James Clear Zitate

“A simple strategy that will save you so many headaches: don’t care about winning trivial arguments. Did someone say something you don’t agree with? Smile, nod, and move on to more important things. Life is short. Learning to not care about having the last word will save you so much time.”

“Goals are good for planning your progress and systems are good for actually making progress.”

“Mastery requires both impatience and patience. The impatience to have a bias toward action, to not waste time, and to work with a sense of urgency each day. The patience to delay gratification, to wait for your actions to accumulate and to trust the process.”

“Push enough to make progress, but not so much that it is unsustainable.”

“The things we measure are the things we improve. It is only through numbers and clear tracking that we have any idea if we are getting better or worse.”

“Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement.”

“A habit must be established before it can be improved. Start small. Master the art of showing up. Optimize later.”

“There will always be room for high quality work. Excellence is perpetually scarce.”
