If anyone is familiar with the quoted book, how does one quantify and measure the amount of “betterment”, or even define static “goodness”? Life is a complex affair on many simultaneous tracks. Prioritising one track often impedes the performance on another track in the long run. If you define the “perfect state” of yourself as having gone through thousands of tickets, bullet lists or redundant self-help books, you will certainly suffer in other areas.

It's about atomic habits. Like do it 1% better and you will be 100% better in 100 Days. Expand all areas and so one. SMART Goals. He does also sell a journal to track everything, so this is this.

I liked the book and the mindset. Reminded me of Arete [0]. But for me it's more like an ideal and a reminder. A bit of fake it till you make it and what would a person who already obtained the goal do or did do in my stead.
