Atomic Habits Framework

Biological Parallel

Organisms don't transform overnight—they accumulate microscopic adaptations. Darwin's finches didn't leap from small to large beaks; each generation shifted 0.1mm in response to seed availability. Atomic habits mirror this: compound small changes rather than attempt revolutionary shifts. Biology favors incremental iteration over dramatic mutation because small changes are testable, reversible, and survivable. The organisms that evolved best didn't optimize for transformation—they optimized for sustainable, cumulative micro-improvements.
