Tweet of the Week: James Clear (@JamesClear) on getting started

So get started!

Tweet of the Week: @WholeHeartedMus

I love how granular this tweet is. Every action, big and small, huge and miniscule, either brings us closer to who we want to become or further away.

The word vote is also quite descriptive here. The version of you with the most votes wins. And those votes can be really small things.

Vote wisely.

Tweet of the Week: @JamesClear

I have mentioned being a fan of James Clear many times here on the TEM Blog. This tweet is a great example of why.

“A habit is a lifestyle to be lived, not a finish line to be crossed.”

I have framed a habit in my head as having a finish line many times. Maybe not explicitly, but that’s how I’ve approached them theoretically.

This is a call to action over the long haul. Sustainable change is what we are really looking for.

And as a bonus, here is a reply to the above tweet which also resonated with me:

Another protip: when creating a new habit, focus on frequency over intensity.

For example, do 1 pushup per day instead of 20 pushups every few days. It has to be so easy and small that you can't fail.

Frequency over intensity! I have successfully created new habits in the practice room, as a writer, as a podcaster and as a small business owner using frequency as the engine so this is a good reminder!

Tweet of the Week: James Clear (@JamesClear)

This one is pretty straightforward and was still something I needed to be reminded of.

The big things we do are reinforced.

The little things we do are reinforced.

The intentional things we do are reinforced.

The unintentional things we do are reinforced.

Proceed with caution.

Tweet of the Week: James Clear (@JamesClear)

Great list! I should do more of these regularly!

Tweet of the Week: James Clear (@JamesClear)

I love the angle he takes here. Not that it’s the right thing to do to not insist on always having the last word (which it is.)

He is pointing out that not doing so will save you so much time which resonates with each and every one of us.

Great advice.
