Creating Daily Habits

Watch on YouTube

I have been highly motivated in 2017.  I have many goals I want to accomplish.  I realised I needed a daily routine in order to get everything done.

I started off setting alarms for everything in my to-do list.  Ranging from:

• 6am – Wake Up
• 6.30am – Pack Work Out Gear
• 7am – Pack Lunch
• 7.30am – Journal
• 6pm – Work Out
• 7pm – Write
• 9pm – Read
• 9.30pm – Ready for Bed
• 3pm (Sunday Only) – Meal Prep

I had these alarms going off everyday for a month.  As time went on, I started doing these tasks before the alarm prompted me.  They had become habits!

As I showed in a previous blog, I started a habit tracker.  This is good for at the end of the month to see if you actually stuck to your routine or not.  Personally, I could see I fell off the wagon on weekends.

I tracked:

• Writing
• Twitter
• Reading
• Cooking
• Cleaning
• Laundry
• Exercise
• Water Intake
• Coffee Intake

I plan ahead using my happiness planner.  If you have been following along – you’ve already seen this plug!  I use colour coordination so at a glance I can see my to-do list for:

• Writing
• Friends & Family
• Exercise & Self-Care
• The Day Job

I now have an air-tight schedule/routine and I am accomplishing my tasks on a daily, weekly, monthly basis.
