You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.? ?John C. Maxwell
In the last 15 minutes, weve reviewed 3 articles about morning rituals and routines and each one of them recommends similar dos and donts. From drinking 16oz of water before youre fully awake to holding off on checking email and/or social media until after finishing the most important task for the day.
The possibilities of what works and what doesnt for each person is exponential. But the interesting question were finding ourselves asking is,
What is going to help me, personally, early on in my day, to be willing to take steps toward my goals?
What will remind me of what my goals actually are?
Which, actions or practices, will help me to focus on the bigger picture and future in order to take the best possible care of my business today?
Lately whats helped most is writing down each goal daily. Every single goal thats been set for this year gets re-inked, on paper, daily.
The benefit? A daily refresh and refocus.
No matter whats happened the day or days before, theres a well-thought-out plan of where to go .and just a little bit of time before the need to get cracking on the rest of the days demands.
The next benefit comes in the form of momentum.
After rewriting goals, theres usually enough time to take one or two small actions toward those bigger, juicier life goals.
The satisfaction in making progress?
Priceless.
Usually it takes about 15-20 minutes to write out this years goals. And theres time to enjoy a cup of good strong coffee while doing it. Its quiet, it can be done while curled up in bed with notebook, pen and mug and ease into the day.
Then, theres just enough time to take a step or two toward the best business & personal interests and then . take on the day!
