Too much attention to wealth, not enough attention to lifestyle.
This is a fun format from @EricJorgenson, let’s keep going...

👇👇👇
Too much attention to goals, not enough attention to systems.
Too much attention to consuming, not enough attention to creating.
Too much attention to the strangers on the internet, not enough attention to neighbors on your street.
Too much attention to money, not enough attention to time.
Too much attention to answers, not enough attention to questions.
Too much attention to carbs, not enough attention to protein.
Too much attention to bench press, not enough attention to squats.
Too much attention to investors, not enough attention to customers.
Too much attention to cars, not enough attention to people.
Too much attention to bestseller lists, not enough attention to copies sold.
Too much attention to Twitter followers, not enough attention to email subscribers.
Too much attention to games, not enough attention to practices.
Too much attention to hustle, not enough attention to strategy.
Too much attention to this format, not enough attention to any other way to write a sentence.

Thoughts on "going viral".

A short thread...
Things that go viral, spread fast. And things that move fast tend to be lightweight.

In the case of information, this means virality prefers fewer bits of information to transfer from one person to another. Virality leans toward the bite-sized and immediately understandable.
Many people (and businesses) desire the reach and popularity that comes with virality, but the downside of prioritizing retweets, likes, and views is that it pushes you toward insights that can be explained in a viral-friendly size.

The Ultimate Optical Illusions thread

I've been collecting different optical illusions for over a year. Here are some of my favorites. (I've tried to credit the creator and/or sharer whenever possible.)
Let's start with some moving pictures.

This is a static image, but these dinosaurs look like they are moving.

Same story: Just a picture, not a gif. And yet these leaves look like they are moving all the same.

(Thread)

I spent the last 6 years researching, writing, and thinking about habits. The culmination of this work was my recent book, Atomic Habits. (Now a NY Times best seller!)

In this thread, I'll share tweets from myself and others that illustrate some key lessons I learned.
Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement. They don't seem like much on any given day, but over the months and years their effects can accumulate to an incredible degree.
Good habits are the foundation of health.

QUOTES ON HABITS AND HUMAN BEHAVIOR

As I was researching and writing Atomic Habits, I discovered many quotes on habits and human behavior. In this thread, I'm going to share some of my favorites.
PART I

Quote on the importance of habits...
"People do not decide their futures,
they decide their habits and their habits decide their futures."

What is an Atomic Habit?

Atomic Habits launches in 3 weeks (!) and it's currently in some pretty good company on Amazon. (Shout out to @RayDalio.)

As we gear up for the launch, I want to explain why I chose the phrase "Atomic Habits" as the title for the book.

Here we go...
I chose the title Atomic Habits for three reasons.

The first one you might expect. The word "atomic" can mean tiny or small, like an atom. And it is a core part of my philosophy that habits should be small and easy to do.
The second reason: the word atomic can also mean "the fundamental unit in a larger system." Atoms form molecules, molecules form compounds, etc.

Habits are like the atoms of our lives. They are small routines—fundamental units—that combine into the overall system of our life.
