To Succeed at Anything, Make it Insanely Easy to Act On, Every Day.🛠️

People do not decide their futures, they decide their habits and their habits decided their futures.

- F M Alexander

We are creatures of habit.
And I know many of us don't realise how powerful a tool that is in our quest for meaning. Imagine if we consciously thought about every action we perform, even if we've done it a million times before, then we would be burnt-out, stressed-out zombies. Instead, our brains perform tasks through the subconscious part without us overthinking it.

A little Progress Everyday.

That means we can set up a habit programme to run without too much interference from our conscious thoughts. If you're like me, you want to be the best version of yourself, which requires you to set up the habits that will get you there. The habits you develop are going to be the most critical factors for you to achieve that. But how do you approach it?

For me, it's simple.
Get 1% better every day.
This is the closest thing to magic I know.
The concept I learned from the fabulous book Atomic Habits shows that just growing 1 per cent daily makes you 37.78x times better at the end of the year.
Wow!
So what habits can you develop that can move the needle daily on your growth?

While these habits may not be easy to install, they are, at their heart, straightforward. One of my MITs is writing every day. According to some bloggers, the popular opinion for professional writers is to have a daily word count between 500 and 3000. A daily word count is an excellent idea if you're a full-time writer, but that would not work for me. I have purposely not set a word count goal because I know it would be a point of contention and stress. And I don't produce my best work when I'm stressed. All I do is write as much as I can every day. Whether it's 50 words or 5000. My habit is easy to implement and works for me.
I have no excuses not to execute on it.

Whatever it is, you need to do gentle reader to make it as easy as possible to start; just do it. Consistency is more important than quantity in the beginning. Once it's become an ingrained action - a habit, you can begin to tweak it, make it more challenging if that's what is required.
Acquiring habits and using the power of compounding - one of the most potent forces in existence is a powerful combination. Do something small every single day, and success will become inevitable.
Imagine where you could be after a decade of small actions repeated daily.
Never underestimate the power of baby steps and tiny changes; they can hugely impact your life.

Be your own hero.
