Create a System to Make Something a Habit

Okay, this is probably something you already know but you aren't doing it. One of the things that I find really interesting when I work with clients, is the things that work and have worked in the past are awesome, and then for some reason, we don't do them consistently. 

So, today is your reminder. One thing that came up in the last week with my clients and mastermind members, is have you heard of prepping the night before on the one, two, or three most important tasks for the day? Or starting on Sunday and prepping what those most important are for the week? Now, I know you know this. This is not rocket science, and when was the last time that you did it? 

So, instead of focusing on trying to do that,  Like you would have said, "Do or do not. There is no try." Instead of focusing on doing that, I want you to focus on creating a system that will make it a habit. So, for example, I specifically use The SELF Journal and I preplan my week every week. So I put everything in and I write it down manually because I use it every single day. Now whatever challenges I'm on, I actually write it in. It's kind of a pain in the butt, but it's really, really good for me to remember what I'm working on, like not eating after 8:30 pm. 

That's the one challenge that I'm working on for the next two weeks, just so you know. But, what I want you to be able to do is create whatever that system is. So, where do you write down your most important tasks? If you put it in Asana or a project management system, do you ignore it? Do you put it in your calendar and then ignore it? Figure out something that you can't ignore. One of the things that I actually did so I don't keep eating past 8:30 p.m. is I set my Amazon Echo to remind me. It's kind of annoying actually. At 8:30 it says, "Stop eating." So either way, the whole entire family knows I need to stop eating. 

So what can you do this week, whether it be in your business or in your personal life, that will make a huge difference so you're really paying attention to the most important tasks? The more we can do these most important tasks and knock those out, A: the better you feel, but B: the more you actually accomplish, and I know that feels amazing. I hope you have an amazing day!
