Harness the Power of Habits
Motivation and willpower are overrated. It’s your daily habits that determine where you will end up. Make sure what you do every day aligns with your goals – and build productive habits one tiny step at the time.

1
Become Aware of Your Daily Routines

Habits make who you are. Start by defining the habits and underlying beliefs that don’t align with who you want to be.

Set Your Goals

Write down a personal mission statement that outlines your goals and values. Schedule your weekly priorities accordingly and develop the habit of acting on the principles you have defined for yourself.

Start Small

Adopt new behavior patterns one increment at the time. “Mini habits” are “too small to fail” but will compound into huge improvements over time.

Persist

Don’t wait for sparks of “motivation” or “inspiration.” Define the daily tasks you need to complete to reach your goal – and then hunker down and get to work. Keep pushing even on days you are not “feeling it.” Watch those small wins accumulate over time.

Stack Your Habits

Pick an established habit and follow it up with one you want to adopt. Consistently move directly from the first habit into the one you need to accomplish to routinize the entire process.
