is awesome.

[@vanilla_sky25]

Thank you, Anna.❤ it's a free therapy lol

[@Dragonmoon1598]

Also, avoid fake success. Don't recall the actual psychology term. Basically, it's where you say you're going to do something and get praise for it. But, because of the "sense" of accomplishment, you never actually follow through.

[@amrthabet4455]

I'm not sure if I can tell my boss "I have to pee ... Outside!" 😂

[@Demetrius900000]

Wait, what if my cue is exactly plans like you describe at 3:30? I instantly feel revulsion and being forced into something, and don't want to follow through even if it's good for me. Any advice?

[@davidproangler6258]

Be disciplined. We don’t have to want to do everything.

[@_astralkiss_3015]

not me buying that book only to forget it minutes later in the cab

[@heikothedwarf]

The only reason I work out consistently is because I always work out after work. I go into work on account of wanting money to stay alive -> I go to the gym after work, because *that's what I do*

[@NovelNovelist]

TBH the "get 1% better every day" thing right at the beginning is what made me put the book down and lose excitement about it. It's a preposterous notion. Getting 1% better each day is absolutely possible in the beginning-to-middle phases of something, but there comes a point where you simply peak. You CAN'T do the thing any better than you're doing it at some point. We don't have infinite capacity to improve in a given area. This shouldn't be confused with the adage that "There's always room for improvement." There IS always room for improvement. No one is perfect at anything. But people can't be perfect. So eventually they're going to top out on what they can do -- and there'll still be room for improvement (that they can't make).

Hi anna akana ❤ I love you 🥲❤💖.

Did Anna real just make a Paper Boi reference 😆🤣

Delayed gratification is tough to follow through. Just give me my reward now, mainly money.

What's the song at 3 mins

She won me over at outfit

[@liamodonovan6610]

Beautiful anna love you're video's you are an intelligent woman

[@melusine826]

The 1% does not work for many people. Consistancy and systems is good. But the productivity grind is not a sustainable approach

[@adrianruvalcaba3897]

I knew it by their way sometimes beautiful hardly together.

[@noefc]

And where'd you go on Instagram, did I get blocked for the 4th wing chapter 30 comment?

[@xavier_aujla]

I'm just surprised she watched Atlanta.

3:55 jokes on you

[@LaceyJuk]

I need Atomic Habits (neurodivergent version.)

[@stuff5652]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sabershadow27]

Any neurodivergent people here? I'm curious if these work for neurodivergent people too. I think I've done this a few times. Like with Duolingo and learning Japanese.

[@thatbberg]

Yep, for us habit building can be a lot harder, but the same principles still apply. I found Tiny Habits from BJ Fogg more helpful than Atomic Habits personally since it focuses more on the mindset side too, which is important when we're more likely to have misses and mess-ups that we need to be kind to ourselves about.

[@AnnaMaria-dg7jv]

Not me reading James Charles
