- Atomic Habits can help you improve every day, no matter what your goals are. As one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, James Clear reveals practical strategies that will help you form good habits, break bad ones, and master tiny behaviors that lead to big changes.
If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. Instead, the issue is with your system. There is a reason bad habits repeat themselves over and over again, it's not that you are not willing to change, but that you have the wrong system for changing.
“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems” - James Clear
I’m a huge fan of this book, and as soon as I read it I knew it was going to make a big difference in my life, so I couldn’t wait to make a video on this book and share my ideas.
Here is a link to James Clear’s website, where I found he uploads a tonne of useful posts on motivation, habit formation and human psychology.

You're that one kid everyone wanted in their presentation group. Seriously this is amazing production quality.
Aside from misspelling Carl Jung, this was indeed a great pres
Awesome
YES I want you in my presentation group hahahah !!!

This is mind blowing. OMG!!!!!!
"The Goal is not to run a marathon, it's to become a runner."
I think this is an awesome mindset because not only does it help you stick to your habits, but it will make you comfortable with failure. Even if you don't complete that marathon, you're still a runner and it won't put you off trying again.
It also supports the idea that "personal image/identity" is a more effective way of forming or breaking habits over setting goals.
For example, in the context of breaking bad habits, when someone is trying to quit smoking, they usually say "I'm trying to quit so I shouldn't" when it's more effective to say "I'm not a smoker so I don't smoke".

best comment so far❤️
@@user-nermush_21 Thanks! I hadn't realised it gained a few likes until now!
not only that, if you just want to run the marathon, after you do it you'll probably stop working out. However, if you're a runner, you can't stop after running the marathon, you have to keep training or else you won't be a real runner
I'm currently reading "Nuclear Habits" by Ben Furey... totally counterintuitive but Im loving it lol
Time to get into quark habits
@@HelloMedicAnkit @David Ross is already in Quack habits. We know how Nuclear destroys life on the planet :(
But Radical, as the October Revolution of 1917 is sometimes necessary to show how we can break with conservatism ;)
This is just proof that the Unhealthy (Capitalist) System created contradicting information/"theories".
The key is to align the Subconscious mind (Social Values) with Conscious influence by the confusing System that enforces Individualism & self-destruction - for the benefit of few!!
How about hydrogen habits? 🤔😆
Oxygen Habits 😅
@@Olenka180188 bro get down ...to keep the trend alive you need to go down... right 👍
You have brought the whole 300-page book to this 28-minute visual presentation. I love your presentation skill. Thank you!
It's a good book. Can't be considered a waste of money. Better than spending money on junk foods
Still it is worthy reading those 300 pages.
Bloody hell mate this production value is insane
Surprised you haven’t seen this video before- I bet you’ve read the book though ahahaha
Hi Ali.....Big fan of your channel👍...Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.. Appreciated 🙏
sounds aussie
@@escaping.ordinary Please tell me what you use for the presentation I really need that. Btw loved the video 😄
I've been watching your summaries as well. My favorite being The Unfair Advantage.
I feel like internally, I always knew these things, but I’ve never acted on them. It’s nice to hear them plainly. :)
In the exact same boat my friend. Had it in my mind for ages but never took action
Same here
Yes like everybody dude.
literally everyone knows this things but doing a action will make you smart not by just thinking
yes, I read somewhere most people actually know what to do different, its just...they dont do it. People often know they are acting destructive, but pushing yourself to overcome your bad habits is the hard part
If you’re having trouble cleaning try making a list.
My wife bought a dry erase board and then a bunch of magnets to write on.
She put chores that take max 5 minutes on each one. Sweeping, wiping counters, scrub toilets etc.
Every time we finish a chore we take it off the board. This gamification of chores has helped us keep our house clean.
You get a sense of accomplishment from removing a magnet and when you see the chore is done you feel amazing at the cleanliness.
We try to make our way through the list in 7 days or less. But never being hard on ourselves if we don’t accomplish it.
Can you tell me it's name, or a link to amazon if available? Thanks
This is a great summary of a super helpful book. Once I had got my procrastination under control the Atomic Habits approach made me reach my language goals. I can truly say that these 3 steps worked for me: 1.From James Clear’s Atomic Habits: knowing that I was only going to work for 2-10 minutes a day on French helped me focus on developing the habit. It was pressure but kinda “fun” pressure to know this was my learning window and it was closing in a matter of minutes. 2. I kept my focus high in that 2-10 minute daily learning window by using the contrarian procrastination method from Michael Kennedy Your Success Method - removing my mental obstacles from prior failures and the everyday life barriers was key for me in getting going and keep committed. 3. James Clear in Atomic Habits talks about keeping the habit chain unbroken - this is super powerful shit if you are even vaguely competitive. After about 10 days straight of keeping the chain going and literally drawing an unbroken chain on my calendar (like he describes) I couldn’t face the very visual shame of the failure of a break in the chain. It's small things like this reinforced every day that cemented the habit in me.
I’m now waaaay better at French than before this approach - although not fluent or close to that - but six months in I can now finally see my own path to fluency - I’d say this was my breakthrough moment. 😊 Seeing the progress I have made doing only these 3 steps every day and knowing that this has gotten easy for me now (habit formed) makes me feel I can scale up and achieve whatever I can commit to. So freaking exciting to change up after years of stagnation and failures. I have a bunch of other goals I want to achieve now and I think it's all possible. I’m so thankful for these two books and videos like this that make the knowledge accessible 👏
Moi aussi. Par contre, je me suis servi de cette méthode pour améliorer mes peintures. Tous les soirs, je consacre 2 minutes (qui deviennent toujours 2 heures, tant que je m'y applique, une fois commencée), à la peinture ou au moins au dessin. Mes capacités se sont incroyablement augmentées.
Bonne continuation avec ton français!! Bravo!!

