Habit Creep: The Proven, Reasonable and Totally Unsexy Way to Become More Successful
James Clears Grundthema ist ja vorwärts in kleinen Schritten. Das heißt, sich auf die kleinen Dinge zu konzentrieren, um langfristig Erfolg zu haben.
"But the habit creep approach would be to add a very small amount to your standard behavior. Say, 8,100 steps per day rather than 8,000 steps. You can apply this logic to nearly any area of life. [...] Just improve your normal day and the results will take care of themselves. We naturally make long-term changes in our lives by slowly and slightly adjusting our normal everyday habits and behaviors."
Elevate the Important
Interessant fand ich diesen Artikel, der daran erinnert, nicht die wichtigen Dinge im Leben aus den Augen zu verlieren. Warum?
"[...] important things are polite; they do not clamor for our attention. They wait patiently for us to act. The urgent, on the other hand, boldly cry out impatiently for our time. [...] Like a volcano, there comes a day when the neglected areas of our life explode and wreak havoc. Ironically, we wonder how we missed the warning signs."

Und dann die dreiteilige Serie auf The Hustle.
"On the surface it’s a badass story of success: a young professional quits his job, becomes a self-published author, and earns six figures per year. Except for one thing: he doesn’t actually write the books he publishes. Instead, he has a team of outsourced writers and creatives who pump out dozens of books a year to game Amazon and dominate various book categories.Beim Lesen empfand ich genau das Gleiche.
Part of me (about 95%) is disillusioned by this story, while the other part is pumped."
Es gibt einen zweiten Teil, der mich noch mehr ernüchtert hat: "Part 2: Confessions from the Scammy, Underground World of Kindle eBooks". Darin klaut der Autor den Roman von jemandem, ändert die Darsteller etwas und stellt es auf Amazon ein. Hier noch der dritte Teil, in dem ein Leserkommentar veröffentlicht wird: Part 3: Confessions from the Scammy, Underground World of Kindle eBooks
