you’ll end up thirty-seven times betterBog'liq Atomic habitsyou’ll end up thirty-seven times better
: Jason Shen, an entrepreneur and writer, received an early look at this book. After reading this chapter, he remarked: “If the gains were linear,
you’d predict to be 3.65x better off. But because it is exponential, the improvement is actually 10x greater.” April 3, 2018.
Habits are the compound interest
: Many people have noted how habits multiply over time. Here are some of my favorite articles and books on the subject: Leo Babauta, “The
Power of Habit Investments,” Zen Habits, January 28, 2013,

; Morgan Housel, “The Freakishly Strong Base,” Collaborative Fund, October 31,
2017,

; Darren Hardy, The Compound Effect (New York: Vanguard Press, 2012).
: As Sam Altman says, “A small productivity gain, compounded over 50 years, is worth a lot.” “Productivity,” Sam Altman. April 10, 2018,

Habits are a double-edged sword
: I’d like to credit Jason Hreha with originally describing habits to me in this way. Jason Hreha (@jhreha), “They’re a double edged sword,”

The more tasks you can handle without thinking
: Michael (@mmay3r), “The foundation of productivity is habits. The more you do automatically, the more you’re subsequently
freed to do. This effect compounds,” Twitter, April 10, 2018,

each book you read not only teaches
: This idea—that learning new ideas increases the value of your old ideas—is something I first heard about from Patrick O’Shaughnessy, who
writes, “This is why knowledge compounds. Old stuff that was a 4/10 in value can become a 10/10, unlocked by another book in the future.”
