Day 155 - The problem with habits https://golifelog.com/posts/the-problem-with-habits-1622777816505
Tiago Forte @fortelabs offered an interesting Twitter challenge the other day:
Give me one piece of productivity advice and I’ll give you equally valid counter-advice. ~ @fortelabs
I jumped on the opportunity and asked him for counter-advice to this classic habit hacking law popularised by James Clear:
Habit systems work better than having goals.
Here’s his reply:
Habits lack imagination. They create a false sense of security that progress is linear, predictable, incremental, and compounding, when it’s often more about timing and taking advantage of brief windows of opportunity.
Great counter-advice!
