Atomic habit Cardinal rule of behavioural change
“The 4th Law of Behavior Change is making it satisfying.
ø We are more likely to repeat a behaviour when the experience is satisfying.
ø The Cardinal Rule of Behavior Change: What is immediately rewarded is repeated. What is immediately punished is avoided. The human brain evolved to prioritize immediate rewards over delayed rewards.
ø To get a habit to stick you need to feel immediately successful—even if it’s in a small way.
ø The first three laws of behaviour change—make it obvious, make it attractive, and make it easy—increase the odds that a behaviour will be performed this time. The fourth law of behaviour change—make it satisfying—increases the odds that a behaviour will be repeated next time.”

Notes about Two minute rule: “Strategies like this work for another reason, too: they reinforce the identity you want to build. If you show up at the gym five days in a row—even if it’s just for two minutes—you are casting votes for your new identity. You’re not worried about getting in shape. You’re focused on becoming the type of person who doesn’t miss workouts. You’re taking the smallest action that confirms the type of person you want to be.”
