I agree they are common-sense, even the author said so, but the problem is that people don't come up with the habits until after they need them. If you know the habits and put them into practice early on, they make a difference. But like anything, they only work if they are put into use. I suspect that the best way to use them is to write them on a card and review them often - no book needed.
