Every action you take is like a vote for the person you want to become. Holy sh*t that's profound. I really needed that, thanks.

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the amazing art for each video and how well it's matched up with the dialogue.

Atomic Habits had a tremendous impact on my life. I picked up the book randomly when I was going through a hard point in my life and became hooked. I started implementing small habits into my daily routine. Now about a year, my life transformed for the better. Here are the daily habits I established: 1. Morning routine: consists of hygiene, reading, exercise, vitamins, and a healthy breakfast. 2. After work routine: Shower, 15 min power nap, Journaling. 3. Other Habit: Post consistent YT shorts 3 times a week, and still learning what else I should add. Takeaways: 1. Start small and work your way up. 2. Turn OFF your phone. Get that thing away from you!!! 3. Keep going even if you missed a day. Eventually, it will become part of you.

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard” Wise words…

This is so true. I've gone through a huge change from when I was 18 to now being 28. The biggest thing I've learned is that progress is like a tree, you can plant the seed but you can't make it a tree over night. Any progress in life takes time and where we fail is not that we don't see progress right away but that we EXPECT results right away. The biggest thing I wished I learned when I was younger would be that if you want something, start working on it now and understand that thing will come later.

Okay, seriously, the high quality information and artwork, the easy to digest transposition of effort, and the power of disseminating of these types of messages is so epic it's hard to believe this is free to us.

Sometimes the biggest changes come from the smallest shifts. I love this video!

One of the most practical and relatable book I have ever read because I was ultra procrastinator now after reading this book my life become better

Couple things I have found helpful. When it comes time do my weight lifting, an important part of the habit is simply changing into my sneakers and shorts. The second thing is while I am putting on my sneakers and shorts, I tell myself in my head a couple of times (or hell, even out loud), "I'm not committing to a workout, but I'll do a set." I even kind of say in a way that is kind of casual (kind of like if you were at a restaurant "yeah, sure I'll try the daily soup.") (I realize on a conscious level, that in reality I am going to do a workout, but for some reason, I just tell myself it's a set, and it is really, really effective to get the ball rolling. Then I just do another set, and another set, and pretty soon, I am half way through the workout. Tip 3: Sometimes if I really am not feeling it, I will do my first set in my regular clothes, and then change out to sneakers and shorts while my resting muscles from first set. Also, make sure you don't make it an overly time consuming or big workout. I do a quick 25-30 minute weight lifting routine. Typically just do three different weight lift sets, chest, back, biceps, and do situps while resting muscles in between sets. On other days you can do different muscle groups, i.e. legs. I think it's more important to be consistent than to do big workouts, and small workouts require less willpower. Make it easier to do.

I feel guilty watching this channel for free. You do so much good After Skool. I wish all the best to your team. Thank you for these wisdom nuggets.

Habit-Stacking is our household word. Huge thanks to you, James Clear. We get better in everything 1% a day. After 3 years, we marvel at accomplishments without loosing momentum for the next.

this reminds me of the compound effect where stall things done presistently add up to large things.

I like the motto "Tiny changes, remarkable results", plenty of meaning in those words. After reading 'Atomic Habits' I have a better understanding of how to create systems for long term habits to stick.

My best mate recommended this book to me this afternoon to help me out of a mini breakdown. Synchronicities me thinks. 🙏

“Goals are good for setting a direction, but systems are best for making progress.” I like this quote. This book goes great with the mindfulness workbook called 30 Days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels.

Small habit changes make a huge difference. Wake up early. Even on days off. Lift heavy things. Get out in the sun. Make your family a priority daily. Eat real food. I made these changes. Amazing the difference. The hard part is staying disciplined and consistent. Make the change now. Don’t wait.

thank you - good stuff. One thing that I would like to add - some people find it very difficult to start a new (healthy) habit, sometimes this is because of some past trauma or current psychological issue. Some people would benefit from going for counselling to break through that trauma/issue, as a first step. Counselling also helps break out of the idea that I am a victim of my circumstances mindset.

Thank you so much for the video and ilustrations, as a person with a problem with focus, I really value your work.

I just need to say thank you for how elaborate and intentional you craft these videos out to be! As corny as it may sound, I feel so inspired to change my life; Seriously.

It's so true. It's hard to control luck, but you can control your process to be more efficient. I wish realize this sooner. Thank you.

Procrastinating to watch this; I’ve failed the last point already, but I’m now going to start my day of 2 minute actions. It’s the only way I get things done, but I’m still getting a lot more done than I was before.

"We feel Good about our Bad habits Immediately, but very Bad about them in the long run." "We feel Bad about our Good habits immediately, but very Good about them in the long run."

In love with this video. It has just asnwered my question about good and bad habits, the way bad habits are way much easier to stick. Thanks a Million.

