All too often the advice given to people is of the order: 'To a depressed person - "Just Cheer Up".' Or perhaps to a person trying to lose weight, "Eat less and move more". While ultimately correct, has no real benefit to the person hearing or reading the advice. Atomic Habits is exactly the opposite. It provides many different ways to create those habits within you. When I bought the book about this time last year, it was supposed to be a Christmas present to myself - one gift among the clutter (isn't that the correct collective noun for Christmas gifts?) just to surprise everyone else, i.e. Santa does make deliveries to adults. Anyway . . . I opened the book during the holidays and could not find that lump of time to read it. Skimming through the book I got one essential point. Reading a book in one lump might not work so well for people, but could you find 15 minutes every morning to do this? At this moment in time, that made all the sense in the world to me. I simply can not find the time to read the book in a lump or two. This is actually something that has worked against me for years. It has limited my progress and my development for the past decade. I do read quickly and on occasion will find that lump of time, but nothing like the 15 minutes every morning. That 15 minutes is the time it takes to boil water for my pour-over coffee maker. I do cheat a little here because I could get my coffee in about 11 or 12 minutes, but let's run with this habit creation. Starting January 2, 2023, the book was completed by the end of the month. Doing the mathematics on this, I found 29 days with 1/4 of an hour each day. This works out to over 7 hours of reading. That was my first read, and I shared this with a friend. We work together on a political executive. Like the "Walking Dead", he changed too. Looking at people who have not read or acquired the skills of Atomic Habits, is much like seeing a person from Mars with two heads. There is an oddity to blaming the lack of time. Everyone reading this book will from the same common point develop their own habits, and develop along their own path, but it will not be for lack of time. Realize what I said, you will never be able to say that there is insufficient time. Here is another example of what happened to me during the past year. I drive 33 minutes to see a dear friend. I treasure the time we have discussing things for he generates ideas and helps me generate those ideas. He does not really know how very important he is to me. But, I then need to drive 33 minutes back. In that hour, I listen to an Audible title - it is a new habit. My obvious caveat here is that the route I take is rather mundane and there are few traffic lights and the posted speeds are not that fast. It is a pleasant drive and now a productive one. So, keeping up with these two habits, let's see how much reading I get done now? Waiting for coffee time: 0.25 hours x 365 = 91 hours of reading! Driving to my buddy's 60 minutes x 50 = 50 hours or reading !! The total amount of reading is now 140 hours of reading in one year. Just those two atomic habits, and on average that could mean 28 books per year if I need 5 hours per book, but only 14 books if I read at the other end of average which is 10 hours per book. On average, a good approximate FOR YOU MIGHT be 7.5 hours per book and therefore 21 books per year. If you have read my review this far, congratulations! You have exactly what it takes to master this one Atomic Habit and become a much better (I don't mean moral) person. Buy the book! Read it in manageable chunks as I suggested. Get Audible (no! I do not work for Amazon) to find those times when you have wasted chunks of time. Buy the book and make a positive difference in yourself. Let that difference infect others (there is that Walking Dead theme again) and together make a difference in your lives and your world. Leo Oja, M.Ed. Read more
