Atomic Habits

I always like to start out the year with a book that I hope can help me make this year better than the last. Even if it's only 1% better. This year that lead-off book is James Clear's Atomic Habits and I have to say this one is fantastic.

You may notice I'm no stranger to the productivity book genre. Often those books have a lot of tidbits in common and while it's not always ground-breaking material, there's usually some redeeming value in the different authors' takes on productivity tips. This book, however, has a lot more practical useful advice than most. Quite a bit of it was new to me, or at least didn't feel like a re-tread. I listened on audiobook, but I have it in hardcover as well, so this is going to be one I pull back out before long, because there is actual implementation advice here that I need to delve into a little deeper.

The concept of 1% better. Habit stacking. Minimizing your new habits. Setting yourself up for success in 4 or 5 different ways. These concepts are gold.

Atomic Habits is worthy.
