When we start something, we expect linear progress, but it's always a gradual unnoticeable small change.  James Clear calls the chase before the 'Breakthrough' as the "Valley of Disappointment", after which the compounding outcomes are seen. This needs Patience.

The Truth About Progress

"Forget about Goals, Focus on Systems instead" Goal - Result of what you want to accomplishSystem - Processes that lead to results Set SMART goals, but you could also succeed with just focusing on Systems.

Goals vs Systems

Atomic habits are small routines and behaviors that accumulate to produce incremental positive outcomes over time. Big breakthroughs get more attention that small improvements, but what matters are the daily decisions and actions we take.

System of Atomic Habits

Massive success is possible only through massive action, that's not true. It's the tiny improvements (hard to notice), that create incredible change. The Math?1% better every day for a year will compound to nearly 38 times better.1% worse every day for over a  year will bring you close to zero! Your habits can compound against you - stress or negative self-talk. Or compound for you - knowledge, productivity, skills and relationships.

Massive Action vs 1% Improvement

What if you have only Goals, and no Systems?<ol><li>Win/Lose - Successful and unsuccessful people share the same goals.</li><li>Momentary Change - Achieving a goal changes your life only for a moment.</li><li>Either/ Or Conflict - Either you can achieve the goal and succeed, or you don't and are a failure. </li><li>Goal vs Long Term Progress - What do you do after achieving the goal, your motivation mostly ends right after it's achieved. And you'll slip back to your old routines. </li></ol>

Problem With Goals

Just as atoms are the building blocks of molecules, atomic habits are the building blocks of remarkable results.

Understanding the 0.1% efforts could be so much more in the long run, learn how through Atomic Habits.

Atomic Habits can help you improve every day, no matter what your goals are. As one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, James Clear reveals practical strategies that will help you form good habits, break bad ones, and master tiny behaviors that lead to big changes. If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. Instead, the issue is with your system. There is a reason bad habits repeat themselves over and over again, it's not that you are not willing to change, but that you have the wrong system for changing. “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems” - James Clear I’m a huge fan of this book, and as soon as I read it I knew it was going to make a big difference in my life, so I couldn’t wait to make a video on this book and share my ideas.

I like to bring great books and ideas to life in a visual way.  I love reading and listening to books, so I want to share with others books and Authors I recommend.

My mission for this channel is to get people (especially younger folk)  enthusiastic about picking up books more often and  mindlessly scrolling through TikTok, IG etc. less often. 

FAQ
What do you use to make the videos?

I use everything Adobe, but the main programs I use are
-Illustrator
-After Effects
-Audition
-Premier Pro
-Photoshop (but not often) 

Why are you so slow with your content?

Everything you see in the video was put together by myself, and they take a longggg time, from reading the book, doing voiceovers, making illustrations, editing etc. I currently have a FT job, but I hope in the future I can go PT and create content more often :)
