Habits

If you were to get 1% better every day, you would be 365% better in a year.

Principles

Habits are small, automatic behaviors we continually do in our lives that can lead to suprising results over time
Habits shortcut the decision-making process
It will take 18 months to fully adopt a habit
- It takes 21 days to adopt a habit, 90 days for a permanent lifestyle change

The more we can automatically do, the more energy we have for other aspects of our lives
Provides momentum for the day
Habits help us stay productive even when we’re unsure of our goals
Habits + Deliberate Practice = Mastery

Results take time to form and are not instantaneous
- Sometimes, all the effort you put in is just slowly stored until it reaches the threshold, where everything finally pays off
Growth from habits is exponential, not linear
Habits should be long-term processes, not goals
- People may stop working on their systems after they reach their goal
Having an encouraging environment helps us stick to our habits
Tailor your habits to match your Personality
Habits suggest and cultivate our identity

Stages of an Behavior Change
When changing habits, it’s important to identify the Innate Desires of the habit we want to change, and to find new ways of achieving fulfillment in that area
