Creating Daily Habits for Success

In today’s episode, Jody and Meghan discuss the importance of creating daily habits that will help lead you to success. To see where you spend the most time, try out this exercise:

• For 48 hours, document everything you do.
  • In a journal, write down the activity you perform (even as simple as brushing your teeth), how long it takes you to complete it, and how it makes you feel.
  • After the 48 hours is up, take a look at what you spend the most time doing and evaluate how it makes you feel.
  • Are you wasting your time on something that does not benefit you? If so, think about a habit that you can replace this time-waster with.
• If you prefer, take it a step further and give each activity a dollar value. If it is not benefiting you, or you do not see any value in it, label it $0. You cannot have a negative amount. This helps you look at your habits more objectively. The habits with the highest dollar value are the habits that you should lean into. Time is money, after all.

Organize your day to win by prioritizing the daily habits that will advance your pursuit of success, and be consistent in maintaining these daily habits. Before you know it, the routine will become so natural that you can look at adding new habits or changing your current habits to fit your needs. There is no such thing as an “overnight success.” It takes time, effort, and commitment to be successful, and success is something that you continuously pursue.

Find your three most important habits, commit to completing them every single day for at least 30 days, and see what a difference they make in your life.
