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

Would've read more, but proper tired me, fasted, went to get photos developed, and been busy writing. Will finish tomorrow. Current opinion. Still 10/10, even though this app only lets you rate up to 5? Bit queer like.

(It's pride month I can say it, its old english for odd, I'm proud that understand some old English).

Didn't read a great deal because I'm knackered, but I read nonetheless. Went to the library and finished another script (changing your environment will change your likelihood of creating a new habit). Finished another draft of a video and watched Full Metal Jacket, and instead of just watching it to pass time, was picking up/taking shot ideas. Don't think today would have gone this way if this book remained unread.

Only read 11 pages this evening. But, small habits that compound over time. It was automatic. As soon as I crawled into bed, I picked it up.

I've learned that although there are bad habits and good habits, some habits that seem bad, like procrastinating, can be manipulated to being a good habit. Gonna watch a movie now which might be seen as procrastinating, but I'm going to pay attention to the cinematography.

"Many habits occur at decisive moments - choices that are like a fork in the road - and either send you in the direction of a productive day, or an unproductive one"

Didn't read all weekend, so I read a few pages before I go kippo, was quite a busy weekend (productive, somewhat this book helped highlight this).

Didn't read all weekend, had a busy and quite a productive weekend (through, I guess, the help of this book).

"The goal is not to read a book. It is to become a reader."

Surround yourself with like-minded people who equally want to improve themselves (in whatever aspect in their life, doesn'thave to be the same as you), surround yourself with people who are better than you, and have something in common with you. Imitate winners, not gimp losers.

"Most days, we'd rather be wrong with the right crowd than be right by ourselves"

Choose your tribe.
