We were tasked with reading the book atomic habits and doing multiple investigations on this book. Some examples were artifacts and pop art these two investigations provided us with a gateway of knowledge that I would like to share with you today. This project opened me up to many new skills and help me see my strengths and weaknesses in many different lights. I will be able to use these skills in my future to help me succeed
First off what is the book atomic habits Atomic Habits was written by James Clear and it taught almost anything I wanted to know about anything connected to habits I had some key takeaways and they were the 4 laws about building new habits here they are:
- make it obivious
- make it attractive
- make it easy
- make it satisfying
These 4 laws were the key basis on the whole book I thought James Clear did a very good job of explaining the laws in a fun manner while still giving me the knowledge I needed to reach my goal.
The first Artifact was pop art. It was supposed to represent our learning for this year and be significant in representing ourselves. I am not very good at art and I thought this would be a very challenging project but it turned out to be very enjoyable and I felt like succeeded in reaching my goal because I created a nice art that really represented me I am not going to talk much about this as it is explained in my paragraph:
My learning intention this year is to create better study habits for myself I will have better study habits at home in order to get better grades hi have noticed in the past my study habits haven’t been great and I have still done decent but in order to fully succeed I must fix my habits to reach the highest possible grade I can have. To do this I need to build good systems so I when I fall I will fall to and already I level this will help me succeed and reach my goals. TO explain my image I chose to add a speech bubble with math equations inside of it because I am in gr.11 pre calculus and I really want to try to get the best grade possible. I decided to add the aura around me because it represents unlocking my true potential and achieving all the goals. I want. Lastly I chose stars because I want to light up my peers and help them into achieving their goals too.
My artifact was a bit more challenging because I feel like we had much less time I chose to make sports cards of some of my favorite player and assigned each one a different atomic habit the hardest thing about this was connecting them to atomic habits because they weren’t related if I were to do this again I felt like I would have chosen something else regardless I made the and presented them to my parents and the winter exhibition. The four players I chose were Connor Bedard, Johnny and Mathew Gaudreau, Patrick Mahomes, and Stephen Curry. A bunch of these people I look up to and this project showed me what they did to be come great and how I can apply it to my life.
