idea

Because of entropy^[1], what doesn't move forward goes backward.

I keep sharpening the saw, I continuously improve myself by learning more, and I continuously seek improvement in every aspect of my life. I admit my mistakes^[2], and make sure I learn from them. I ask for feedback.

references

James Clear / Atomic Habits is presenting a CI framework to create habits, marginal increments that "compound interests". The idea is based of 4 repeating steps:

• make it visible (or invisible): put things where you see them
• make it attractive (or unattractve): stack on good habits you already have, associate to positive thoughts
• make it easy (or hard): put into routing, reset your environment, avoid hard situations
• make it rewarding: stack a “need” to a “want”, shorten the gratification cycle.

• The 7 habits of highly effective people, principle #7. My notes on the topic:

  Apply CI to all aspects of your life.

  You should sharpen all the aspects of your life (physical, mental, social, professional) regularly to maintain the P/PC balance (production / production capacity), as well as sharpen use of habits 1 to 6.
