A batch of the best highlights from what Shrishty's read, .
If personal space is vital to creativity, so is freedom from “peer pressure.
High-status people enjoy the approval, respect, and praise of others. And that means if a behavior can get us approval, respect, and praise, we find it attractive. We are also motivated to avoid behaviors that would lower our status. We trim our hedges and mow our lawn because we don’t want to be the slob of the neighborhood. When our mother comes to visit, we clean up the house because we don’t want to be judged. We are continually wondering “What will others think of me?” and altering our behavior based on the answer.

■ One of the most satisfying feelings is the feeling of making progress.
■ A habit tracker is a simple way to measure whether you did a habit—like marking an X on a calendar.
■ Habit trackers and other visual forms of measurement can make your habits satisfying by providing clear evidence of your progress.
■ Don’t break the chain. Try to keep your habit streak alive.
■ Never miss twice. If you miss one day, try to get back on track as quickly as possible.
■ Just because you can measure something doesn’t mean it’s the most important thing.
