Success comes from habits-part 2

The habits you create either make your life easier or harder.  If you want a successful family life and chiropractic office, but you have a habit of sleeping in, your success is going to be limited.  You can sleep in and hit the snooze button day after day, but don’t expect to get much more accomplished than you did the last month, or the last year you had that same habit.

On the other hand, if you get yourself in the habit of rising early with a predetermined plan for the day that relates to your goals and objectives in life, you are likely to accomplish your goals in record time.  Then, if you are in the habit of creating new goals immediately after accomplishing your old goals, and again, plan what you are going to do with every day according to the goals you have laid out, you are likely to accomplish more in your lifetime then you ever thought possible.

Make it a habit to write a list of the top 6 things you are going to do tomorrow in relation to the goals and objectives you’ve laid out for your life and number them in order of importance from 1 to 6.  The next day, after you’ve had your quiet time, begin with number 1.  As you continue throughout the day, keep your list nearby and refer to it, checking off those you’ve already done and seeing what important things remain. 

If you don’t get all 6 things done that day, they go back on your list for the following day, but their order of importance gets moved up.  Remember this list needs to be directly related to your goals.  It is not merely a schedule of your day or a “to do” list and there should be variety in it.  It should not be the same thing day after day.  That is more or less your schedule.

If you’re not willing to get out of bed early consistently and have a predetermined plan for the day based on your specific goals and objectives that you put action behind, you will likely continue to struggle in reaching your goals if they are high level goals.  Decide what you need to do to make this happen if this is a weak area for you in your life.  Perhaps you need to create an accountability partner.
