Improve Your Finances by 3495% | Atomic Habits by James Clear (1)

If you save a little money now, you are still not a millionaire.

If you splurge now, you still didn't go broke.

But keep doing this over time, and you'll see some real changes.

Almost half of all New Year's resolutions are about personal finances.

Only 16% of all New Year's resolutions succeed,

which means that many promises that we make ourselves

about both finances and other important topics, are broken.

That begs the question

- Why is this so difficult?

Why do people continue making promises to themselves that they cannot keep?

And, perhaps most importantly,

is there a way out of this infinite loop of disappointment?

The answer to these questions lies within our habits.

This is a top 5 takeaway summary of Atomic Habits,

written by James Clear.

And this is The Swedish Investor,

bringing you the best tips and tools for reaching financial freedom,

through stock market investing

… and habits.

Takeaway number 1: The Aggregation of Marginal Gains

You've heard the exceptions.

The entrepreneur who hit it big during his first year of business.

The musician who won a contest and became an instant success

The person who guessed a correct string of numbers at the Powerball.

These are stories of explosive wealth accumulation,

and, while they can sometimes be mesmerizing,

they aren't really that reliable.

Let me ask you this:

Do you know of something that you can and will do

that is likely to improve your finances by 100% in a month?

No? Well, me neither.

Do you know of something that could improve your finances by 1%?

This is MUCH simpler.

It could be as straightforward as getting a credit card with some nice cashback,

moving money from a cash account to an index fund,

figuring out how to monetize your hobby,

or just quitting that subscription service that didn't add much to your life anyways.

The 100% improvement is the needle in the 1% haystack.

Don't try to find it.

Instead, just grab the haystack and go look for another one.

In Atomic Habits, James Clear points out that

you need no defining moment to reach success,

whatever success means to you.

Instead, you need many small wins that aggregate over time.

You need a ton of those tiny 1% gains,

which are much easier to spot and act on,

and over time, they'll accumulate.

If you can improve your finances by just a single percentage point each month,

and you keep on doing that, say, for the next thirty years,

you'll see some truly remarkable results.

$10,000 would become $359,496.41,

a 3495% improvement!

James Clear refers to this as “the aggregation of marginal gains”.

This is a really similar concept to what we within financial circles call compound interest.

And it works in the other way too.

If you move 1% in the wrong direction for too long,

you end up in a terrible spot.

This makes one thing strikingly obvious:

It doesn't matter much where you are right now.

What matters is your trajectory.

That's because your current outcome is always a lagging measure of your habits.

A small change in your habits will drastically affect your life

when you allow it to compound.

The plane that takes off in New York lands in Stockholm instead of Moscow

if the pilot shifts the heading just 2.4 degrees north.

But there is a catch.

Anyone who has ever failed a New Year's resolution

knows all too well that motivation alone won't cut it.

Afterall, then everyone would probably succeed with these things,

but the fact is that we are all very conservative with our energy.

Translation: we are lazy.

We shall soon look at a 4-step model that will make you much more likely to succeed

with any new type of habits,

but first, we shall talk about why most of your old New Year's resolutions

were doomed right from the get-go.

Takeaway number 2: Systems » Goals

Conventional wisdom tells us to set smart goals.

That's S M A R T with capital letters:

specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound.

If we follow this advice,

your SMART New Year's resolution might look something like this:

"By the end of this year, I will make sure that my savings account holds $20,000.”

It does sound like a good idea,

but James Clear explains that even smart goals are actually dumb,

especially for achieving long-term success and aggregation of marginal gains.

Here's why:

- Goals are, per definition, only temporary changes.

$20,000 is quite a bit of money,

but it's not match for a spendthrift to burn through.

- Goals are not very motivating.

After you've reached your goal, you've won the game.

As Warren Buffett likes to ask:

“… and then what?”

- Goals restrict your happiness.

In a sense, you are telling yourself that you aren't satisfied until X happens.

Happiness shouldn't only be for your future self!

