Book 1 Atomic Habits:

✅ Big idea of the book:

1% better everyday = 37.78 times better in a year, that’s 3778%, ROI return on your investment of doing the habits.

7 Big takeaways from the book:

1) Acknowledge that Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement—while it might not seem like much at first, the effects of your habits will compound over time and have a tremendous impact on your life.

2) Understand the structure of habits—all habits are made up of a cue, a routine, and a reward.

3) Make the cue obvious—make sure your cue is visible and easily accessible so that you’re reminded of the habit.

4) Make the reward satisfying—make sure that the reward is enjoyable and motivating so that you look forward to completing your habit.

5) Track your progress—keep a record of your progress to stay motivated and accountable.

6) Get an accountability partner—having someone to hold you accountable can help you stay on track and stay motivated.

7) Stay consistent—it’s more important to stay consistent than it is to be perfect.

✅ Here are the 10 Cool Tips I’ve learned from this book.

  1. Don’t be afraid to take baby steps – even if it means crawling towards your goals.
  2. Don’t wait until you’re ready – start now and you’ll surprise yourself with how far you can go.
  3. Make sure you take regular breaks from your habits – it’s ok to take a break once in a while to recharge.
  4. Don’t forget the power of delayed gratification – sometimes it’s worth it to wait for the bigger reward.
  5. Establishing habits is like a game of tug-of-war – so don’t be afraid to pull back when you need to.
  6. Don’t be too hard on yourself – it’s ok to make mistakes and learn from them.
  7. Automation is your friend – make use of technology to help you stay on track.
