10 of the most important visuals from "Atomic Habits" by @JamesClear:

(thread) 🧵
1) 1% Better Every Day

If you get 1% better every day for one year, you won't become 10x better...

You'll become 37x better.

Small improvements compound over time and lead to huge results.
2) The Plateau of Latent Potential

Progress is not always linear. Our results are often delayed.

The "valley of disappointment" is the period where we feel discouraged after putting in lots of work without experiencing results.

But this work is not wasted, it's being stored.

Finding time to read is hard.

Finding time to read as a parent is nearly impossible.

Here are 10 reading tips for busy parents:
1) Read for 5 Mins Before the Craziness of the Day

Wake up a few minutes earlier before your kids get up to have some alone time with a book.

Keep a book next to your nightstand so you can easily read without leaving the comfort of your bed.
2) Read On Your Commute

Trains are buses are a great place to read, especially if you have a long ride to and from work.

Keep a book in your work bag so it's always with you while commuting.

If you drive to work or don't like reading on the go, try listening to an audiobook.
