The Good, Bad, and Ugly About Habit Streaks
And How to Do a Streak The Right Way
Are You Looking to Improve Your Habits?
More than likely, your answer is ‘yes’. It seems nearly everyone is looking for a new hack to improve themselves.
Don’t believe me? Let’s look at some numbers:
The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod, a book about morning habits, sold over 2 million copies and has been translated into 37 languages.
Atomic Habits by James Clear sold over 10 million copies.
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey sold over 40 million copies in 50 languages.
I admit these books are among my personal favorites too.
