About This Quote
This quote is a misquote. It was originally from the book "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg, not The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. It means a lot more than simply "habits are more valuable than motivation". If you want to make something a habit, you need to make it a priority. You can't treat habits as a replacement for motivation, because motivation is going to fade away as the habits become more developed.
