"On any given day, you may struggle with your habits because you're too busy or too tired or too overwhelmed or hundreds of other reasons. Over the long run, the real reason you fail to stick with habits is that your self-image gets in the way. This is why you can’t get too attached to one version of your identity. Progress requires unlearning. Becoming the best version of yourself requires you to continuously edit your beliefs, and to upgrade and expand your identity."
— James Clear, Atomic Habits
"How can we design a world where it’s easy to do what’s right? Redesign your life so the actions that matter most are also the actions that are easiest to do."
— James Clear, Atomic Habits

"Be ruthless about what you ignore. Time, energy, and resources are so precious. You have to be ferocious about cutting your priorities—more than you realize and certainly more than is comfortable. You can only deeply commit to a few things. One or two? Maybe three? Every pretty good, sorta nice, kinda fun thing you abandon is like shedding a weighted vest that lets you move at top speed. You were so busy focusing on how much you could carry, you never realized you could run this fast."
— James Clear
"Finish something. Anything. Stop researching, planning, and preparing to do the work and just do the work. It doesn’t matter how good or how bad it is. Stop debating what you should make and just make something."
- James Clear
"All big things come from small beginnings. The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision. But as that decision is repeated, a habit sprouts and grows stronger. Roots entrench themselves and branches grow. The task of breaking a bad habit is like uprooting a powerful oak within us. And the task of building a good habit is like cultivating a delicate flower one day at a time."
- James Clear, Atomic Habits
"At some point, success in nearly every field requires you to ignore an immediate reward in favor of a delayed reward."
- James Clear, Atomic Habits
"Clarity is freedom. Know what is important to you and it will grant you the freedom to ignore everything else."
- James Clear
"Being specific about what you want and how you will achieve it helps you say no to things that derail progress, distract your attention, and pull you off course."
- James Clear, Atomic Habits
"An evening routine is an opportunity to reflect on our accomplishments, acknowledge our challenges, and set intentions for the next day, cultivating a sense of purpose and direction."
- James Clear, Atomic Habits
"Be ruthless about what you ignore. Time, energy, and resources are so precious. Every pretty good, sorta nice, kinda fun thing you abandon is like shedding a weighted vest that lets you move at top speed."
- James Clear
"All big things come from small beginnings. The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision."
- James Clear, Atomic Habits
"You don't need to worry about progressing slowly. You need to worry about climbing the wrong mountain."
- James Clear
“You will get better at whatever you practice. But before you can develop the skill to succeed, you must find the courage to attempt.”
- James Clear
"New goals don't deliver new results. New lifestyles do. And a lifestyle is a process, not an outcome. For this reason, all of your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results."
- James Clear
"Decide the type of person you want to be. Prove it to yourself with small wins."
