Hello and welcome back to advice session.

A series here on anything goes where you send in your current dilemmas or anything that you want advice on and I give you my unprofessional advice and today's topic is breaking bad habits, which I feel particularly

primed to discuss because I just recently finished listening to the audio book of Atomic habits, a very popular book about

making good habits and breaking bad ones. There's a chance that you actually read or

listen to this book because it was very popular a few years ago. I feel like it's not

as strong in the zeitgeist anymore, but it was all the rage for a minute there. Everyone was reading

atomic habits. It was changing everyone's lives, it was a movement, but I recently

listened to that book, which is sort of true to my behavior because I always wait until something is no longer hot in the zeitgeist

and then that's when I consume it. Like if there's a really popular TV show I never watch it while it's hot. I usually almost always wait until it's

completely irrelevant and no one's talking about it anymore and then I watch it. I don't

know why I'm like that but I am. Anyway, that's how I was with

atomic habits so I just now finally listened to the audio book and it was a good book

it was really good. There was some really good stuff in there. So I really recommend it. I'll give you an

example of something that really stuck with me. There was a story about like a

British biking team that constantly lost like they were not the most

competitive in their field they were kind of known for losing if I'm remembering

correctly and then a new coach came in and was like,

things are going to change around here.

And instead of making one large fundamental change, the coach decided to change tiny little

small things, like make sure that the cyclists were sleeping better by having a specialist come in and

personalize each and every cyclist's bed to be the most comfortable for them.

Having specialists come in and make sure everybody's bike fit them perfectly.
