Every action you take is like a vote for the person you want to become. Holy sh*t that's profound. I really needed that, thanks.

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the amazing art for each video and how well it's matched up with the dialogue.

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard” Wise words…

Atomic Habits had a tremendous impact on my life. I picked up the book randomly when I was going through a hard point in my life and became hooked. I started implementing small habits into my daily routine. Now about a year, my life transformed for the better. Here are the daily habits I established: 1. Morning routine: consists of hygiene, reading, exercise, vitamins, and a healthy breakfast. 2. After work routine: Shower, 15 min power nap, Journaling. 3. Other Habit: Post consistent YT shorts 3 times a week, and still learning what else I should add. Takeaways: 1. Start small and work your way up. 2. Turn OFF your phone. Get that thing away from you!!! 3. Keep going even if you missed a day. Eventually, it will become part of you.

This is so true. I've gone through a huge change from when I was 18 to now being 28. The biggest thing I've learned is that progress is like a tree, you can plant the seed but you can't make it a tree over night. Any progress in life takes time and where we fail is not that we don't see progress right away but that we EXPECT results right away. The biggest thing I wished I learned when I was younger would be that if you want something, start working on it now and understand that thing will come later.

Sometimes the biggest changes come from the smallest shifts. I love this video!

Okay, seriously, the high quality information and artwork, the easy to digest transposition of effort, and the power of disseminating of these types of messages is so epic it's hard to believe this is free to us.

Couple things I have found helpful. When it comes time do my weight lifting, an important part of the habit is simply changing into my sneakers and shorts. The second thing is while I am putting on my sneakers and shorts, I tell myself in my head a couple of times (or hell, even out loud), "I'm not committing to a workout, but I'll do a set." I even kind of say in a way that is kind of casual (kind of like if you were at a restaurant "yeah, sure I'll try the daily soup.") (I realize on a conscious level, that in reality I am going to do a workout, but for some reason, I just tell myself it's a set, and it is really, really effective to get the ball rolling. Then I just do another set, and another set, and pretty soon, I am half way through the workout. Tip 3: Sometimes if I really am not feeling it, I will do my first set in my regular clothes, and then change out to sneakers and shorts while my resting muscles from first set. Also, make sure you don't make it an overly time consuming or big workout. I do a quick 25-30 minute weight lifting routine. Typically just do three different weight lift sets, chest, back, biceps, and do situps while resting muscles in between sets. On other days you can do different muscle groups, i.e. legs. I think it's more important to be consistent than to do big workouts, and small workouts require less willpower. Make it easier to do.

My life has changed in a way i can't explain, and all because of a tiny habit. And my day is constructed around this one little thing. I am currently using a beard growing solution wich i have to apply twice a day. So before the first application i already walked in the sun, ate breakfast and took a shower. And by the night before i apply the solution i already trained and worked. I was literally a fat frustrated guy, and now i am changing more and more everyday. Feeling great and filled with purpose. My advice for you: just start right now!

One of the most practical and relatable book I have ever read because I was ultra procrastinator now after reading this book my life become better

I feel guilty watching this channel for free. You do so much good After Skool. I wish all the best to your team. Thank you for these wisdom nuggets.

i enjoy the terminology in this video - "lagging measure", casting a "vote" for who you want to be - very insightful

“Goals are good for setting a direction, but systems are best for making progress.” I like this quote. This book goes great with the mindfulness workbook called 30 Days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels.

Small habit changes make a huge difference. Wake up early. Even on days off. Lift heavy things. Get out in the sun. Make your family a priority daily. Eat real food. I made these changes. Amazing the difference. The hard part is staying disciplined and consistent. Make the change now. Don’t wait.

I like the motto "Tiny changes, remarkable results", plenty of meaning in those words. After reading 'Atomic Habits' I have a better understanding of how to create systems for long term habits to stick.

Atomic Habits was a game-changing book for me. Stoked to see an After Skool video covering it!! 😃

My best mate recommended this book to me this afternoon to help me out of a mini breakdown. Synchronicities me thinks. 🙏

this reminds me of the compound effect where stall things done presistently add up to large things.

I believe I digest interviews better with your illustrations. Keep up the great work!

It's so true. It's hard to control luck, but you can control your process to be more efficient. I wish realize this sooner. Thank you.

