I was going to complain that this blog post seemed like a rip off of the book Atomic habits. I'm not very clever. Great book that I would recommend to anyone!

The blog post is basically a word for word "rip off" of the book The Power of Habit.

An author posting a labeled excerpt from their own book on their own website isn't ripping anyone off.

The whole idea of habits, habit tracking, etc. has become this weird productivity growth hacking abomination.

That said, the second half of this article is interesting and has useful ideas - I just find the opening few sentences asserting everything in our life is a result of habits to be rather absurd. I wouldn't buy the book.
