31 - Habits are Hard

Motivate Me Book Club

Habits are hard to change, adopt and get rid of. This has been no easy feat for your host, Pineapple Jen, to change her ways. Over the course of many books, ideas have been presented on how to develop successful habits. It seems that to be efficient or effective there are habits to adopt and habits to drop. It takes time and effort but which WAY of doing this works the best? It’s probably not the same for everyone. Habit tracking is what Jen has been trying to do, unsuccessfully. Why has this happened? We reflect on how tracking habits has NOT been something of a habit in the first place. Atomic Habits by James Clear offers another approach to habit change. The Melting Ice Cube analogy puts things into yet another perspective. Let’s give this book a read and find out what we can extract from it.
