A relevant section from Atomic Habits for anyone building a new habit this year:
People often think it's weird to get hyped about reading one page or meditating for one minute or making one sales call. But the point is not to do one thing. The point is to master the habit of showing up. The truth is, a habit must be established before it can be improved. If you can't learn the basic skill of showing up, then you have little hope of mastering the finer details. Instead of trying to engineer a perfect habit from the start, do the easy thing on a more consistent basis. You have to standardize before you can optimize.
Hustle culture optimizes for input (work), not output (impact).
It is okay to put in long hours. It is okay to sacrifice things for your goal. But do not waste effort optimizing theatrics. Put your effort into things that actually matter, things that move you closer to what you really want.
If you do not know what you want, get that clarity first. Your goals cannot be a copy-paste of someone else's goals.
You succeed only when you put effort in the right direction, at the right time, on something you genuinely care about. If you are seeing a dead end, switch.
You cannot and should not be perpetually delusional.
It's a simple Chrome extension that I built for myself. This extension helps me in defining the selected word. Useful while reading.
