Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear
informative
inspiring
medium-paced
2.5
Was really motivated after reading this and gave it 4 stars, but after going back to note down the parts I highlighted, I realised it was some useful tips, in between lots of waffling and questionable anecdotes (fatphobia and the implication slums have high rates of disease because the soap isn't nice enough ???)
The parts I found useful/interesting:
Systems > goals, and identity based goals > outcome based goals
Resetting and priming the room. Useful to keep in mind for trying to tackle my messiness.
The 2 minute rule OR, making the first step of the habit your goal rather than outcome. Something I already do with uni work - my goal is just to go to the library rather than write a certain amount.
And the "annual review" at the start of the year and an "integrity report" in June, basically just journalling and reflecting on yourself.
