James Clear’s book Atomic Habits has been a tremendous help to me and several people I know.
But sometimes, there are things you know you need to do, and you just can’t make a habit out of them.
🟣 Maybe you can’t find the right cue to trigger them
🟣 Maybe they need to happen most days, but not every day
🟣 Maybe they need to be done every week, but it’s not important when
🟣 Maybe you’re working toward a goal, but you don’t yet know what the supporting habits need to be
Not every desired behavior needs to be turned into a James Clear-style habit.
Use a habit tracker when it’s the right tool.
Also, use your calendar, your to-do list, your inbox, your pomodoro timer, or any of a number of other tools when they’re the right option.
If you want to explore these options more, I’m thinking about creating a free 5-day challenge to help you create your own long-term self-improvement strategy. Register your interest at no cost by visiting https://www.northwayinsights.com/5dayhabits.