Kaisen?
Love this
@@kuznjecov yes Kaizen
reminds me of what kita from haikyuu says
yes! and wake up with purpose ... upload the subconscious every night ... then download in the morning
"get rid of social media" seems to be the number one key element in any of these type of motivational/life coaching-videos!
4 years post Fake-Book best business has increased 10 fold since I left the toxic fake brain washing platform!
I have got rid of most of the social media around 6 months ago. I keep TH-cam because I use a lot of learning videos. But the rest like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, ... I cancelled. It is awesome...
Which is a terrible, exaggerated suggestion. Using social media wisely is a better course of action. Like a tool, you should use it but not abuse it. You wouldn’t even be able to watch these videos without social media.
Lol people that let social media fuck with their lives suck😂 just use it to get money and you won’t be having a toxic relationship with it
I think the true and important difference is that social media should be controlled and used with purpose. Mindlessly scrolling on instagram will waste time and could subconsciously ruin your self esteem due to comparison. This is one example. When used consciously for specific purposes, it’s a net positive.
My notes :)
- A slight change in your daily habits can guide your life to a very different destination
- Massive success is not a result of massive steps, but small ones
- Compound effect is 1% better each day, which results in 37x better in a year
- Success is the produce of daily habits, not once-in a lifetime transformations
- Small changes are not noticeable( first stage known as valley of disappointment). To see change, you must stick to something for a while (exponential growth).
- Forget about goals, focus on systems instead. Not on the product, but the process of how you will get there
- Set specific realistic goals
- Goals are good for setting a direction, but systems are best for making progress
- Layers of behavior change: Outcomes, processes, identity. Most focus on outcomes, but successful people focus on identity or the person they want to become)
- Law 1: Make it obvious.
○ Create a habit scorecard, and label each habit positive, negative, or even
○ Unless you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate
○ Make habits clear (ex. "I will read a book for 15 minutes daily at 6am in the other bedroom", rather than "I will read this month")
○ Stack habits. After [current habit], I will [new habit]
○ Environment > Motivation. To drink more water, always have a water bottle around. To read more, always have a book nearby. Get bad habits out of sight
- Law 2: Make it attractive.
○ You can make hard habits more attractive if you can learn to associate them with a positive experience
○ Dopamine is not just linked to pleasure, but also when we anticipate it. Thus, the craving is what causes us to take action in the first place.
○ Use temptation bundling. Link working out with watching a show or listening to music, so you get something you want to do, when you do something you need to do.
○ Put yourself in the right environment. Do get fit, surround yourself with people who make going to the gym a norm.
○ Your habits are modern-day solutions to ancient desires. New versions of old vices. The underlying motives behind human behavior remain the same.
- Law 3: Make it easy
○ The more you do something, the easier it becomes over time
○ Easy habits are more likely to happen, so stick to an easy habit, and not wanting to wake up at 6 when being used to waking up at 8
○ Reduce friction from good habits, increase friction in bad habits.
○ 2-min rule to stop procrastinating. Start small with habits, work out for only 5 min to start with, or only stretch for a bit every day to start. Get the retinue anchored in place and then slowly increase the difficulty. Don’t try to do too much too soon.
- Law 4: Make it satisfying
○ What is immediately rewarded is repeated.
○ Good habits don’t feel too good short term, but feel good in the long run, so add immediate pleasure after doing a good habit.
○ Have a habit tracker
○ Lost days hurt you more than successful days help you
○ Don’t break the chain of doing a good habit.
Create a habit contract.
Thank you for putting your notes out there. I might even snatch these myself😊😈

