How I use this book to tackle my bad habits (it's still WIP)

Not always easy to admit we have bad habits.

I mean, we all have, and we know that. Gotta be honest to ourself.

To what point they impact our life is another story.

Many books were written about habits. This one has been mentioned a few times in this group, and that's the one I try (still trying) to implement.

"Introducing" Atomic Habits by Jams Clear.

Small, consistent habits compound over time, yielding exponential results (both positive and negative). Remember: Improving just 1% daily makes you 37 times better by year-end.

Long-term change comes from modifying identity, not just behaviors. "Who you want to be" vs just "what you want to achieve."

Make good habits obvious, attractive, and satisfying. Make bad habits invisible, unattractive, difficult, and unsatisfying.

Goals define results, systems define processes. Focus on building systems for sustainable growth and continuous improvement.

Use habit scorecards to monitor behaviors (+1 for good, -1 for bad). I created a template for myself recently, you can download it.

Delayed gratification is powerful. Align habits with long-term rewards to make sticking to them easier.

Now it looks easy on theory, so a few actionable insights:

-> Develop dood habits by:

Attaching new habits to existing routines (habit stacking). Example: "After brushing teeth, I’ll read a non-fiction book for 30 minutes"
Starting small with the "two-minute rule" (start something for 2-minute even if you don't feel like doing it. Chances are you'll end up finishing your task) to make habits approachable.
