Book review: Atomic Habits

I avoided this one for a long time because self-help books usually leave me cold. Picked it up on a friend's recommendation and I was wrong.

The headline idea — that tiny improvements compound — isn't new. What's good about the book is the practical machinery around it: the two-minute rule, habit stacking, environment design.

Not every chapter landed for me, but enough did that I've started using the ideas. Worth the read.

Thanks for writing this up. The bit about batching meetings is something I really need to start doing.

Nice read. I had a similar experience with dual monitors — one good screen beat two mediocre ones for me.
