Last week, I made mention that ‘millimeter’ was my word of the year. I talked about being on the right path and this week, I see James Clear (Author of the best-selling book, Atomic Habits) is apparently thinking about the same thing.
- "It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or an expert as long as you’re on the path.
- If a beginner is on the path, all they need is time.
- If an expert is off the path, they won’t be an expert for long." (From James Clear, Thursday 3-2-1 Newsletter, January 6, 2022)
“People think that when you want to change your life, you need to think big. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions: doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call. He calls them atomic habits.” (Book review of “Atomic Habits”, Amazon.com)
“In this ground-breaking book, Clear reveals exactly how these minuscule changes can grow into such life-altering outcomes. He uncovers a handful of simple life hacks (the forgotten art of Habit Stacking, the unexpected power of the Two Minute Rule, or the trick to entering the Goldilocks Zone), and delves into cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience to explain why they matter. Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of tiny habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy. These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life.” Review by the New York Times.
One might think that I’m psychic!
