Atomic Habits: An Easy and Proven Way to Build Good Habits and Break Bad Ones

by James Clear

Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.

Each time you encourage your employees, you are a leader.

Instead, “disciplined” people are better at structuring their lives in a way that does not require heroic willpower and self-control. In other words, they spend less time in tempting situations.5

The people with the best self-control are typically the ones who need to use it the least.

■ If you’re continually feeling like you’re not enough, stop following social media accounts that trigger jealousy and envy.

This is the secret to self-control. Make the cues of your good habits obvious and the cues of your bad habits invisible.
