Atomic Habits by James Clear

 There are a million great ideas in this book!

I took it slowly because there is so much to digest. My biggest take-away, though, is that habits are best formed when they become a part of our identity. In other words, even if you don't work out, or only go to the gym for five minutes, and you do it every day, you begin to realize you are a person who goes to the gym. Your identity changes and pretty soon, your consistency helps you change your self-perception. There are many other great ideas here.

Here's another one. If you want to start a new habit, link it to an existing one. 

And another--you must create a system in order to succeed. In other words, create the environment for your success. Put your chairs in a conversational circle, not facing the TV if you want to spend more time talking with your family, for example. This is reminding me that I need to reread this again and get more nuggets out of here! 

This book is also richly infused with motivating and interesting vignettes of real people and examples. It's a very enjoyable read! But I need to read it more intentionally, and not in bed when I'm ready to go to sleep! It's more valuable than that...
