Bad habits repeat themselves repeatedly, not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change.
10 Lessons From (the book you still haven't read) Atomic Habits by James Clear:
Bad habits repeat themselves repeatedly, not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change.
Here are 10 lessons from Atomic Habits by James Clear that can help you do that.
The easier it is to begin your new habit, the more likely you will stick with it.
If you want to start running, for instance, don't make a goal of running 5 miles a day.
Once that becomes easy, add more each time until you're up to your goal.
Cues are habits that trigger other habits.
For example, brushing your teeth is a cue that triggers the habit of flossing.
If you want to form a new habit, find an existing cue that you can use to trigger it.
When you have a craving for something, you're more likely to act on it.
So if you want to form a new habit, find a way to create a craving for it.
For example, if you want to eat healthily, ensure healthy snacks are visible and easily accessible.
The more satisfying your new habit is, the more likely you will stick with it.
If you're trying to eat healthily, make sure you're eating foods you enjoy and filling you up.
Goals give you something to strive for and help keep you motivated.
When setting a goal for your new habit, make sure it's specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).
If you want to make sure you stick with your new habit, set a deadline for yourself.
For example, if you want to start working out, make a goal of working out three times a week for six weeks.
When you have a plan, you're more likely to follow your habits.
So if you want to make sure you're sticking to your new habit, plan how you will do it.
The first plan you make likely won't work, so adjust it as needed.
Having someone to keep you accountable can be a great way to make sure you're sticking to your habits.
Find someone with a similar goal and check in with each other regularly to see how you're doing.
When you reach your goals, reward yourself!
This will help motivate you to keep going and make it more likely that you'll stick with your habits.
The reward can be big or small; it doesn't matter as long as it's unique.
Tracking your progress is a great way to stay motivated and on track with your habits.
Use a journal or app to track your new habit and how well you're doing.
This will help you see your progress and keep moving forward.
Developing good habits can be hard, but it's worth it.
These 10 lessons from Atomic Habits by James Clear can help you get started.

A THREAD ON @SarangSood
Decoded his way of analysis/logics for everyone to easily understand.
Have covered:
1. Analysis of volatility, how to foresee/signs.
2. Workbook
3. When to sell options
4. Diff category of days
5. How movement of option prices tell us what will happen
1. Keeps following volatility super closely.
Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.
Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.
2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.
3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result
He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.
4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega
Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.

I am quite different from your style. I follow the market's volatility very closely. I have mock positions in 7-8 different strategies which allows me to stay connected. Whichever gives best profit is usually the one i trade in.

Anilji most of the time these days Theta only falls when market moves. So the Theta actually falls where market has moved to, not where our position was in the first place. By shifting we can come close to capturing the Theta fall but not always.

This week has been great so far. The main aim is to be in the right side of the volatility, rest the market will reward.

There is a difference between theta decay & fall in vega. Decay is certain but there is no guaranteed profit as delta moves can increase cost. Fall in vega on the other hand is backed by a powerful force that sells options and gives handsome returns. Our job is to identify them.

"I really want to break into Product Management"
make products.
"If only someone would tell me how I can get a startup to notice me."
Make Products.
"I guess it's impossible and I'll never break into the industry."
MAKE PRODUCTS.
Courtesy of @edbrisson's wonderful thread on breaking into comics – https://t.co/TgNblNSCBj – here is why the same applies to Product Management, too.
There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.
You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.
But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.
And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.
They find their own way.