Instead, we want to turn that goal on its head and ask the following:

“What makes it so that I can have $20,000 in my savings account by the end of the year?”

Take note of the process, the system, that will get you there.

If nothing pops up, try to imagine a person who can get there, imaginative or real.

What does this person do on a daily basis?

And – just as importantly

- what does this person NOT do?

This person probably doesn't wait until the end of the month to see if there's some

money left over to put towards investment,

but rather, that's the first thing he does

when he gets his paycheck.

He probably doesn't watch too many reality series, but instead,

he consumes information that makes him wiser

and that benefits him in the long run.

Moreover, he doesn't invest aimlessly,

picking up the stocks of the latest fad that his colleagues at work recommend

or that he heard about on Reddit.

Instead, he invests with a purpose and a strategy.

Do you think that a person with these habits

- with this system - can accumulate $20,000?

Of course, and he doesn't even have to set it as a goal.

He will reach it anyways, because he already knows how to play.

According to Super Bowl winner Bill Walsh:

“The score takes care of itself.”

The purpose of a goal is to win the game,

but the purpose of a system is that you continue playing the game.

To get as many reps as possible.

Ultimately, it's reps in a properly constructed system that is driving success anyways.

So now I think it's time to learn how to keep playing.

Takeaway number 3: The 4-Step Model of Habits

If you've ever wondered why you cannot stick to the habits

that will transform you into the person you want to become,

the answer lies in one of these four:

Cue, craving, response, reward.

Biologically, we are wired so that when we are put in a certain context (cue),

we want to feel something (craving),

which gets us to act (response),

and finally, getting what we craved for (reward).

For each rep, for each successful cycle in this loop,

your habits become more and more internalized and easier to perform.

The link between cue and reward becomes more obvious,

which can be both an advantage and a disadvantage,

depending on the value that you attach to a certain action.

Before getting into the loop, you need to take inventory.

Create a “Habits Scorecard” where you write down what you do in a day

with a + (positive), = (neutral) or – (negative) next to each habit,

depending on if the habit is turning you into the person you want to be or not.

Now, you are ready to go.

The most powerful cues that exist are time and place.

You want to make cues that lead to positive habits obvious

and those that lead to negative behaviour invisible.

For example, maybe you've noticed on your Habits Scorecard that if you're at the bar

with a certain group of friends right after receiving your paycheck,

you tend to … show off a bit.

You want to be “the king of the bar”

as the Swedish musician Magnus Uggla sings.

Well, then you need to change things up.

If you change the time or the place,

you may have changed the cue so much

that you will no longer indulge in this financially destructive behaviour.

For positive habits, make it obvious,

and there's a powerful method for this which James Clear calls habit stacking.

It looks something like this:

“After [CURRENT HABIT] I will [NEW HABIT]”.

Oftentimes this has both time and place built into it, thanks to your current habit.

With that cup of coffee that you make yourself at home in the morning,

you can learn about personal finance and investing by watching an episode of The Swedish Investor.

Too self-serving? Well, read the damn Economist then.

The next step is craving,

and you crave what is attractive to you, and avoid what is unattractive.

Therefore, you need to make positive habits attractive and negative habits unattractive.

This can be done through as little as reframing your mindset about a few things.

For instance, when you see someone with an expensive car

(which is not a good idea for your wallet right now),

instead of thinking

“wow, this person must be so successful, because otherwise, he couldn't have afforded that car”

you can think

“wow, this person is probably pretty squeezed right now because he spent that much on a car.”

Such a mindset makes splurging less attractive.

It could also mean that you pair some short-term reward

with habits that otherwise just pay off in the long run.

Warren Buffett has mastered this by making reading annual reports of stock market companies more attractive.

While reading, he gets to have an unlimited amount of Coke.

Alright, I made this up, but the man does drink a ton of Coke,

and he does read a ton of annual reports.

Thirdly, we have the response.

You want the response to be easy for good habits and difficult for bad ones.

