I'm not a certified Bibliophile, but I love collecting books to learn and train myself well. Weird ideology if that's what you think, but I believe that collecting books is a sign that you are determined to acquire more knowledge. Since I was young, I have read many educational books and free fictional e-books on Wattpad. They highly influenced me into what I am today, but I feel that reading them would not entirely help me to discover myself.
I have nine books (I can't find the other part of Peculiar's Tale), and five of them are specialized in giving help for our personal growth. Moreover, I want to hone and inspire myself too well, which is the starting point of why I can only purchase physical books. Without Atomic Habits, those self-help books you see today would not exist. Nothing can cross up my mind, lol.
Thank you, Ate 
Before the classes started last year, I thought that I needed to invest in buying a book that could guide me to perform the better habit. I learned significant lessons from reading in my spare time, and I'm so thankful for this, as it helped me to form better personal habits that I'm still applying today.
To give you a sneak peek of the book, let me introduce some of the tables of contents along with their brief description. He creatively explained those contents, and I think it would take me a day if will write all of the lessons I grasped.
Introduction
It is the part where the author shares the most significant struggle in his life and a back story on how the book was formed. Until today, I am still amazed at how he coped with his battles, although his accident could lead him to death.
The Fundamentals: Why Tiny Changes Make a Big Difference
This part is the starting point of his discussion on building a better habit. One of the main highlights of this part is the habit loop, which was elaborated on in the following chapters. I'm sure you will already get the main idea of performing a good habit, but he explained it in detail to teach us, as their readers, to perform it effectively.
The 1st Law: Make It Obvious
If I were not mistaken, this chapter explains how you can create a good routine in an obvious way. If you want to begin them, you should know how to make your custom visible, which is the specific topic he explained.
The 2nd Law: Make It Attractive
To create a good habits, you must make them irresistible. I learned too many tips from this part since I am proud that it changed my perception of being lazy. Not to brag, but I built differently compared to my classmates after reading this part. Imagine my batchmates were spending their time on social media sites and their short-term boyfriend/girlfriends. Meanwhile, most of my free time is spent creating and developing my articles by that time.
The 3rd Law: Make It Easy
One of the biggest things I have learned in this part is the 2-minute rule in handling procrastination. According to him, "When you start a habit, it should take less than two minutes to do." For instance, if I want to begin my activity, I should start by opening my laptop before getting to the PeakD website to write my blogs. With that, I can state that my habit is easy to begin.
The 4th Law: Make It Satisfying
From its word "satisfying," we should create a habit with a fulfilling experience after making that habit. Like in eating a portion of food, you would not return if you were not satisfied, right? Just a simple explanation, isn't it? We can't build a habit if we think that it is not worth it in the end.
I remember reading it after finishing my module, and here are some things that taught me that I'm still performing today.
- To-do lists: It's been a year since I made to-do lists, either digital or physical, to track my daily and weekly activities. I can't believe that I achieved "With Honors" and maintained good earnings and interaction from blogging last year. I remember that I could also participate in Axie Infinity, but I stopped after three months as I observed that it was already affecting my mental health. It looks like I was playing it to give myself more stress.
- Forgetting about the goals, focus on the system instead: Clear once said that goals restrict our happiness. Therefore, I realized that I should not set any goals anymore, and I would just focus on my plans.
- Habit Stacking: I almost forgot about this term, but I can say I am unknowingly doing this daily. In my noise.cash account, I always remind myself and my subscribers about the things that I would do. By doing that, I can perform my habits according to the author's guidelines.
