Conclusion

Conclusion

  • The holy grail of habit change is not a single 1 percent improvement, but a thousand of them. It’s a bunch of atomic habits stacking up, each one a fundamental unit of the overall system.
  •  One positive change like meditating for one minute or reading one page each day is unlikely to deliver a noticeable difference.
  • Success is not a goal to reach or a finish line to cross. It is a system to improve, an endless process to refine.
