one good day

James Clear’s book Atomic Habits is MSRE’s February book of the month. I read this book twice over the last two years and would say it is the best book I have personally read on the idea of habits and discipline. Love this quote from James’ newsletter that I received today.

"Just have one good day. Then repeat." - James Clear

A pretty simple formula for life when put in those words! It reminds me of an interview that my favorite fiction author, Cormac McCarthy, had with Oprah. Cormac basically said his goal is to simply write a few pages each day that are better than yesterday’s pages. His straightforward philosophy has led to some of the greatest American fiction and a Pulitzer Prize for his masterpiece, The Road.