You owe it to yourself to do the best that you can. That looks different for everyone

Phenomenal work as always. I’ve read Atomic Habits each year for the past three years and it’s one of the books I recommend the most. Thank you for the collaboration here and the beautiful illustrations. I was temted to mention a typo but thought better of it 😊

Consistent changes lead to remarkable results. I really liked reading that book.

I've noticed the same about the idea that if we can just get ourself there or started then the rest is easy. Like I procrastinate a lot when I need to go for a walk...once I get out the door I really enjoy the walk but for some reason it's a battle to get up and get shoes on and get out the door....it's not the walk that I don't like, it's the initial moments of getting up and accepting that I'm going for a walk that seems to be the problem. Strange how that works

Alot of people give up their dreams while there are in the valley of disappointment. What a book. I read three times

It's all habits, train your mind!

focus on what you can control. optimize your environment. eg remove social media. 2 min rule: downscale. master the entry point. habits are the entry point not the end [oint. master the entry points.

Thanks for awaring this moment.

JUST saw this video on my feed & I almost yelled with excitement!!! I have the book, but can’t seem to finish it😋 SO excited to watch this!!!!!

Keeping it seriously simple aka KISS is one of my best habits. I am 65 years, seven months and two days. Smiles

I was not doing well after a breakup so I decided I wanted to better myself, I went to the library because I decided I wanted to read for the first time in years. I picked up atomic habits and boy am I glad I did

I'm part way through reading this book. I must say that the illustrations in this article help drive the point home.

I remember learning about the entry points. I enjoy creating art, And if the is a spell of time iam unmotivated to create art I rememberhow the brain operates. So i take a brush loaded with paint & make 1 mark or stroke, daily, Until my memory is motivated to paint- more. Thanks for the content

Awesome video. My advice for anyone wishing to change their lives and develop atomic habits is to develop a strong morning routine...that sets the template for your whole day! I start my day with breathwork and meditation. In meditation I become so present I lose self-identity and blend with God, Spirit or Source. I do heart-brain coherence which is an amazing simple practice to unlock dormant human potential and vibrate at the frequency of what I desire in my life so that it may manifest....this is how I healed lifelong disease doctors said was "incurable"...I also do cold therapy, Yoga and other things but if you take my advice and adopt a strong morning routine that is compatible with your goals and belief system you will be well on your way of tweaking your habits to produce outrageous success!!!

6:10 "Once begun, half done." --Aristotle

this is the greatest youtube channel ever

3:00 Immediate v ultimate rewards - spot on! It’s like my mom’s philosophy of parenting: Take the east road now (placate that begging kid) for a really long hard road later or do the difficult thing now in the short term for a really long easy time later.

One incorrect piece of info was when mentioned the immediate affect of working out. The immediate effects of working out are feelings of bliss, confidence, strength clear sharp mind.. Then long term incredible increase in benefits in and for every last aspect of every part of ones life are more happiness more intelligence and more ability to do and choose only progress and unlimited growth in any direction .. its a superior existence the lucky humans whom practice are blessed to be experiencing ..

One habit I've had throughout my whole life and this is just referring to weight, is getting up early. Whether I'm fat or whether I'm in shape and more than not I'm in shape and I have been in shape for roughly 85% of my entire adult life is because I've developed the habit of getting up early. If you get up early enough you will be healthier you will find time to go to the gym, run, walk or whatever else but waking up early is by far the best habit a person can have.

This book had the biggest impact on my life any book has

Going to become an awesome version of myself after this

If I'm feeling unmotivated, i just give it 15 minutes. That's plenty of time to get started and get a lot done. And everybody has 15 minutes. Often that momentum will carry me into an hour or half a day of work. The hard part is getting started.

I LOVE AFTER SKOOL !

Love these summaries :)

I love you James Clear.

Love this book and this summary of it!

Absolutely amazing content as usual! Definitely gonna read this book now.

Was just debating on picking this book up for the past week. What good timing

this is for sure one of the best videos / speeches i've heard in a while. well done!

When you put it like that I agree.

Thank you for all of your wonderful informative videos !!! ✌️♥️

My life has changed in a way i can't explain, and all because of a tiny habit. And my day is constructed around this one little thing. I am currently using a beard growing solution wich i have to apply twice a day. So before the first application i already walked in the sun, ate breakfast and took a shower. And by the night before i apply the solution i already trained and worked. I was literally a fat frustrated guy, and now i am changing more and more everyday. Feeling great and filled with purpose. My advice for you: just start right now!

Manly P Hall said you don’t have to be a great guru or mystic, but what you must do each day is aim for modest gains.

