When I looked at the title of Atomic Habits, I thought it’s about building some powerful and big shot habits. But here the word Atomic refers to atoms. Small things, even unnoticeable changes or improvements can have an astounding effect.
Atomic Habits tells many easy and do-able tips to harness good habits in your daily routine. The writer divides this process in four parts.
- Make it obvious.
- Make it attractive.
- Make it easy.
- Make it satisfying.
Each step is discussed in detail in the Atomic Habits bywith examples and charts etc. with easy steps and relatable situations. While reading, I observed some tips that have actually helped me in establishing some habits. There is a tip that before making a purchase or exceeding a certain amount of money, wait for 24 hours. I have been practising this and it has reduced my impulsive online shopping. Similarly the writer suggests when developing a new habit, do it for 2 minutes only. I started my reading habit like this. I set a 30 minute maximum time. It worked great for me.
