For further reading, this article is based (with credit) on James Clear's original, which uses techniques based on GTD and Fogg's Tiny Habits (which themselves are all probably just formalised folk wisdom), which have been discussed many times here fwiw.

Fogg’s stuff is pretty well researched and rises a few steps up from formalised folk research (though I get what you mean).

I don’t think James does enough to credit Fogg. I mean Atomic Habits — based on Tiny Habits... and the name “two minute rule” lifted and shifted from GTD. He’s a good writer and deserves his success on that basis, but I get a bad impression from these few examples I know of.

Yes, I noticed that as well, the lack of credit but I wasn't sure if I just hadn't seen enough of the site.
