James Clear says it best:
“If successful and unsuccessful people share the same goals, then the goal cannot be what differentiates the winners from the losers.”
If you want a better life, you need to build better habits.
Here are the 7 that changed mine:
1. Journaling
Daily journaling creates a sense of clarity.
It allows you to reflect on:
- Where you are
- Where you want to go
- And what you need to do to get there
Journaling for 15 minutes in the morning helps me stay focused on my goals throughout the day.
2. Delayed Gratification
You need to value long term gain over short term happiness.
Anything worth achieving takes time.
There will be days, sometimes weeks, where you seem to make very little progress.
Fall in love with the process and the results will come.
3. Plan your day
“If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.” — Benjamin Franklin
It's easy to waste a day when you don't know what you should be doing.
A plan provides actionable steps to take towards your goals.
Spend 15 minutes each night planning for tomorrow.
4. Focused Work
You cannot make progress towards your goal without taking daily action.
Focused work is the way to do that.
Commit to 3-4 hours per day and you’ll change your life.
5. Sleep
If you neglect sleep, you'll underperform in every aspect of your life.
Easy ways to improve sleep:
- Avoid screens 1 hour before bed
- Keep your room dark, cool, and comfortable
- Wake up and go to sleep at the same time daily
6. Exercise
Exercise is a long term investment in your energy levels.
Daily exercise increases mental clarity & performance.
All you need to do is:
- Weight train 3-4x per week
- Increase your daily movement
7. Effort
Don't let the reason you came up short be from a lack of effort.
Your effort level is in your control, you have no reason not to give it 100%.
Once you find your passion:
- Show up daily
- Put in the work
The results will come.
Your success is not defined by your goals.
It is defined by the habits and systems you build.
Commit to 6 months of consistency and your life will be changed.
7 simple habits that will change your life:
1. Journaling
2. Delayed Gratification
3. Planning your day
4. Focused Work
5. Sleep
6. Exercise
7. Effort
If you made it this far, I appreciate you and your time.
