Building lasting habits isn’t about sudden, massive changes — it’s about small, consistent actions repeated every day. Here are some key points from 𝗔𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗛𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘀 by James Clear, along with simple examples to help you apply them:

𝟭. 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗛𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘀:

Keep a simple log or calendar. For example, mark an “X” every day you meditate. Visual progress motivates you to keep going.

𝟮. 𝗡𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝗧𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗲:

Missing a day is okay, but don’t let it turn into two days. If you skip your workout once, commit to doing it the very next day.

𝟯. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹:

Begin with tiny actions, like reading one page or doing 2 minutes of exercise. This makes habits easy to start and maintain.

𝟰. 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝘂𝗲𝘀:

Place reminders in your environment. Lay out your workout clothes the night before to cue morning exercise.

𝟱. 𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳:

Finish your habit with a small reward — like enjoying a cup of coffee after completing a task — to reinforce the behaviour.

𝟲. 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀:

Focus on becoming “the type of person who writes daily,” rather than just finishing a book.

Small changes add up to big results over time — consistency beats intensity!
