How to use Atomic Habits by James Clear
1 Mindset shift
2 When to use it
3 How to use it
Taking on grand goals, fad diets, or huge commitments usually fails after a few months. Instead, small, consistent habits compound into remarkable long-term results.
When building new habits or changing behaviours sustainably.
Make habits... 1 obvious. 2 attractive. 3 easy. 4 satisfying. Stack a new habit on an old habit. Instead of setting a high target, start with just x1 per day. Improve by 1% daily and focus on consistency over intensity.
