"I had to divide the astronomy from the astrology."

My favourite idea so far is scheduling time for worrying say 15minutes a day worrying about how my phd is not going any where!! it's ridiculous but it worked for me! give it a try!

Not so sure on this one, I think I may have been expecting more of a step by step guide, which is how traditional Gretchen books have been. I'll reserve judgment until the end. I have always been a huge Gretchen Rubin fan.

Obliger married to Rebel. Sometimes I am a questioner but I think my main tendency is to oblige. This is fascinating. Was laughing as I was reading. Makes me understand my Rebel Aaron more too.

Man merkt, dass sie sich wirklich Gedanken zum Thema gemacht und Situationen analysiert hat. Sie stellt sich auch nicht als DIE Expertin hin, sondern berichtet locker von ihren Alltagserfahrungen. Bringt mich in mehrfacher Hinsicht zum Nachdenken

A little bit of a slower read than I would have thought. Not the most riveting or well paced book.

Some good advice so far :)

So far I'm learning and reflecting on how to live my best life, but there is only so much reading about habit formation that I can do in one day.

Fluency Heuristic: an idea seems more valuable if it's easier to say or think. Haste makes waste>Haste fosters error

I love her!

Really enjoying this so far!

"If we want something to count on our lives, we should figure out how to count it."

This is starting off better than I expected. She clearly has put a lot of thought and effort into this work.

I really do prefer non-fiction.

interesting how you "see yourself" as you're reading!

Such an eye-opening read! Trying to figure out which tendency I am... obliger, maybe?

So far so good. I like her idea about the different habit types

wondering if I can finish it before Thursday when she comes to speak at Google...

Very excited to receive this today!!! Love Gretchen's writing.

Gut lesbare Mischung aus Fakten und Erfahrungen, gefällt bisher!

Finding out that I have the worst disposition for habits ever... Obliger and Procrastinator... great.

There is no finish line.

So many great tips! I am taking notes...

Oh, boy. My head is already buzzing with ways to improve. I have learned I have the tendencies of an upholder and Jim a questioner. (A great combination) I am really looking forward to diving further into this book. I think coming up on a big move makes me see and feel the importance of making the right habits so I don't have to make so many decisions but allow the habits to make my days flow.

Enjoying this so far.

Reading the chapter on treats and it's like.. Wait.. That's exactly what I do! The diet vs regular comment kind of killed her point for me though..

Loopholes, Distractions, Rewards

Getting back to this. Pretty interesting so far.

Monitoring to help realize where we are at.