Habit-Stacking is our household word. Huge thanks to you, James Clear. We get better in everything 1% a day. After 3 years, we marvel at accomplishments without loosing momentum for the next.

I applaud you for creating content that people want and integrating a commercial that aligns with that and is not annoying.

You know you‘ve chosen the right book when After Skool makes a video about it.

You owe it to yourself to do the best that you can. That looks different for everyone

Someone said "Luck is where preparation meets opportunity"...and I agree. 🍀

6:10 "Once begun, half done." --Aristotle

thank you - good stuff. One thing that I would like to add - some people find it very difficult to start a new (healthy) habit, sometimes this is because of some past trauma or current psychological issue. Some people would benefit from going for counselling to break through that trauma/issue, as a first step. Counselling also helps break out of the idea that I am a victim of my circumstances mindset.

I’m so glad that I have stumbled upon other videos pertaining to Atomic Habits. It’s already made a difference that I can feel. I love After Skool!

I just need to say thank you for how elaborate and intentional you craft these videos out to be! As corny as it may sound, I feel so inspired to change my life; Seriously.

"We feel Good about our Bad habits Immediately, but very Bad about them in the long run." "We feel Bad about our Good habits immediately, but very Good about them in the long run."

thank you again, After Skool and James Clear for another amazing video

Love this book and this summary of it!

In love with this video. It has just asnwered my question about good and bad habits, the way bad habits are way much easier to stick. Thanks a Million.

this is for sure one of the best videos / speeches i've heard in a while. well done!

I purchased this book twice. Best damn book I've ever listened to/read. Quite literally my number one recommendation. It applies to literally everyone (because everyone has habits). Disagree with me? Too bad. You're a human being, just like the rest of us; therefore it does apply to you. Welcome to Atomic Habits. A slow methodical grind at improving your life- one tiny step at a time. If you're as short on attention as I am? Do yourself a favour and buy the audiobook first. If you want a visual reference you can always pick up the book later-- or just follow the web addresses James Clear references throughout the book.

the visual of the video its an art in all languages

Thanks for the videos! They are really helpful, especially in these times.

As always you deliver a great piece of artwork with a great piece of theory. Thank you for all in which you do.

It's all habits, train your mind!

That was an amazing talk! It articulated so many truisms Ive seen and experienced in my own life. I always say make changes you can keep for the rest of your life, or talk about momentum, and the importance of behaviors over words. This is great stuff!

The biggest mystery to me is how this channel can exist without the dark powers that may be, interfering with it. Either way, glad it does. I feel like I've learned a ton of things that would make anyone a better person should they so choose to enact them in/on/upon all three planes of human existence (mental, physical, spiritual). Keep waking em up frens :)

One of the best books I've ever read & this has made me want to re-visit it. My favorite nugget from the book was when he talked about how the best way to change your habits is to change your systems. As a result of that a by product of that will result in your habits changing over time. Very simple but extremely powerful when put into practice. Thanks for sharing!

I went extreme on my self with not starting small and it was really hard on me but now that I’m through it I know I can do anything I put my mind to don’t recommend tho, what he says in the video is amazing advice to start small. Since the start of 2023 I quit vaping quit weed starting drinking only water quit junk food sodas and anything artificial and started doing a daily work out. I was messed up for 2 weeks and being an asshole to everyone but managed to get through and now it’s becoming normal and not a challenge I feel way better!

Thanks for awaring this moment.

Phenomenal work as always. I’ve read Atomic Habits each year for the past three years and it’s one of the books I recommend the most. Thank you for the collaboration here and the beautiful illustrations. I was temted to mention a typo but thought better of it 😊

I've noticed the same about the idea that if we can just get ourself there or started then the rest is easy. Like I procrastinate a lot when I need to go for a walk...once I get out the door I really enjoy the walk but for some reason it's a battle to get up and get shoes on and get out the door....it's not the walk that I don't like, it's the initial moments of getting up and accepting that I'm going for a walk that seems to be the problem. Strange how that works

Wish I heard this type of message when I was younger and see the way being gifted was really a special need.

Needed this. Very well thought out.

Such a well made video! I love the cartoons doodles because they really helped me to understand what you meant as a visual learner. Keep it up!

