Dramatic change doesn't happen overnight. James Clear's Atomic Habits explains how small daily actions build discipline and turn conscious effort into automatic behavior, eventually making the habit feel effortless and part of who you are.
The number 1 best-selling book in 2021 was Atomic Habits by James Clear, which I was so impressed by. Such a good book, I really love it. He's like the guru on habits, and he explains how you build habits and why they're so important. And it's something I'm always trying to teach, because if you try to change who you are overnight, it just can't work. How many people said they're going to go to the gym in January and get fit, and they're going to go 4 days a week or 5 days a week? It's impossible. You can't go from 0 to 100. You don't wake up and run a marathon. You have to train, you have to practice, you have to like build it in you. And that's also building discipline. Once you put in the good habits and you get used to doing them every day, you don't even notice that you're doing it anymore. It just becomes part of you, and that's how you keep improving. And then it's sustainable, and then you can keep going to the next level. Now I've gotten a hold of this, I'm now good at this, how do I get to the next level where it just becomes easy? Like the opposite of the Kruger effect, where you learn something until it becomes unconscious. You're just doing it all the time.
