Habits and Systems
Hello.💙 How are you doing and trust you are keeping safe!
Sometimes, we make a to-do list of what we want to achieve for a particular day and realise that there's a lot that hasn't been ticked off at the end of the day. Maybe what you actually need is a System, your own system to work with.
ATOMIC HABIT BY JAMES CLEAR| 4.5/5 🎆
If successful and unsuccessful people share the same goals, then the goal cannot be what differentiates the winner from the looser
Most times, when we don't achieve that desired result or goal, our first instinct often is to change that result. James Clear, however, in his book is of the view that what needs to be changed isn't the result but rather the process of achieving that result.

Being specific about what you want, and how you want to achieve it requires building habits, sticking to those habits and breaking the bad ones. Atomic habit, cover in details, laws that help build a reliable habit system which later plays out to positively impact every other aspect of one's life. The book also expatiated on bad habits, why we stick up to them and how best to drop them

A self-help book, the practical steps, and templates provided in the book made it relatable and easy to understand. Humanly, I love also the author's representation of building habits and breaking bad ones as a progressive, gradual act and not something to be achieved in a twinkle of an eye.

I however feel that the book could have passed on as an 80 pages book instead of the 123 pages it is as it felt like some ideas were repeated.

From stopping procrastination, eating late into the night and other bad habits you want to pull the plug on to improving productivity at work, and accomplishing more, Atomic Habit is that book you should go on a ride with.