James Clear gives a ton of great examples on how to do this in his book,

and I think that the most powerful one that we can talk about in conjunction with financial habits is the lock-out.

If you have a tendency to come home with more than you expected every time you visit the mall,

then start bringing just enough cash for the purchase you planned, but no more.

You can do similar things to lock-in good behaviours, but there's another powerful technique too.

This is to downscale every new habit into a lesser version of itself.

Staying up until midnight working on your side-business before waking up at 6 AM for work

becomes doing something for your side-business for 5 minutes after finishing dinner.

Setting aside 40% of your income towards investments each month becomes setting aside $100.

The point is to show up, to get in reps, and make it more likely to show up by not committing

to too much already from the start..

Most people would rather dream about running a marathon

than actually tying their running shoes.

But you need to have confidence in the snowball that you are creating by starting out small.

Finally, there's the reward, and positive habits should have satisfactory rewards

while negative habits should have unsatisfactory ones.

A surprisingly satisfactory tool to use is the streak.

It also works in the opposite direction;

I truly hate breaking my streaks.

The keyword here is visuals.

Put up an almanac on your fridge and make a clear green checkmark

on every day that you, for instance, did not end up with your hand in the cookie jar,

ie. taking money out of your investment account for personal consumption.

If you did, make a big red cross.

But do not miss twice.

If you can get these four right,

you are MUCH more likely to stick with the habits you wish to have and avoid those you do not want.

Takeaway number 2: Systems » Goals Conclusión número 2: Sistemas " Objetivos 第二个要点：系统》目标

Conventional wisdom tells us to set smart goals. La sabiduría convencional nos dice que fijemos objetivos inteligentes. 传统智慧告诉我们要设定明智的目标。

That's S M A R T with capital letters:

specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. específicas, mensurables, alcanzables, pertinentes y sujetas a plazos. 具体的，可衡量的，可实现的，相关的和有时间限制的。

If we follow this advice, 如果我们遵循这些建议，

your SMART New Year's resolution might look something like this: tu propósito SMART de Año Nuevo podría ser algo así: 您的智能新年计划可能如下所示：

"By the end of this year, I will make sure that my savings account holds $20,000.” "Para finales de este año, me aseguraré de que mi cuenta de ahorros tenga 20.000 dólares".

It does sound like a good idea, Parece una buena idea,

but James Clear explains that even smart goals are actually dumb, |||||anche|intelligenti|obiettivi|||stupide pero James Clear explica que incluso los objetivos inteligentes son en realidad tontos,

especially for achieving long-term success and aggregation of marginal gains. |||||||accumulation||| especialmente para lograr el éxito a largo plazo y la agregación de ganancias marginales. 特别是为了实现长期成功和边际收益的聚合。

Here's why: 为什么呢：

- Goals are, per definition, only temporary changes. - Los objetivos son, por definición, sólo cambios temporales. - 目标根据定义只是暂时的改变。

$20,000 is quite a bit of money, 20.000 dólares es bastante dinero,

but it's not match for a spendthrift to burn through. ||||||транжира||| pero no es rival para un derrochador. mais ce n'est pas suffisant pour qu'un dépensier s'en mette plein les poches. 但挥霍者烧钱却不是最好的选择。

- Goals are not very motivating. - Los objetivos no son muy motivadores. - 目标并不是非常激励人的。

After you've reached your goal, you've won the game. Cuando hayas alcanzado tu objetivo, habrás ganado la partida. 当你达到目标时，你赢得了比赛。

As Warren Buffett likes to ask: |Warren||||

“… and then what?”

- Goals restrict your happiness.

In a sense, you are telling yourself that you aren't satisfied until X happens. En cierto sentido, te estás diciendo a ti mismo que no estarás satisfecho hasta que ocurra X.

