Hey, I was wondering how you used the knowledge you gained from the book to your advantage. Did you make routines, and could you give me some examples?

[@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.

“Be the designer of your world and not merely the consumer of it.” A good quote from this book. There's a workbook called 30 Days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels that I also like for mindfulness.

[@barbarasianesi4628]

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.

[@Mindful.Facts.Official]

Yes!! Agree 100%

[@seanjacob4633]

wow, he actually presented the first chapter of his book almost word to word 😲

[@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.

This talk is a masterpiece. From Stage 3: Doing to the end of it, I can't stop playing it in repeat. Every statement from James Clear is clear and practical at the same time. Can't get clearer, more inspirational, or more practical than that.

[@ricardoberbor]

James is amazing, I truly recommend his newsletter.

[@13beyeker]

Very well done, Ihave been a big fan of With Winning in Mind by Lanny Basham. Your research and Ideas mesh with his book perfectly. Be process focused not out come focused. Writing down your goals in a positive action statement and envisioning what you want to become as well as the concept of you either win or you learn from each of your endeavors. I love the fact that you use sources from sport, and art and science all areas that I value.

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.

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

Every action you take is a vote for the person you want to become.

[@Convertkit]

Such a good principle to remember.

[@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 !
