[@reemobrooklyn3557]

@@musabaminullah Absolutely love that book! One thing I implemented was the reward concept. I have a bad habit of sitting on KZbin for too long (like I am now lol) so what I did as a reward concept was 10 minutes of study rewards me 10 minutes of KZbin time. If I wanted to be on KZbin longer I had to study longer. It become 20 minutes of study to reward 20 minutes KZbin, etc. Now studying pretty much all day is easy for me and I'm mostly on here for information and I idle time here on my lunch break.

putting all your energy into the starting line (and not the finishing line) is some good advice right there

[@kekp3286]

1. The aggregation of marginal gains. 2. Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement. 3. Good habits make time your ally. 4. Bad habits make time your enemy. 5. Four stages of habit formation - noticing, wanting, doing, and liking. 6. Many people think they lack motivation when what they really lack is clarity. 7. Give your goals a time and place to live in the world. 8. You want to put more steps between you and the bad behavior and fewer steps between you and the good behavior. 9. Optimize for the starting line, not the finish line. 10. The best way to change long term behavior is with short term feedback.

I love this talk! So much content, nicely condensed, perfectly weighted with evidence (scientific studies) and personal anecdotes. I've been following James for ages, but still found the talk so new and fresh. And I just love the "Every action that you take is actually a vote for the type of person that you want to become" -- definitely worth having as a mantra! Thank you, James.

I sit here drunk, consciously aware of my bad habits, but also seeking anything that can bring back my motivation.

[@marij5589]

Stop drinking...it's tough. I'm only on day 14 myself...but you'll gain more clarity. I can finally finish my thoughts...I had gotten so used to them fizzling out. I put my goals into a spreadsheet, broken down by tasks. Everyday I work on an item for 2 hours (that's all. No crazy 10-12 hour workdays) My self-esteem has increased and my self-shame has decreased. I wish you well.

[@costalsmusik]

dude DON'T WAIT FOR MOTIVATION TO SHOW UP BY ITSELF LIKE MAGIC. Motivation comes from action. Watch this vid once a month and ACT on it. Internalise it.

[@teresamarieinbarrera6267]

Could you postpone that first drink a few minutes longer each time? Could you make the liquor so hard to get to that occasionally you'll feel it's not worth the effort? Could you schedule some other pleasant activity during the usual drinking times? The motivation could be that there are thousands of lives that you can touch and inspire with the story of how your inner strength helped you beat this habit that was hiding all your amazing talents and personal qualities. You can do it, just one minute at a time.

"don't break the chain!" ....so good!!

[@hrdept.7903]

James is the only motivational/inspirational speaker I admired truly due to the fact his materials (unlike some inspirational guro on KZbin) has actual Science but with practical application and easy to understand. I have been sign up to his newsletter for years now and there are a lot of articles for everybody. I never bother to search on KZbin before for him because the articles are easy to understand I can hear him saying it and now he just pop up on my recommendation and best thing ever happened.

[@Jaszleemin]

[@thommiller8764]

James Clear, you are awesome!

[@JulyRuliia]

A quick reminder for me : . Decide What + Where + When + When specifically . Prepare to Fail to know what you'll do to fix it . Availability of Options makes you able to choose the bad things - remove what's bad . Lower friction between Good habits and you and Increase it for Bad habits. . Quantity Is better than Quality (at the beginning) . Focus on How to start rather than the finishing line . Habits are the first 2 minutes . If it only takes 2 minutes, do it now . Find/Create a reward in the Good things you do that have a long time reward !

[@Chaosdude341]

That repetition spectrum is an absolutely incredible concept!

[@MrBablek]

James makes everything about changing habits to the better so.... CLEAR!!! Love the vid!

[@mty1966]

17:37 (4) Liking - reason why we repeat we like them. We need to experience the rewards along the way. 17:57 The problem with good habits...rewards delayed. 18:50 How to bring reward forward, one example...Seinfeld Strategy... Write better joke...write everyday...keep calendar and KEEP SCORE don’t break the chain. MEASURING brings reward forward. Don’t miss twice RULE

9:14 (2) Wanting - overlooked drivers for habit change, our environment. 9:27 (2) Wanting - The Massachusetts General Hospital experiment, Harvard research on how it change behaviors without people saying anything. 10:42 Interesting insight about our desire...because we presented with it...11:07 You can also the architect for your behavior. 11:46 environment shapes our behavior. 12:06 Don’t rely on will power and self-control (you can’t win in the long run) 13:10(2) Wanting - The core idea about wanting. Fewer steps to good behavior.

His meticulous style of teaching resonates with me I don’t do very well with vagueness I prefer things to be very specific with no room for interpretation and that’s why I love atomic habits he don’t say Shit like “just push yourself” or “how bad to u want it!!?” He talks about the ins and outs

[@Vladd7]

What he talks about here is, I believe, the very foundation for success in anything you want to do.

[@MG007.]

Good presentation. With regards to Social Media. I don't need it nor do I have the apps on my phone because I don't use them. I just focus on what is really important in achieving my goals. Other than the necessities of life I just refuse to get distracted because I don't get back time.

The way we think and act is part and parcel of our habits. So habit is what we are..

[@RSLtreecare]

Powerful. I have tried to follow this principle in the past, but always drop out when the challenges build up. I fall back. I have overcome a number of Problems. An accident in 1985 left me with a head injury. I spent two year plus relearning the basic skills. Then went to collage, finishing up with a degree in conservation. Following on from that, I have tried to develop a cardboard recycling, tree planting scheme, but this has been put back so many times I have almost given up… Now we are looking at re-running it and see how it develops. I came across your book, I have seen a number You Tubes talks and presentations. I read part of an episode and went to town and brought a copy.

[@Fantistisch]

Focus on starting the habit and make it so it only takes 2mins to start it. Kill the habit: Think about in half a years time if you didn't fulfill the habits, why? Then plan accordingly to avoid that (if I don't make it to the gym on Tuesday 8am, I'll go Wednesday 7pm). Make it so it's easy to do. Wanna eat more apples? Don't put them in the fridge, put them right in the center of the table. Create an immediate reward for habits with normally a long term reward. Eg measure your habit and cross off a day on a calendar you've been working out.
