4 stages oh habits formation:
  1. Noticing (motivation intentions)
    Many people think they lack motivation,
    when what they really lack is clarity
  2. Wanting
    driver of habits: physical environment
  3. Doing
    Optimize for the starting line, not the finish line
  4. Liking
    The only reason we repeat behaviors is because we like them.
    You need to experience rewards along the way.

Atomic Habits: Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results by James Clear


PNTV: Atomic Habits by James Clear - YouTube (review by Brian Johnson)

  • tiny = mighty (compound effect over time)
  • plateau of latent potential: it takes time to observe changes
  • identity = repeated being
  • 4 laws
    • cue: obvious 
    • craving: attractive (for good habits)
    • response: easy (for good, make it hard for bad)
    • reward: satisfying (opposite for bad)
  • sorites (pile, heap) paradox: plus one alone does not make wealthy, over time it could

Watch out, if you don't manage your habits, others will do it for you!




The Hook Model by Nir Eyal
  1. Trigger
  2. Action
  3. Variable Reward
  4. Investment
  • An atomic habit is a regular practice or routine that is not only small and easy to do but is also the source of incredible power; a component of the system of compound growth.
  • Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don’t want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change.
  • Changes that seem small and unimportant at first will compound into remarkable results if you’re willing to stick with them for years.
