As a human there is really only one non-rewnewable resource and that’s time.
If you’re following along I have a couple professional projects, a couple projects I’m writing about here ( #noloafingmoney and #noloafingloseit) and all the normal life stuff.
So how am I finding the time?
Well discipline and habits.
In fact as I’m going through my getting smaller project the first few months you are likely not going to see a lot of the typical scale victories; instead I’m setting the ground work of new habits.
December is an especially hard time to start new projects, there are so many things happening all at the same time, but I'm hoping this will help me keep it REALLY, REALLY small. That is one of the tips from James Clear.
If I learned anything from reading Atomic Habits by James Clear it’s that habits are a superpower. Trying to get everything done that you want to get done is hard, especailly if you have to always use mental energy to decide what to do next. For me that's where habits come in.
Instead of needing to think about what comes next, you do it, no thinking needed.
As part of my #noloafingloseit project I'm planning to finish off the year building a habit stack for the morning that will put me on the right foot for the rest of the day. I don't know what it will look like yet, but it will have some movement, protein and mindfulness for sure.
I'm also re-reading Atomic Habits to remind myself of some of the better tips that are in there. get myself in the right frame of mind to get all this done.
What are some habits that you have built recently that are helping you be the person you want to be?
