Atomic Habits
Power of Atomic Habits
An atomic habit refers to a tiny change, a marginal gain, a 1% improvement. These are parts of a larger system. We think massive success requires massive action. It actually requires small continuous changes that compound over time.
Outcomes are a lagging measure of your habits. Time magnifies the margin between success and failure. It will multiply whatever you feed it.

Forget about goals, focus on systems instead. Results have little to do with goals but a lot more to do with systems. Goals are about the results you want to achieve, systems are the processes that lead to the goals.
Problems with goals
Winners and losers have the same goal. The system they followed makes the difference. Merely setting a goal to win does not help, the systems that are put in place are important.
Achieving a goal is only a momentary change. For e.g. if cleaning a room is a goal, once it is cleaned, it will relapse to a cluttered state unless you change your habits to keep your room clean. When you solve problems at results level, you solve them temporarily. In order to improve for good, you need to solve them at the systems level. Fix the inputs, outputs will fix themselves.
Goals restrict your happiness. If you think you will be happy when you reach your goal, you are postponing your happiness. They create an "either or" mentality where you box yourself to a narrow set of goals and assume you will be happy if you reach them. Actual path in life rarely matches the journey you had in your mind when you set out. Fall in love with the process and not the final product,
Goals are at odd with long term process. if goal is to run a race, train for race and stop running after that. No motivation. Purpose of goals is to win a game, purpose of systems is to continue playing the game. True long-term thinking is not about any single accomplishment but about the cycle of endless refinement and continuous improvement.
A System of Atomic Habits: Focus on the overall system and not an individual goal. Look for a regular practice or routine that is small and easy to do. You do not rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your system.
