Favorite Book Quotes/Passages:
"Your outcomes are a lagging measure of your habits. You get what you repeat. Bad habits can cut you down just as easily as good habits can build you up, which is why understanding the details is crucial."

"You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems."

"Habits reduce cognitive load & free up mental capacity, so you can allocate your attention to other tasks."
