Lesson 30: To Develop Good Habits, We Must Practice, Practice, Practice…

James Clear’s insight that “The most important habit to practice is the habit of learning how to practice good habits” is incredibly valuable.

If you aim to improve at something, practice is essential. However, to achieve excellence, you need not only practice but also excellent instruction, followed by relentless practice.

For example, if you want to excel at doing your homework, you must establish a habit of consistently and correctly practicing your homework to the best of your ability every day.

The key principle here is that the more times you practice something correctly, the greater the likelihood of reaching your potential. It’s not just about the amount of time you dedicate to improving a habit; it’s about the quality and frequency of those practice sessions that ultimately build great habits.