Happiness shouldn't only be for your future self! ||||per||| La felicidad no debe ser sólo para tu futuro yo. 幸福不应该只留给未来的自己！

Instead, we want to turn that goal on its head and ask the following: En su lugar, queremos darle la vuelta a ese objetivo y preguntarnos lo siguiente: 相反，我们希望打破这一目标，提出以下问题：

“What makes it so that I can have $20,000 in my savings account by the end of the year?” "¿Qué hace que pueda tener 20.000 dólares en mi cuenta de ahorros a final de año?". “是什么让我能在年底时在我的储蓄账户中有2万美元？”

Take note of the process, the system, that will get you there. Toma nota del proceso, del sistema, que te llevará hasta allí. 注意一下那个会让你成功的过程、系统。

And – just as importantly Y, lo que es igual de importante

- what does this person NOT do?

This person probably doesn't wait until the end of the month to see if there's some Es probable que esta persona no espere hasta final de mes para ver si hay algún

money left over to put towards investment, dinero sobrante para invertir,

but rather, that's the first thing he does sino que es lo primero que hace

He probably doesn't watch too many reality series, but instead, Probablemente no ve demasiadas series de telerrealidad, pero en cambio, 他可能并不经常看现实节目，而更喜欢

he consumes information that makes him wiser consume información que le hace más sabio

and that benefits him in the long run.

Moreover, he doesn't invest aimlessly, Además, no invierte sin rumbo, De plus, il n'investit pas à tort et à travers, 此外，他并不盲目投资，

picking up the stocks of the latest fad that his colleagues at work recommend |||||||моде|||||| |||acciones|||||||||| recogiendo las existencias de la última moda que recomiendan sus compañeros de trabajo 不会随便购买工作同事推荐的最新潮股票

or that he heard about on Reddit. o que escuchó en Reddit. 或者在Reddit上听说的股票。

Instead, he invests with a purpose and a strategy. ||invierte|||||| En cambio, invierte con un propósito y una estrategia. 相反，他有目的地、有策略地投资。

Do you think that a person with these habits ¿Crees que una persona con estos hábitos 您认为一个有这些习惯的人

- with this system - can accumulate $20,000? - 运用这一系统 - 可以积累2万美元吗？

Of course, and he doesn't even have to set it as a goal. Por supuesto, y ni siquiera tiene que fijárselo como objetivo. Bien sûr, et il n'a même pas besoin d'en faire un objectif.

He will reach it anyways, because he already knows how to play. Lo alcanzará de todos modos, porque ya sabe jugar. Il y parviendra de toute façon, car il sait déjà jouer.

According to Super Bowl winner Bill Walsh: ||||||Walsh

“The score takes care of itself.” "La puntuación se cuida sola". "Le score se fait tout seul.

The purpose of a goal is to win the game, El objetivo de un gol es ganar el partido,

but the purpose of a system is that you continue playing the game.

To get as many reps as possible. ||||повторов|| Conseguir tantas repeticiones como sea posible. Obtenir le plus grand nombre de répétitions possible.

If you've ever wondered why you cannot stick to the habits |||задавались||||||| |||||||mantener||| Si alguna vez se ha preguntado por qué no puede seguir los hábitos

that will transform you into the person you want to become,

the answer lies in one of these four:

Biologically, we are wired so that when we are put in a certain context (cue), |||настроены||||||||||| Biológicamente|||||||||||||| Biológicamente, estamos programados para que cuando nos pongan en un contexto determinado (cue), 从生物学角度来看，当我们置身于特定环境（提示）时，

which gets us to act (response),

and finally, getting what we craved for (reward). |||||жаждали|| |||||anhelábamos|| 最后，得到我们渴望的东西（奖励）。

For each rep, for each successful cycle in this loop, ||повторение||||||| Para cada repetición, para cada ciclo con éxito en este bucle, 对于每个做完的动作，对于这个循环中每个成功的阶段，

your habits become more and more internalized and easier to perform. ||||||внутренними|||| 你的习惯会变得越来越内在化，执行起来也会变得更容易。

The link between cue and reward becomes more obvious,

which can be both an advantage and a disadvantage, ||||||||недостаток lo que puede ser tanto una ventaja como un inconveniente,

depending on the value that you attach to a certain action.

