Atomic Habits – January Book of the Month
I just finished reading my first book in 2021 titled, Atomic Habits by James Clear and it’s a must read to get your new year off to a great start. I recommend you to add this book to your collection and take advantage of the nuggets that the author left for us to use.
Below are a few Take-aways!
A habit is a routine or behavior that is performed regularly and in most cases automatically.
Habits are compound interest of self improvement.
The quality of our lives often depends on the quality of our habits.
Habits do not restrict freedom, they create it.

Temptation Bundling – linking an action you want to do with an action you need to do!
Forget about Goals Focus on Systems Instead!
Goals are about the results you want to achieve. Systems are about the processes that lead to those results.
You do not rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems.
We imitate the habits of 3 groups in particular –
The Close – new habits seem achievable when you see others doing them everyday.
The Many – there is tremendous internal pressure to comply with the norms of the group.
The Powerful – we want to be acknowledged, recognized and praised.
Atomic Habits is a great read and study… now it’s time to take action and implement those ideas!
Make it HAPPEN!!!