Thank you very much
Thank you
Thank you for sharing this summary!
the chapters of this video are pretty solid

3:35 succesful and unsuccesful people share the same goals!!
4:04
4:10 goals are good for setting the direction,but systems are best for making progress
4:25 it is not because of you ,it is because you have the wrong system for change
4:45 just as atoms are the building blocks of the universe, atomic habits are the building blocks of remarkable results
5:10 the best way to change your habits is to focus on the person you want to become instead of the results that you want
5:16 the goal is to become that succesful person you should look up to

10:08 imagine it as a place filled with relationships
10:35 the mantra; one space one use

"The Goal is not to learn an instrument, it's to become a musician."
"The Goal is not to run a marathon, it's to become a runner."
Underrated words~ Thanks for helping me a better person~ You earned a sub!
"The Goal is not to run a marathon, it is to be faster than the reaper." - some guy
''Mastery'' by Robert Green :)
I think these are empty words. The musician part is for sure, if you look at it realisticaly under the current capitalist system. The relationship between all those factors like instrument types, genres, age, etc. makes it sound really stupidly oversimplified. What if a 14yo would hear this? "If I do not become a musican, it is futile to learn an instrument. If I won't make a living out of (cause that what makes someone acknowledged professional for the plebs) it is not even worth just for the sake of it?" Think about what if you"d say that to an elderly... Also running a marathon for the fun or health reasons shouldn't (and in my opinion in most case must not) lead to eager to became a runner. These are false motivations, contradicting the idea about not to chase goals but improve the system. And imho that; my friends; is more toxic than straightly getting told by boomers, that you cant make a living out of beeing musician, any artist, runner, scientist, etc...
@@angyalbandi94 We all view it differently. It's an eye opener for me because I only focused on the small things. I guess it taught me that the end goal is not just on learning an instrument but becoming a musician. If I just focus on learning an instrument then my goal is finished and I wont continue anymore since I dont have other goals. That's how I see it
I hate running though
this could be the best review of any 'self-help' book I've ever seen. Not only a great summary... but concrete examples of how you used the knowledge to develop real systems for change. Outstanding!
I can't stop watching 💯🚀

I am just like you Samantha. I feel you.
Thank you for the informative video. I always prioritize diversifying my investments and never invest my entire savings in one specific type or area.
I believe it's important to set achievable goals and have a strategy that includes limiting potential losses on a weekly basis. This approach is both logical and can provide passive yet rewarding returns.
Every investor dreams of finding a strategy with near-perfect success rates, even if not guaranteed at 100%.
In terms of the crypto space, I personally took two months to learn the importance of operating in the right manner, and it was through adapting that I was able to save myself from potential losses. I am grateful for the expertise of John Joseph in this area.
What makes John Joseph stand out from other account managers is his ability to adapt to changing situations. His managerial skills are unmatched, and his weekly signals have proven to be profitable. Many others are working with him as well, which is a pleasant surprise.
Wow, that is amazing to hear! I'm glad that John's trading strategy and services have been so effective for you. Doubling your monthly salary in just seven working days is truly impressive.

