Many successful people have ambitious goals but in fact how many people have the same goals and are not successful? What distinguishes them is the system. In a way, I guess I always believed this, otherwise how else would I operate the charity in Mozambique? But at the heart of it, there is a long-term goal that provides the North so people can adjust their systems to ‘perfection’. His example of the changes in the British cycling team (which I obviously was not familiar with) really goes to show how the pursuit of 1% incremental gains is worth it. But the system allows you to break goals in incremental steps, which lead to long-term success. Would you still get to results with systems and no goals? I would not necessarily agree as goals motivate you to stick to the systems. “It is not about the goals but about the systems – the process that leads to the results you want to achieve”

The author makes the first controversial claim that would put many self-help books back on a shelf. My first moment nodding and smiling in agreement, walking out of the tube, came right by Chapter 1. It’s all about the systemsĪs I pulled through tears listening through the author’s sad story (unexpectedly), I wondered what was it that James did that allowed him to dig himself out of such a traumatic event and be where he is today. I could tell from the first moment that I was going to like Atomic Habits. It is now up to me to incorporate this habit in my life. Until I found Audible, and more recently, Atomic Habits by James Clear. I was getting frustrated that I could no longer keep a habit that I valued so much.

But as I grew increasingly tired, I really struggled to focus my eyes on moving letters. I was an early adopter of Kindle, and have no problems using it vs paper, especially given the amount of paper and space it saves. Nothing like setting a target to make you find a way to achieve it! At first, I was really not convinced audio books would work for me. Thanks to Audible, I am finally back to my ‘reading’ habit and on my target of 1 book per month.
