7 day Habits Awareness Challenge (22nd June 2025 - 28th June 2025)

Everything started with my encounter with the book Atomic Habits by James Clear. The aim is to achieve my goal of becoming an IFS officer in the last upsc attempt. As the say you are your habits. Right once make you and bad onces break you. Thus For achieving my aim I have decided to first recognise and then sustain the good habits and choices & improve the bad habits and improve my choices.

This post will record my the first step, that is to recognise and record habits from waking up to bed time. Each day I will record my habits in the following format.

1. Habit

2. Time 

3. Type

4. Nature - good, bad, neutral. 

Eg - 

1. Habit - after each study session in library scrolling one or the other app. Why? - refreshing myself. 

2. Time - 4pm

3. Nature - bad.