Also a powerful habit I have learned:
Plan your day at the evening of the day before before going to bed. This will not only help to be more productive the next day, but also makes you sleep better because most of the possible uncertainties are already elaborated.

mentioned in the video
and the book
Said so nicely - completely agree! 😊
My problem is getting out of bed. But having my clothes ready and having my day planned actually makes it easier for me to get up. I think a normal person would get up earlier if they don't have this stuff ready. Me, it makes me wanna hit snooze lol
That helps prevent analysis paralysis as well. You don't have to think about what choices you have, then end up doing nothing - you'll already have picked.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my TH-cam channel 2 months ago about self development and now have 74 subs and almost 55 hour watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so much lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place
How is it going right now
@@thecommunity4965 I now have 270 subs and almost 100 hrs of watch time! Thanks for asking
I realized that the main reason for doing this is not about the success but the inspiration I've been providing some people with my stories while helping others do the same as I shared the lessons & experiences through making videos to have a sense of meaningful purpose. Therefore, I’m planning to quit nursing to pursue youtube full time as there are lots of issues in our traditional health systems as these don’t align with my values. It’s a huge learning curve but I love helping people through making videos.
Also, as part of my video creation progress, I’m switching to a better editing software and a camera so the learning curve is much higher and slows down the completion speed of my next videos so please hang on tight! I do appreciate your support and kind words! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! 🙂
You've got ten times more subscibers now! Your comment is the perfect example of how change will truly occur if you put effort into it.
@@Emp31 Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say based on what you said that you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my TH-cam channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a TH-camr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this TH-cam thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)
That part about making separate zones in your house really works! I was already doing this for about a year or so. And then I saw this video and was like “Yo, I’m on the right track”.
I turned my basement into a
1.music studio zone.
2. Workout Zone with weights, pull up bar and more.
3. Study zone (prayer, studying and reading) And I constantly keep it very neat and tidy every week.
I’ve always say that showing up is half the battle. You’ll be amazed what you can achieve by just showing up. My commitment to myself was to show up at work each day (5 days per week) while I was undergoing a challenging and prolonged 5 year medical treatment for a neurological disease, even though I lacked confidence due to a decrease in ability and didn’t feel 100%. I decided that I would tell no one about my challenges, but if anyone asked me to leave because my performance was inadequate, I’d leave. I got through the treatment, recovered, and thrived. I continued to acquire work skills and experience, as well as get paid, throughout the treatment.
Thank you for this inspiring comment - from someone who suffers from neuropathic pain. I've paused my studies because of it, but I'm planing to go back and start studying today.
@@marko6168 at 33 I was told my condition was degenerative and would only get worse. I wasn’t willing to give up life as I knew it (and a chance to earn a living) and resign myself to a life on the couch receiving a disability pension.

