Create The Habits You Need To Succeed with James Clear

The Science of Success

CHAPTER

The Importance of Decision Making and Strategy

I love the example of decision making creating the potential or the available outcomes in some sense, creating the ceiling. And then the habits allowing you to capture either some or all or none depending on really the quality of the habits that you choose. You sort of need both. If you stop working, having great strategies is important because it sets that upside, sets that ceiling. But if you stop working or you skip your habits for a month or two or whatever, then no matter how much potential energy is there, it goes to zero. They're not totally separate phases. It's more useful to consider strategy as something that emerges over time than something that's premeditated beforehand.
