Not sure if I'm using Zora links to share the right way on Warpcast, trying another method, this time with the iconic Tre Cime di Lavaredo / Drei Zinnen

As part of Network School's curriculum, I re-read Atomic Habits, which is intended to be a stepping stone for the ambitious 2 books / week pace for the year. After initially reading it in 2021, I was impressed by 2 aspects: 1. How much my new experiences further validated the content of this week and previous knowledge on habits forming (~2010-2015). Whenever I optimized the environment to make the habit easy to repeat every day, obvious, appealing (e.g. writing 500 words a day, taking stairs instead of elevators), change was sustainable and long lasting. Whenever the habit was a "3 times / wk" frequency or required willpower to sustain, results were limited. The point in this book I don't fully agree with is the importance of goals: I've found myself in some autopilot loops (running, writing...) where through the repetition of the habit, I end up with a bunch of words, but no consistent story, or a great mileage / wk number consisting of 10-20km runs, but weakness when crossing km30 of a marathon.

2. Some concepts that I had not paid attention to upon first reading, which became apparent over time Plateau of latent potential: especially with my gardening attempts, I spent hours removing weeds and doing 80% of the tedious work, but because I didn't bring the final 10-20% effort to the table when it mattered, my harvest from last summer was awful I believe this also applies to my strength training, where I've been at the same weight plateau for years, as I tend to get injured / have long breaks which undo months of progress. Playing the right game: while some visual / conceptual habits come easy to me (photography, math, tactics...), there are others where I've been struggling for years, such as acquiring music theory or developing physical strength. While worthwhile pursuits, they don't align with my natural predispositions and curiosity, meaning I get less reward for more effort, bringing inertia to the learning process. Will go back to Naval's almanack and Tim's Tools of Titans now.

Hi folks, crypto-curious photographer and engineer here, just joined Warpcast and Zora 👋 I'll be sharing a few landscapes and portraits to entertain you, potentially embellish your day and understand how these things work ^_^ This is Passo delle Erbe in the Italian Dolomites.
