Atomic Habits by James Clear
The 3rd Law – Make It Easy
“Get your reps in”
Study of London cab drivers knowing the roads showed that the hippocampus (spatial memory) decreased when retired. Like weight training
Repeated motions decrease difficulty and become action. Active practice vs. passive learning
Put in your reps is the most critical step. Show up! Make them mean something.
