Daily Thought

“Automaticity is the ability to do things without occupying the mind with the low-level details required, allowing it to become an automatic response pattern or habit. It is usually the result of learning, repetition, and practice.” - James Clear

Automaticity is a powerful force. It allows you to perform complex tasks with ease and speed, honing your skills and expertise. But it also has a dark side. It can make you lazy and stagnant, preventing you from learning and growing.

The solution is to combine automaticity with intentionality. Be mindful of your actions and goals, aligning them with your values and purpose.

So, leverage automaticity and intentionality - and recognize the impact both can have on your life.
