Power of Habits

Topics to cover and ideas
- Habits are really powerful and are what allows for long term changes to occur
- Find out what good and bad habits you have
- Map out the motivation that you have for them
- Focus on changing in small increments
- Sometimes doing something in a binary way (yes/no) is easier (for example drink vs no drink, smoke vs no smoke)
- this also applies to teams and how you interact with others
- starting an ambitious habit and then failing can back fire
- reverse engineer your life and optimise it for maximizing your opportunities
- good habits can actually free up your time and give you more flexibility
- some ideas for habits to get (from a technology/development point of view)
- think in graphs
- create automated test and deployment environments (even for the smallest project)
- try to understand how things/apps/code/functions work (i.e. 'follow the packet')
- using programming thinking for normal business challenges
- align the code in a way that makes it easier to read
- see 'Superhuman by Habit: A Guide to Becoming the Best Possible Version of Yourself, One Tiny Habit at a Time' by Tynan