@@cjadventures8840 Ok have at it bro
well studies show that no normal person learns in a specific way but in all ways, it is an illusion that we think we learn better in certain ways.
Can confirm that the atomic habits approach to life does indeed work. When I was younger I would always struggle with drawing. Once I learned about the 1% better every day tip and the 2 minute rule, and put those into practice, I made more progress in 6 months than I had made in 10 years. This year I added learning Japanese to my every day routine and now I practice that 7 days a week, along with my drawing practice. Oh sure, I'm not a master of either skill, but I'm definitely way further along than I would have been if I had never tried improving myself by just a little bit every single day. They've also opened more doors for me in terms of having more people to converse with about those subjects. You won't notice the results right away, but if you keep at it you will reach a breakthrough moment. It's like leveling up in an RPG.
Although I got financially wrecked this year thanks to car trouble and inflation, my overall productivity was better than the last 4 years combined. Next year I plan to stack other habits like learning more about 3D modeling/animation, and practicing how to play music. I have a lot of creative ideas I want to put out into the world and atomic habits are helping me achieve that. So yeah, in summary.... LEARN TO APPLY THIS SHIT TO YOUR LIFE BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE YOU SO MUCH HAPPIER! 😂
Good for you! I also incorporated these methods and my drawings have improved immensely over this last year. But also my enjoyment of the daily routine.
Thanks for sharing your story. I wish you the best!
congratsss, and keep on the good work McJorneil ^^
inspiring!
@Go-go 63 if u don't mind me asking, how exactly did you apply this to drawing? Do you practise 2minites a day? Or what?
@@clyreane575 I will try to answer your question. The idea behind the 2 minute rule is that it serves as a bare minimum requirement so that it's as easy as possible to get started. The easier a habit is to start, the easier it will be to continue doing in the future. In order to be good at drawing, you have to first develop the habit of drawing. Otherwise, you will get nowhere.
So by setting a goal as simple as "I will draw for at least 2 minutes," you then begin to set the building blocks for turning drawing (or any other activity) into a habit. If you set a timer on your phone for 2 minutes, you can then decide whether or not you would like to continue drawing after the timer runs out. The point is you met the minimum requirement. You defeated procrastination. You accomplished that tiny goal and it was so easy that you ought to be able to do it again the next day. And the day after that and so on.
Then eventually, 2 minutes turns into 5 minutes. 5 mins turns to 10, 15, 20, 30, an hour, etc. You're gradually leveling up your ability to consistently practice for longer and longer periods of time, and as a result you can improve much faster. Of course, it's still important to have a specific goal in mind as to what you are trying to achieve. Like becoming good at drawing hands, for example. Some days you might feel tired and unmotivated, but even something as simple as just drawing a circle will help you keep the habit alive. I can say with absolute certainty that this method works because it's exactly what I did.
I can't tell you how well this video has been made. I've read the book Atomic Habits but this video was so well summarised with personal examples especially. Thank you so much. I just shared this with my husband. I've been asking him to read the book for a long time now. But I'm sure he can spare 30 mins to watch this video. Keep up the good work ❤️
Dude this is one of the best videos ever uploaded on TH-cam. I can only wonder how much work you've put into this. Thank you so much!
For anyone trying to use their phone less, I highly recommend changing the settings to grayscale so that your phone doesn't display color. It makes the stuff on the screen look dull in comparison to real life and will make you way less tempted to scroll through photos & videos.

"The Goal is not to run a marathon, it's to become a runner."
I think this is an awesome mindset because not only does it help you stick to your habits, but it will make you comfortable with failure. Even if you don't complete that marathon, you're still a runner and it won't put you off trying again.

I appreciate the effort you have put in summarizing this book and how practical you made it to be. Absoulutely amazing video.
I can’t even explain how easy this was to follow. Every single thing was broken down exactly how I would need it to be, to comprehend it the first time. Like I’m just astonished and soooo grateful! This has opened my eyes to getting these habit things down!!
This book is sheer magic. Made me quit smoking of 5 years in 14 days. Truly truly inspiring!
Edit : I haven't gone back to the nasty habit for those who wanna know.. the idea here is to be 1% better every day and I hear about how far I have come every day and that's mindboggling.

