Cristian’s Reviews > Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones > Status Update

I am now sharing this book with others constantly. It is a great pleasure to learn, read and share.

There are a lot of decisive moments in our day which lead us down a productive or unproductive path; aim to become more aware of these moments. Two minute rule; start a new habit but stop after two minutes. Aim to do this daily, and eventually we will want to continue longer. Standardize before you optimize; don’t try to improve a habit until you’ve made it regular.

Make it more attractive. The greater the attractiveness the higher the opportunity a habit will become habit forming. One can also use temptation building to help increase habits we need to do. Essentially, we are pairing something we need with something we want. For example, after I wake up and using the restroom (current habit), I will brush my teeth and floss(need). After flossing, I will read my book (want).

Three exercises to practice. Make a list of all the daily habits you have now without judgement or criticism, and after make bother column with all the things that happen to you each day without fail.
Intention implementation:
I will [new habit] at [time] in [location]z
Or you can also try habit stacking
I will [new habit], after i [current habit].
After I wake up and I use the restroom, I will read atomic habits.
