    "Atomic habits" was the book that motivated me to learn Italian (with a "ten minutes a day" rule) and also to create my TH-cam channel! This book changed the way I see goals, you just need to take it one step at a time, then you will do "tiny changes" and over time get "remarkable results", as the subtitle of the book already indicates :)

    On Identity.
    After learning Chinese for a few years, in England, a Chinese person told me I am Chinese because I have Chinese characteristics - I speak Chinese, know Chinese history and geography, and celebrate Chinese festivals. I decided that I am indeed Chinese (as well as Scottish, British, and European). Now I don’t bother with Chinese courses and curricula, I don’t bother trying to replicate my English vocabulary and skills, I just explore the Chinese that arises naturally in my Chinese life! I told one of my Chinese conversationalists about this and she decided to be English. Now, when we chat, an English person speaks Chinese really well and a Chinese person speaks English really well. It’s a blast!

    Studying flashcards daily 20 minutes for 10 years hasn't been enough for me to understand spoken Korean. I live in Korea, married to a Korean, and can basically order food and shop here. The only time I really made noticeable progress was in classes where the teacher spoke a lot and required students to speak a lot while focusing on grammar. A loquacious teacher who writes on the board is helpful.

    Thank you for sharing your insights. The book sounds valuable. I do a minimum every day: 20 minutes of reading, an hour of listening. I haven't missed a day in 7 months. Other things might be different each day. I have not encountered any sudden breakthrough, but I notice improvement all the time: there are more words I can read, more spoken sentences I understand. Maybe I'll never be fluent. It doesn't matter. I'm a language learner.

    I absolutely had this "Plateau of Latent Potential" experience with talking! After reading and reading and a lot of listening, the right circumstance came for me to speak and boom. All of a sudden I was surprisingly able to articulate my thoughts.
    As for those who's target is to "get rich" what you lack is not atomic habits. Stop admiring assholes in the first place. That should help.

    Hi Steve, great videos, I'd like to point out a topic I haven't seen covered anywhere about language learning.
    I have struggled with procrastination for years, I do creative work (architect) and the only good solution that works for me in the fight against procrastination is the so-called controlled procrastination (I invented the term for myself :))
    It consists in the fact that every time I procrastinate, I do it at least purposefully and by learning a language, currently Spanish. And I have to say that I'm making fast progress (I study for two or three hours a day) ... and therefore Spanish is becoming my first procrastinated language :) Just as a suggestion for a possible topic ... have a nice day, Pavel

    Yes! This has very much been my experience with language acquisition. It's important to develop study habits that work for us and to stick with it, learning a little bit at a time for a long time. Thomas Monson once said, "When performance is measured, performance improves. When performance is measured and reported, the rate of improvement accelerates."

    I read a little each day. I am interested in what I'm reading, so it's easy to keep doing.
    It's possible to form habits around things that are very grueling. Some people go very hard on flashcards even when they find them exhausting.
    It's better to form a habit around something enjoyable if at all possible, as even a habit you've done for months will be given up if it's not interesting. Or it will make you miserable.
    I try to limit my commitment to what I can do on my worst days. That way I don't lose habits to lost sleep or other problems. I think it's about 10 minutes to a half hour. It's nice to do more if you have a lot of energy and enthusiasm, but it's better not to push to do a lot every day if your circumstances aren't very stable.

    It’s a great book. I’d like to sit here and say I’ve applied it all, but the biggest takeaway that I have applied is consistent effort no matter how small is useful. I could stand to give it a re-read and perhaps little by little apply more of it to my process.

    I made a habit of reading graded reader books on tadoku for 1-2 hours a day. Felt like I was making no progress after two weeks, and then I looked at my download history. Basically, I went from 1-2 books at level 0 per day to around 3-5 books at level 1 per day. I'm expecting an insanely intense plateau any moment now for various boring, Japanese specific reasons, but that's fine because that's how it is when you do something that's difficult. Anyways, point is that habits are powerful because they allow you to do less hard work. The cost is spending energy into discipline, but that's a great deal because it's cheaper overall.

    Atomic habits has helped me from learning German for 10 minutes a day to 5 hours a day until I passed my C1 Test.
    I read this book every 6 months.
    Wenn immer ich gefragt wird: Was hat dir beim Deutsch Lernen am meisten geholfen? Darauf antworte ich direkt und ohne Zweifel: Atomic Habits, oder auf Deutsch 1% Methode.
    By the way, I read this book as I started learning german, and after two years I read the book in German.
    Noch ein weiterer Punkt: In der B2 Prüfung muss man etwas präsentieren, und da ich dieses Buch so interessant fand, habe ich dieses Buch präsentiert und wie es mir beim Deutsch Lernen half.
    And now I'm preparing my self for IELTS and I'm applying the same methods.
