Atomic Habits
A tip I got from the above book was to build a system that over time will make change, rather than aim for a goal (often without a system to reach it). I realised I was just WISHING to practice the piano but always told myself I never had time. After listening to the above advice I decided to start a routine in which I would practice the piano after all chores etc done in the evening, for only 5 mins (if I do more, great, but no pressure). This way, even on the hardest, busiest days, I can still maintain my routine. Herbie Hancock said that you don’t need to be good straight away, you just need to be better than yesterday. So I have been doing this every evening for about two weeks now and loving it, and feeling like I am better than yesterday. Never done less than half hour cause I get so into it but I love knowing that if I can’t, 5 mins is also fine. Hope this helps someone!
