Status Updates From Better Than Before: Masteri...

My kids pulled my bookmark out, sigh. I do want to read more of this.

This is hard to listen to

Re-listening to this one!

I’m enjoying this for the most part but you can definitely tell that she is an upholder and her partner’s a questioner. Every chapter she says this will work for upholders and questioners, might work for obligers if they tweak it, and Rebels once again you’re own your own. Only once has she given a strategy that works best for rebels, and even that was flavored with distaste and judgement.

Rubin‘s ideas are very motivating. It seems she did a lot of research beforehand and methodically arranged her ideas prior to writing. I do like that.

Picking up Gretchen Rubin‘s book again. Skimmed through the first chapter again in which Rubin proposes a concept of four character types: obligers, rebels, questioners and upholders.

Phenomenal

Habits, tendencies, personal attacks

Sometimes this book hurts with its accuracy.

Very informative! Realizing I have a lot of bad habits and tips on how to enable good ones!

There are multiple strategies that work together in forming habits. If something is convenient people are more likely to do. Make the routine of your habit convenient so that increases the likelihood that you will complete it.

Pretty good audiobook. Still would prefer to actually read.

Listening to the audiobook since the library didn’t have the e-book

I can't believe I made it through the loopholes chapter.... yet here I am

I’m starting this book over so that I can start applying the information from the book.

Help

So much good audio book time this weekend

I’ve read it before but decided I needed a refresher...

I learned so much from reading it the first time I've immediately decided to read it again.

I love Gretchen Rubin but she really needs to stop pushing her low-carb diet on people, especially people who eat plant-based!

So much food and diet talk in this book, I'm surprised she didn't just write a diet book all together

I am learning so much about habit formation

I'm 9% in and have already made five bookmarks and notes. Definitely buying a hard copy.

I’m trynna figure out how this book is only suppose to be 300 pages but the audiobook is 10 HOURS long

I’ve read so many of Gretchen’s books i feel like we’re friends

Is it bad to give up half way through a book on self control and habit change? She just instructed me not to eat carbs.

I've just finished reading A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles. Much to my surprise and delight I found a direct and thought provoking connection to it on page 122 in the form of a quote from Michel de Montaigne, Of the Education of Children: "The conduct of our lives is the true reflection of our thoughts." Strangely, now that I think about it, habits and change are at the core of each book. An unplanned pleasure!

p.114 "Habits are the behaviours that I want to follow forever, without decisions, without debate, no stopping, no finish lines."
