Chapter 1. The Surpising Power of Atomic Habits

If we make a small change a day for one year, it would be a huge impact. A small outcome in a short term doesn’t matter. What matter is whether my habits are putting myself on the right track towarding success.

An atomic habit is a little habit that is a part of a large system. Atomic habits are the building blocks of remarkable results.

If you want better results, then forget about setting golas. Focus on your system instead.

What I learned today:

Your outcomes are a lagging measure of your habits.