So I already had some idea how I can train my mind using manifestations. I manifested clearer skin and good health, free from any bad habit. Went cold turkey and only went back when I craved for it badly. Started logging days when I went without smoking. Of course it was coupled with exercise and diet as well and I got completely free in 14 days. Hope it helps ❤

I haven't seen such a well-produced video summarizing a book in a long time. The illustrations are well-crafted, without exaggeration, and they greatly help clarify the concepts of the book. The editing is hypnotic, excellent video, congratulations from Brazil. 👍
I can’t thank you enough for posting this video, it changed my perspective.
So true, I especially like the part about bad days and how to not let that get in the way. I improved my life tremendously in my senior year of high school, I basically dedicated the entire time to self improvement. Went from 220 pounds to 160, got really fit, and basically just enjoyed life to the max. About a year later I got a mild injury at the gym which caused me to start breaking all these good habits and I got fat again within another year. Now I’m getting fit again and going to dedicate myself to keeping good habits, I know it’s possible since I’ve done it before, all that’s needed is to stick to it.
Are you applying the “easy “ switch in regards to eating?
Great to hear keep it up 💪
I have a similar story. I was feeling good, at a healthy weight then hurt my knee on a run, May 5th 2020. Put on 20 lbs in about 3 months.
Wow!🧠👏👍💪
That's an incredible journey you're on. Seeing that you've changed before, I believe that you'll be able to revert to your good habits again!
I have read the book twice. But this video just gave me more perspective about what author was trying to communicate. I believe it just how meticulously you have summarized this book.
Kudos my brother!! 👍👍

thanks for this structure it helped alot
Thanks, this helped me revisit the 28 mins content quickly.
10:32 if you are one of those who live in a shoebox like me where everything i do is on a desk next to the bed, going out of the room and setting the intention before going back in and sitting down on the exact same seat actually helped to shift the mindset. great video and summary! much appreciated!
I agree 10000%! I have my pc where I watch shows and game on the same desk in the same room where I study. I always go outside into the balcony or living room to take a breather and then go back in to immediately study or work without touching my pc. Also don't get up from your desk to bed to sleep, that completely ruins your rythm. Keep moving between rooms and go in a room with a sole intention and that intention only. Breaks all distractions and works like magic.
This is great advice. My work area is also a place of leisure, so breaking that up is critical for productivity.
thank you so much
Going to try this advice!
There is also trick used, that they also did study on- You can use your desk-lamp only when you are learning/studying, and after a while your brain starts to focus everytime you turn your lamp on and will know its time to study, because it will bind learning and lamp together nicely.
This was FULL of great advice about habit formation, but what stood out to me most:
"DON'T BREAK THE CHAIN - lost days hurt you more than successful days help you."
That is too true. I'll try to keep that in mind as I work out, study Spanish, practice keyboarding, etc.
tumhari maa randi 💯💞
It's great to learn your studying spanish. I'm Colombian, and I learned English to get a good job, keep it up so you can visit our beautiful country and try our traditional and delicious food. Te deseo muchos éxitos 😊
So so many things you said is EXACTLY what I'm going through! Like the friction i feel like if I'm doing something productive i have to be what i call it "the edge" is like being at the edge of a precipice almost falling! Only then I'm pushed to move/do something
The best part of the video is BY FAR: the way you put the principles of the book into practice. So inspirational! It gave me lots of ideas that I will use now. Huge thanks!
I'm 73 years old and still learning how to get myself to accomplish what I say I want accomplish. My time is running out. Don't get me wrong, I've had a great life so far and being retired is the best job I've had so far. My goal is to write some stories like the ones I read when I was a new teenager. These are stories that made me determined to become an electronics engineer. Song story short, I've had a wonderful career designing and programming hardware with commuters in them. I made good money and, most importantly, I loved it.
I love stories in books and in moving pictures. I've read over thirty five books this year so far. I thought this would make it easy for me to write similar stories. It wasn't. I think Atomic Habits and this video are going to be a great help in changing my system to something that will help me accomplish this. I have done it for my fitness. I started walking an hour and a half almost three years ago and it was easy. Somehow almost by accident, I created a habit of rising before dawn and walking about five miles five or six times per week. It was easy but I didn't know why. This video based on Atomic Habits made me realize that I deployed some of those principals accidentally. Now I'm going to apply them on purpose to my writing. NaNowRimo (National Novel Writing Month) is starting in November. The goal is to write 50,000 words in November. That's about 1613 words per day. That's a lot of words but, the real goal is to write some every day and that's what I'm going to do.
Thank you B.C. Marx, you have inspired me to create a new system that supports my writing goals.

