Atomic Habits from @jamesclear changed my life.
In Atomic Habits, James lays out the Four Laws of Behavior Change.
1. Make it obvious
2. Make it attractive
3. Make it easy
4. Make it satisfying
Here's how to leverage them to build a daily writing habit (๐งตโ๐ผ):
Habits are made up of a four-part feedback loop:
1. Cue
2. Craving
3. Response
4. Reward
Building a habit means intentionally designing each part of this feedback loop.
1. Make it obvious
2. Make it attractive
3. Make it easy
4. Make it
Before you start to build a writing habit, it's important to understand the real goal.
Your goal isn't to start writing.
Your goal is to become a writer.
Why the subtle difference?
Because behavior change is identity change.
We don't stick to habits that aren't aligned with our identity.
Luckily, habits that align with your identity are easy to stick to.
Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you want to become.
So to become a writer, we have to consistently cast "writer votes."
Step 1: Make it obvious
Time and location are the most important habit cues.
You MUST leverage them to build your writing habit.
Every great writer has their sacred hours.

The Habit Loop
— James Clear (@JamesClear) November 5, 2018
To better understand how a habit works and how to improve it, let's divide a habit into four stages.
1. Cue
2. Craving
3. Response
4. Reward
These four stages create a feedback loop. Your mind is endlessly running this loop and learning from its experiences. pic.twitter.com/sURCbTPp3N
