We all want to become masters of our habits, but few of us ever get there.

Here are the tips and strategies that helped me finally stick to my habits.

As many of us set out to adopt new habits this year, I thought it would be a great time

to revisit one of my favorite books, Atomic Habits by James Clear, and additionally offer

my own insights and experiences with regards to building habits.

The underlying idea behind Atomic Habits is that small, incremental changes lead to massive

A common misconception is that massive success requires massive action.

In reality, success isn’t the result of a once-in-a-lifetime transformation, rather,

it is the product of dozens of daily habits growing and compounding over time.

The most successful investor in the world, Warren Buffet, did not grow his net worth

to over 100 billion dollars overnight, nor did he get there by throwing all of his money

into Gamestop and AMC and yelling “to the moon!”

Instead, he began investing at the age of 11 and continued to invest consistently for

He focused on good fundamentals and invested in companies that he believed would perform

well in the long term - not over weeks to months, but over years to decades.

His consistency and long-term mentality allowed him to gradually build his wealth until becoming

one of the wealthiest people in the world.

You can think of them as the compound interest of self-improvement.

Individually, minor improvements to our habits may seem insignificant, but over time they

will continue to build and compound until they become exponentially more than the sum

If you were to improve by just one percent every day for a year, you would be thirty-seven

times better than you were when you started.

On the other hand, if you were to get worse by just one percent each day for an entire

The issue is that we don’t always see the long-term value of good habits or the long-term

As humans, we suffer from time inconsistency - a reward that is certain right now is usually

worth more to us than one that is merely possible in the future.

We prioritize feeling good in the moment, even if it ends up hurting us in the long

To make things even more difficult, most habits don’t appear to make a difference until

Before this, there is often a discrepancy between what you think should happen and what

Clear refers to this as the valley of disappointment.

But what you don’t see is that once you get out of the valley of disappointment, the

So now that we know the importance of good habits, how do we actually go about building

When trying to build a new habit, most people put too much emphasis on the end goal.

The problem with this approach is that goals only change your life for the moment, and

the results you achieve are often only temporary.

In order to create lasting change, you need to shift your focus away from the outcome

and place it on the systems that will get you to your desired outcome instead.

You need to solve the problem at a systems level.

This is why winners and losers have the same goals but different outcomes.

We focus on the winners and mistakenly attribute their success to their ambitious goals when,

in reality, it’s not the goal that made them successful but rather their underlying

You either achieve your goal and are successful, or you don’t achieve your goal and are a

The problem with this is that achieving your goal doesn’t necessarily mean that your

systems were good and failing to achieve your goal doesn’t necessarily mean that your

Although it’s true that good systems typically lead to good outcomes and bad systems typically

lead to bad outcomes, this isn’t always the case.

We often look at the outcome to judge the merit of one’s approach which leads to survivorship

Take for instance you have two millionaires.

One started a business and spent thousands of hours growing it before they ever made

The other spent all of their money on lottery tickets and won the jackpot.

If we only look at outcomes, you would say that these two are equal; however, if you

look at their systems, they are clearly very different.

I don’t know about you, but I would much rather take advice on how to build wealth

from the guy who built a business than the guy who won the lottery.

This is why you should focus on building good habits that will lead to your desired results.

“The purpose of setting goals is to win the game.

The purpose of building systems is to continue playing the game.”

When you focus on building effective systems and learn to love the process, the score often

It all comes down to changing your identity.

There are three levels of behavior change: outcomes, processes, and identity.

The outcome level is concerned with changing our results.

This might include something like losing weight or getting into medical school.

The process level is concerned with habits and systems.

This might be something like implementing a new routine at the gym or going through

the Med School Insiders website to optimize your medical school applications.

Identity is the third and deepest level and is concerned with our beliefs.

If you believe you are a fit and athletic person, or that you are well suited to be

a doctor, your behaviors and results will follow.

When making a change, most people start with the end goal and work inward.

This is a mistake because you are only solving the problem temporarily.

To make a lasting change, you need to change at the systems level.

You need to start with identity and then move outward.

You do this by adopting an identity-based approach.

Decide the type of person that you want to be, and then prove to yourself that you are

For example, instead of saying, “I want to get better grades,” tell yourself that,

“I am a good student, and as a good student I will study every day and not procrastinate.”

This subtle difference can completely change your mindset, and the more you repeat that

behavior, the more you reinforce the identity that is tied to that behavior.