We read news in the media that doom and gloom is coming and we just accept it, doom and gloom doesn’t always have to be coming, I’ve read numerous success stories of people that are pulling off tremendous gains of up to $250K within weeks in this crazy market and I just want to learn how to achieve such figures.
Since the crash, I've been in the red. I’m playing the long term game, so I'm not too worried but Jim Cramer mentioned there are still a lot of great opportunities, though stocks has been down a lot. I also heard news of a guy that made $250k from about $110k since the crash and I would really look to know how to go about this.
There are actually a lot of ways to make high yields in a crisis, but such trades are best done under the supervision of Financial advisor.
@Dan Brooks Impressive can you share more info?
Lot of spam bots in here.
Getting out of our own way is the greatest battle. I'm finally at a point to be honest with how much I have kept myself from succeeding at all. Fear, incompetence, actually succeeding usually the main jailers. Environment and having genuine people that want your success and not stagnant environment, people that rather see you struggle is key. I unfortunately have neither at the moment.

Thank you for sharing this with us! I love that rather than using gym closure as an excuse for not working out you still progressed in your commitment to your habit.
it's frustrated when staying at the valley of disappointment. but it's more hurtful to fall into that valley time after time. so be consistent to go ahead until we make a breakthrough.
This is an underrated comment. I wholeheartedly agree with you. The pain of starting over and over prolongs that time spent in the valley of disappointment and if we are able to create good systems to go through it one time instead of a million times then we won't be in the valley nearly as long as we would be otherwise. We'll "break through" like you said.
When people talk about "Self care," this video describes what I think that really means. Or at least, should mean. Never underestimate how powerful it is to just sit down and do a little bit of housekeeping in your brain.

When the Great Depression and other huge catastrophes occurred, I used to believe that everyone went bankrupt, but they didn't... Some made millions; also assumed that everyone closed their businesses during these times, but certain did start new ones. It all depends on your point of view, there will always be moments of prosperity for some individuals and times of depression or recession for others. My main concern now is how can we generate more revenue during quantitative times? can't afford to see my life savings of $200k crumble to dust.
I always found the idea of using spreadsheets very time consuming and unnecessary. I just dump a bunch of money into my savings accounts each month and keep my spending money in a separate account and try to spend as little as possible.

As a person that often feels trapped in their unhealthy & unproductive routines by their ADHD, I can say that the valley of disappointment is very real. This video on the other hand gave me hope!!! Thank you for working hard while making this video that inspired me to start small and better myself!
I feel you. I have this perfectionist annoying attitude. I don't know why I'm stuck on this for so long . I keep fighting it because I dont finished anything and at the end of the day I regret what I did. Spending so much time to perfect things that doesn't matter.
The part about cues being tied to rewards really resonated with me. I used to be a drug addict and when I was, I would get excited at the process of having to find a dealer, even though it’s a huge pain and stressful, I started liking it because my brain associated it with the very strong reward of getting high.
I've never thought about it that way
I read this book for the first time with my English students as part of my book club and I had pretty low expectations since I was a huge fan of self-help books. My mind was changed pretty quickly! I only have praise for this book. It seems that my students agree because it is the most popular book by far in my English book club!
I have owned the book for years. I never read it because the thought of reading it seemed overwhelming in my busy life. Thank you so much for creating an impactful summary I can chew on in small bites, and make improvements in my life.
The environment bit is spot on. I lived in a toxic envirinment for decades and kept self-sabotaging throughout, in spite of having read tons of similar books as that. Good job, and good luck on your new lifestyle!
i watched this video almost exactly 2 months ago and i cant stress enough the tsunami of changes that has altered the course of my life in the best way possible. ive never been so motivated and gotten so much work done all by these "atomic habits" in the most healthy, non-toxic way ever, im the most productive ive been in a long time
