“An atomic habit is a little habit that is part of a larger system. The most powerful outcomes of any compounding process are delayed. “Small changes often appear to make no difference until you cross a critical threshold. They can work for you or against you, which is why understanding the details is essential.”
“Getting 1 percent better every day counts for a lot in the long-run.” “Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement.” “Ultimately, it is your commitment to the process that will determine your progress.” It is about the cycle of endless refinement and continuous improvement.” It’s not about any single accomplishment.

Systems are about the processes that lead to those results.” “Goals are about the results you want to achieve. “Time magnifies the margin between success and failure. Your clutter is a lagging measure of your cleaning habits. Your knowledge is a lagging measure of your learning habits. Your weight is a lagging measure of your eating habits. Your net worth is a lagging measure of your financial habits. “Your outcomes are a lagging measure of your habits. “You should be far more concerned with your current trajectory than with your current results.”
