Atomic Habits

Key takeaways:

- 1% better or worse is significant after time, not daily. Time is a magnifier. With time, good habits will lead to exponential improvement, while bad habits will lead to a decline.
- Success is the product of daily choice, not once in a lifetime transformations.
- It's all about trajectory. A millionaire who spends more than they earn is on a bad trajectory, while someone with little money who saves money each month is on a positive trajectory.
- I really enjoyed listening to the story about the cycling team that looked for 1% improvements. They tried different massage oils until they found one that allowed muscles to repair faster so they could train more. They painted the inside of their workshop white so they would see dust/dirt that otherwise might have fallen into a chain or bearing, they tested different fabrics for their uniforms until they found one that allowed them to stay cool without sweating as much or catching the wind, etc.

Identity consider the difference between your beliefs and your actions