Before getting into the loop, you need to take inventory. Antes de entrar en materia, hay que hacer inventario. Avant d'entrer dans la boucle, il faut faire l'inventaire.

Create a “Habits Scorecard” where you write down what you do in a day Crea un "Cuadro de mando de hábitos" donde anotes lo que haces al día

with a + (positive), = (neutral) or – (negative) next to each habit, con un + (positivo), = (neutro) o - (negativo) al lado de cada hábito, 对于每个习惯，标有+（积极）、=（中立）或-（消极）。

depending on if the habit is turning you into the person you want to be or not.

Now, you are ready to go. Ahora, ya está listo.

The most powerful cues that exist are time and place. |||indizi|||||| Los indicios más poderosos que existen son el tiempo y el lugar. 存在的最强大线索是时间和地点。

You want to make cues that lead to positive habits obvious |||||||verso|positive||evidenti Quieres hacer evidentes las señales que conducen a hábitos positivos 你想要制定能够导致积极习惯的线索变得显而易见

For positive habits, make it obvious,

and there's a powerful method for this which James Clear calls habit stacking. ||||||||||||apilamiento

It looks something like this:

“After [CURRENT HABIT] I will [NEW HABIT]”.

Oftentimes this has both time and place built into it, thanks to your current habit. A menudo, esto tiene tanto el tiempo como el lugar incorporados, gracias a su hábito actual.

The next step is craving, |||è|desiderio 下一步是渴望。

and you crave what is attractive to you, and avoid what is unattractive. ||desideri|||||||||| ||deseas||||||||||

Therefore, you need to make positive habits attractive and negative habits unattractive.

This can be done through as little as reframing your mindset about a few things. ||||||||riformulare|||||| 这可以通过重新调整你对一些事物的思维方式来完成。

For instance, when you see someone with an expensive car |ad esempio|||||con una|||auto costosa 例如，当你看到有人开着一辆昂贵的车时

(which is not a good idea for your wallet right now), （这对你的钱包现在来说并不是一个好主意）

instead of thinking

“wow, this person must be so successful, because otherwise, he couldn't have afforded that car” ||||||||altrimenti|lui|non avrebbe potuto||potuto permettersi|| “哇，这个人肯定很成功，否则他买不起那辆车”

you can think 你可以这样想

“wow, this person is probably pretty squeezed right now because he spent that much on a car.” “哇，这个人现在可能会感到很紧张，因为他在一辆车上花了那么多钱。”

Such a mindset makes splurging less attractive. ||||расточительство|| ||||overspending|| |||rende|spendere eccessivamente|meno| 这种心态会让铺张浪费变得不那么吸引人。

It could also mean that you pair some short-term reward Cela peut également signifier que vous avez besoin d'une récompense à court terme. 这也可能意味着你把一些短期奖励与那些只有从长远角度看才有回报的习惯结合起来。

with habits that otherwise just pay off in the long run. avec des habitudes qui s'avèrent payantes à long terme. 这也可能意味着你把一些短期奖励与那些只有从长远角度看才有回报的习惯结合起来。

James Clear gives a ton of great examples on how to do this in his book,

and I think that the most powerful one that we can talk about in conjunction with financial habits is the lock-out. ||||||||||||||in relazione a|||||||lock-out ||||||||||||||||||||bloqueo| et je pense que le plus puissant d'entre eux, en relation avec les habitudes financières, est le lock-out. 我认为，与财务习惯相结合讨论的最有力的一个习惯是锁定。

If you have a tendency to come home with more than you expected every time you visit the mall, 如果您每次逛商场都会带着比预期更多的东西回家的倾向，

then start bringing just enough cash for the purchase you planned, but no more. 那么开始只带足够购买计划中商品的现金，而不要多带。

You can do similar things to lock-in good behaviours, but there's another powerful technique too. Puedes hacer cosas parecidas para afianzar los buenos comportamientos, pero también hay otra técnica poderosa.
