James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system.

You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights. Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field. Learn how to: make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy); overcome a lack of motivation and willpower; design your environment to make success easier; get back on track when you fall off course; ...and much more. Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits--whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing insights from philosophy, psychology, literature, and theology, a longtime executive business coach explores how and why we make the decisions we do What is it that makes some of us better—or worse—than others at committing to a choice? What are the forces that hold us back, and how can we successfully overcome them? Every facet of our lives depends on the decisions we make. Yet, how often do we pause to reflect on our ability to make the best and smartest choices? The key is how we confront and refine the decision-making process. Here, Joseph Bikart explores the intricacies of decision making, challenging us to understand why we make the choices we do. He explores how the true power of decisions, especially the toughest among them, help us to face our fears and may in turn change how we think about ourselves. Breaking his study into four clear parts and short practical essays, Bikart presents a lively and compelling exploration of the process of decision making. He covers: • Indecision, Indecision: What makes us indecisive? What holds us back and why? • Where Art Thou?: How and where we get stuck and the importance of relaxing one's grip. • The Momentum of Decisiveness: Keeping our focus and proactivity. • The Deciding Mind: Making our smartest choices. Drawing from such different fields as philosophy, psychology, neurology, literature, art history and theology, The Art of Decision Making takes us on a journey from the depths of procrastination to the elation of decision making. Presenting a fresh perspective on what to do at the proverbial fork in the road, Bikart's unique philosophy is insightful, thought provoking, and potentially life-changing.

Download or read book The Procrastination Equation written by Piers Steel and published by Random House Canada. This book was released on 2010-12-28 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DON'T WAIT TO READ THIS BOOK: The world's leading expert on procrastination uses his groundbreaking research to offer understanding on a matter that bedevils us all. Writing with humour, humanity and solid scientific information reminiscent of Stumbling on Happiness and Freakonomics, Piers Steel explains why we knowingly and willingly put off a course of action despite recognizing we'll be worse off for it. For those who surf the Web instead of finishing overdue assignments, who always say diets start tomorrow, who stay up late watching TV to put off going to sleep, The Procrastination Equation explains why we do what we do—or in this case don't—and why in Western societies we're in the midst of an escalating procrastination epidemic. Dr. Piers Steel takes on the myths and misunderstandings behind procrastination and motivation. With accessible prose and the benefits of new scientific research, he provides insight into why we procrastinate even though the result is that we are less happy, healthy, and even wealthy. Who procrastinates and why? How many ways, big and small, do we procrastinate? How can we stop doing it? The reasons are part cultural, part psychological, part biological. And, with a million new ways to distract ourselves in the digitized world, more of us are potentially damaging ourselves by putting things off. But Steel not only analyzes the factors that weigh us down but the things that motivate us—including understanding the value of procrastination.

Download or read book Bedtime Procrastination Cure written by Dylan Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-11 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constantly tired? Depressed? Puffy eyes? Making mistakes & missing deadlines at work?Science agrees that going to bed and waking up at the same time every day is one of the best things you can do for your sleep and health in general. But modern living features some of the most compelling temptations in the form of digital entertainment. If it's not Social Media that's keeping you up at night with endless streams of Snapchat stories, it's a binge watching marathon of a Netflix series that has you hooked and unable to go to bed. If waking up early and feeling fresh sounds like a dream to you, then continue reading. You cannot be an early riser and a bedtime procrastinator at the same time.Insomnia and bedtime procrastination are not the same thing but are closely interrelated. There aren't enough practical solutions. The most common approach to fixing sleep problems is to promote medication use among sufferers. But sleep medication can only address part of the problem and has the potential to create substance abuse tendencies. Most of you know that sleep is essential to your health and well being and yet its the first daily activity to be shortened if work or entertainment captures your attention close to designated bedtime. Until medical science comes up with a way to eliminate our need to sleep completely (which is unlikely to happen in our lifetime), humans will have to come up with ways to allow for sufficient quality sleep in balance with the rest of their day. Humans are largely designed for around 16 hours of awake time. The quality and regularity of your sleep will ultimately determine the quality of those 16 hours awake. Everything from hormonal levels like Testosterone & Estrogen production to Brain fog & Neurogenesis will be determined by the quality of your sleep.You might have everything in place to conquer life and beat the challenges that you face everyday - a solid plan, smart goals and drive to succeed but if you're not getting enough rest, the best plans are bound to fail. This book is for those adults who deal with daytime sleepiness on a daily basis. Sleep requirements vary among humans but if you are a chronic bedtime procrastinator, you will most likely not be getting a sufficient amount of sleep.A persistent tendency to postpone bedtimes with a consistently shifting sleep cycle commonly leads to crippling insomnia, preventing sufferers from leading a satisfying life. A common pattern seen in people with regular jobs involves partying late into the night on Friday nights through the weekend with a sudden shift in bed times as the following Monday approaches. The equivalent 'jet lag' like effect wreaks havoc on an individual's mind, body, hormones and well being. Bedtime procrastination Cure is the first attempt at providing concrete techniques to resolve a life long sleeping problem.Bedtime Procrastination Cure attempts to suggest completely new and unique approaches to fixing an errant sleep pattern. This book features: Beating binge watching addictions & temptations to keep you from sleep Techniques to 'nudge' your sleep cycle back into shape Optimized weekend sleep patterns & light therapy Mental hacks to improve sleep quality & consistency Using everyday technology to optimize sleep patterns Dylan has worked hard to come up with 9 techniques that come together as a system to conquer that sleep issue once and for all. His book features practical insights, solid techniques and simple hacks to address sleep issues that have never been published before in the mainstream. If sleep procrastination is the one thing holding you back from achieving your dreams, it's time for a bedtime procrastination cure.