Incredible book. Have yet to incorporate it in my life lol

Thank you for your educational tutorial and the great cartoons. ❤

Love these shows 😊

I´ve been a RU-vid user since 2006 After Skool is the best channel of all times Perfect Videos

Such a well made video! I love the cartoons doodles because they really helped me to understand what you meant as a visual learner. Keep it up!

You have a gift for turning ordinary moments into extraordinary celebrations. Keep shining! ✨

My take away : So the outcomes that you have today in your life are a result of the habits you have. Habits are the small entry points to a larger routine. They are the first decisive moments that if you take lead you down doing activity that will lead to the positive outcome. So we need to build a string of these decisive moments through habit stacking. Make it more easier to do these gateway habits by shaping your environment and by tracking the progress through a habit score card and bring the future reward for repeating the action consistently without breaking the chain. By doing this you will consistently repeat the behavior and it casts a vote for the type of person you want to change into a become. Then you will start to identify and become the new person. To further improve you repeat this process again and it’s a constant micro evolution. So its always centered around doing the smallest version on the larger route that you cant skip. In most cases consistently doing something will produce massive results even though not perfect every day rather than spurts of massive action based on motivation.

Amazing video! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I've just finished reading the book. It's an incredible read. This summary video is such a nice bite size takeaway of the key points in the book. Highly recommend the book to anyone that got something out of this video.

"You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose......but you can't pick your friend's nose"--- Ghandi

Fantastic video and animation. Thank you!

Truely a masterpiece, beautifully illustrated and narrated ❤☀✌🏻

Such a great video Thank you

As always you deliver a great piece of artwork with a great piece of theory. Thank you for all in which you do.

Absolutely love your drawing style

You deserve 2.86 million subscribers.Your site is head and shoulders above similar sites.

I really want to cut my screen time down to 30 minutes a day. This has given me some great motivation and some ideas.

Great video! The power of habit!

That was an amazing talk! It articulated so many truisms Ive seen and experienced in my own life. I always say make changes you can keep for the rest of your life, or talk about momentum, and the importance of behaviors over words. This is great stuff!

Discipline. Consistency. Deadlines. Creativity. Reflection. Repeat. 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨

Take Action on Your life. Know Thyself.💯

Thank you

Your videos are really good, I learn a lot and i only started water recently

Twyla Tharp is so amazing that James Clear refers to her habit of daily workouts while being in her 50s or 60s. In fact, she's 81.

This advice is so true. All you have to do to follow through a habit is to take the first step. Just don't make the whole routine too difficult. You naturally start to ramp it up, as long as you actually engage in the habit. In the video, there was this analogy of drawing the future consequence of bad habits into the present, as well as drawing the future reward of good habits into the present to offset its cost. But the latter doesn't *have* to be in terms of cost. Good habits can be enjoyable. For example, for fitness, find something you like doing and don't ramp it up so much that you dread doing it. If you find yourself in that territory, scale back. Why pervert a good habit from joy to dread?

The book Atomic Habits is worth reading - especially the introduction and the author's story as to how he came up with the idea. This subject of habits and addictive behaviour has been discussed over the years but there is no paradigmatic consensus as to how it should be framed - Atomic Habits provides the framework and Clear was not a behavioural psychologist or a PhD prof. with an axe to grind or a rapier wit that needed public honing.

You become whatever you think about all day long.--Wayne Dyer

This is gold!

This is wonderful! I have the print version, the audio book and now this. This is distilled, concentrated. . Also, Tharp will be thrilled that you guessed her to much younger than she is.

Well put thanks 👍

Wanna keep it in watch later to keep watching it always.

Thanks for the videos! They are really helpful, especially in these times.

I realized this 1 year ago and I’m in the best shape of my life know. I’ve know put it into other areas of my life I want to improve

My new habit started two weeks ago: Go for a walk around the yard every morning while I drink my morning coffee, even if it's cold out. It gets sunlight in my eyes (sets sleep clock), gets my legs moving, the coffee keeps me warm, and it ties a reward (coffee) to a new habit (getting outside). I'm already at the stage where I crave my morning walk because I associate it with the reward!

I read Atomic Habits last year and I'm currently reading it again

thank you again, After Skool and James Clear for another amazing video

Like the idea about addressing "priority n goals" (mismatched)

Excellent. Thank you.

I like this guy

Great review, thanks a lot!

In Fight Club, Tyler said that self-improvement was masturbation whilst praising self-destruction. This makes more sense now, as the real method for improving is by destroying the bad habits--to destroy the votes toward the destructive behavior. Self-improvement can feel like a short-term pleasure. If you do one pushup then it's a good vote, but if you don't destroy the bad habits then you get nowhere. I may be reading into it too much. Fight Club's a great movie though

I like James clear.

Thank you for the great information. I deeply appreciate it.
