Reading Atomic Habits (amazing book) and wanted to ask this intelligent group: what is the best good habit that you’ve automated, or bad habit you’ve made more difficult in the present to generate future returns. For me I think it has been auto deduction for 401k and auto index investing monthly.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

I don’t know about the rest of you but I don’t have enough room in my home for a full blown professional “looking” office.