JUST saw this video on my feed & I almost yelled with excitement!!! I have the book, but can’t seem to finish it😋 SO excited to watch this!!!!!

Alot of people give up their dreams while there are in the valley of disappointment. What a book. I read three times

Needed this ❤🙏 much love y'all

Truely a masterpiece, beautifully illustrated and narrated ❤☀✌🏻

I'm part way through reading this book. I must say that the illustrations in this article help drive the point home.

Thank you for all of your wonderful informative videos !!! ✌️♥️

Key Moments 01:35 Your bank account is a lagging measure of your financial habits your knowledge is a l- measure of your learning habits 02:20 Meditating for 1 min does not give you a sense of calm. But it does cast a vote for you telling yourself you are a meditator Example can be Making 1 youtube video does not make you an editor. But it does cast a vote telling you that you are a youtuber, a creator Goal is not to write a book. It is to become a writer. 4:25 Wow. Cost of your good habits is the present moment. [ It feels hard now to work out now, to learn now]. The cost of your bad habits is the future. [Eat bad food often. And later you will suffer] We prioritise the present over the future ends up making a lot of habit change difficult. Connect this to other video they released = Optimum morning routine by Andrew Huberman = 2 key points at 13;09 and 13;48 in that video

Amazing video. Thank you so much

This is great. Thank you for sharing!

This is wonderful! I have the print version, the audio book and now this. This is distilled, concentrated. . Also, Tharp will be thrilled that you guessed her to much younger than she is.

3:00 Immediate v ultimate rewards - spot on! It’s like my mom’s philosophy of parenting: Take the east road now (placate that begging kid) for a really long hard road later or do the difficult thing now in the short term for a really long easy time later.

Thanks 🙏 for this! Really good, 👍 and excellent illustrations! Cheers!

Thank you for the great information. I deeply appreciate it.

Fantastic content as always, love you guys

Was just debating on picking this book up for the past week. What good timing

This an excellent summary of the book. Thank you

Sounds just like a modern explanation of karma: our actions shape our environment and visa versa. I really love this explanation of how to get to the root of the karma: it all starts with our current actions. It all started, starts, and will start in the here and now. It’s funny and sad how many people want to get away from whatever moment they are experiencing. This moment is precious… the ultimate “my precious”. We are more precious than any material thing ❤🙏🏼

this is the greatest youtube channel ever

This cheered me up. Thx man

Keeping it seriously simple aka KISS is one of my best habits. I am 65 years, seven months and two days. Smiles

Great review, thanks a lot!

Oh this was just PERFECT 💝

This book changed my life. Everyone should read it!

I learned to stop dreaming and take action. Discipline and consistency is key. My philosophy is that philosophy is action. Contain myself in the present moment. Stoicism!!!

I was not doing well after a breakup so I decided I wanted to better myself, I went to the library because I decided I wanted to read for the first time in years. I picked up atomic habits and boy am I glad I did

It I might add, changing habits is not only a physical change but also a mental change change help immensely. Changing the way you react or your perception of the habit can change the way your brain reacts to it over time. Dreading the corrosive feel of soda and the thought of a stomachache when eating the sugary or greasy foods you want to avoid gives the brain a signal of hey this might no longer be a reward, but instead a punishment. And doing the opposite with good habits you want to make. This salad is so refreshing or the fresh air on a walk feels so good. After a while the way your brain reacts to bad habits is changed to a negative response and visa versa to good habits

Thank you 🙏🏿 love and peace

Love these summaries :)

Thank you for making such an amazing video

This was great!

I love you James Clear.

Thanks!!!

This book had the biggest impact on my life any book has

The art is how the message is presented

"Entry points"! Such a valuable concept!

I LOVE AFTER SKOOL !

Fantastic video and animation. Thank you!

Absolutely amazing content as usual! Definitely gonna read this book now.

When you put it like that I agree.

Thanks. Good stuff!!

Wow. So well explained.

Like the idea about addressing "priority n goals" (mismatched)

I remember learning about the entry points. I enjoy creating art, And if the is a spell of time iam unmotivated to create art I rememberhow the brain operates. So i take a brush loaded with paint & make 1 mark or stroke, daily, Until my memory is motivated to paint- more. Thanks for the content

Absolutely love your drawing style

Thank you 😊
