we're often told that we need to think big,

but what if we could achieve major transformations

just through small tweaks to our daily routines?

We all tend to overestimate the importance of single actions

and underestimate the power of making small improvements

repetitively over a longer period of time.

Real change comes from the compound effects

of hundreds of small decisions or small habits that,

over time, accumulate to produce remarkable results.

Changing the lifestyles, behaviours, and identities.

a new series where I summarise the key insights and ideas

and today we're talking about Atomic Habits by James Clear,

of building good habits and breaking bad ones.

Through examples from sports, business, and education,

along with evidence from psychology and neuroscience,

the book explains the science and practical implications

There's basically four key insights from this book

Thirdly, why it's all about identities rather than outcomes

and finally we'll look at what our boy, James, calls

the four fundamental laws of behaviour change.

Well, it's all about the power of compounding.

if we leave it to develop over period of time.

If we can get one percent better each day for a year,

we'll end up 37 times better by the time we're done

but if we get one percent worse each day for one year,

As James says in his book, "habits are the compound interest

Habits don't seem to make much difference on a given day

We don't often think about these small changes

just because it takes so long to see the result,

this is something that I really struggle with

and I think this probably applies to everyone.

that it's actually really hard to focus on things

and when we repeat these one percent errors day after day,

As James says in the book, "time magnifies the margin

One of the other key points from our boy, James',

Habits often don't seem to make a difference

but the key aspect of any key compounding process

This leads to an initial value of disappointment,

where we don't feel like we're making progress

as the results don't follow the linear trajectory

because we're not getting the results we wanted.

to allow the compound interest of self-improvement

to take hold and give us amazing results over time.

is to screw goals and focus on systems instead.

James identifies four main problems with goal setting.

Firstly, winners and losers have the same goals.

Secondly, achieving a goal is only a momentary change.

Sure, I might be able to pluck up the activation energy

but if I continue my waste mad habits and systems

that led to the room getting messy in the first place,
