“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.” ― James Clear, Atomic Habits

Habit formation is the process by which behaviors become automatic. If you’re having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn’t you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves not because you don’t want to change but because you have the wrong system for change. This is one of the core philosophies of Atomic Habits: You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.Changes that seem small and unimportant at first will compound into remarkable results if you’re willing to stick with them for years.

Repetition > Perfection

If you want to master a habit, the key is to start with repetition, not perfection. You don’t need to map out every feature of a new habit. You just need to practice it. Each time you repeat an action, you are activating a particular neural circuit associated with that habit. This means that simply putting in your reps is one of the most critical steps you can take to encoding a new habit.
