What are the habits you need to practice to increase your productivity<\/a> and by doing that, your potential<\/a>? Let’s look at some of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sleep for 8 hours\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poor sleep quality affects negatively every capability of the body. Don’t neglect sleep. Also, a\u00a0one-hour\u00a0nap during the day can be helpful to cope with a bad night’s sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make your bed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you wake up in the morning and you leave your bed in a mess, you become your own enemy. A made bed is the key to productivity: this simple task gives you a boost. Getting the covers right is the first thing you can do in a day and therefore very important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drink more water\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up to 60% of your body is water \u2013 staying hydrated is vital. Drink a glass or two of water first thing in the morning to replace fluids you\u2019ve lost overnight. Drinking 2-3 litter water every day will also make you more alert and energize you for the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay in shape\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aim for 30 minutes a day \u2013 mix in light, moderate and intense workouts throughout the week. The best results come from consistency, so choose to exercise in a way you can sustain over months and years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put your phone down\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mornings, after work, and weekends are the time to spend working on yourself and with your family. Don\u2019t be a slave to every buzz on your phone or watch \u2013 stay in the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practice gratitude\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write down one or two things you\u2019re grateful for each morning. You\u2019ll be flooded with positive emotions, and it helps promote an abundance mindset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start your day by doing the most important task<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your mental power is at its peak during the morning, which can help execute a difficult task. Also, by doing so, the less important task becomes easier to perform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stop multitasking\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Humans can’t fully focus on 2 things at once. By multitasking, you divide your attention into multiple\u00a0tasks, which makes it harder to focus on one thing\u00a0and, it makes it hard to complete the actual task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid distraction during work time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Distractions are productivity\u00a0killers;\u00a0they prevent you from completing tasks and make them stressful and more difficult than they appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monitor your habits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monitoring your habits increases the chances of performing a behavior, whether it’s a productive habit or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work smarter rather than\u00a0harder<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If working hard was the key to success, everyone would be successful. In our opinion, people should work harder in a smarter way rather than trying to work hard in a direction that leads nowhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meditate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a calm and relaxed state of mind, people can perform better and sharpen their focus. Meditation leads to that state of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do hard shit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t matter what it is. A cold shower, a difficult workout, writing, etc. force yourself to face and work through adversity. Discipline is a muscle you train with experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stop chasing happiness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happiness is a response to an outcome \u2013 a fleeting feeling in the moment. When you get it you get it, you immediately raise the bar. What you have isn\u2019t good enough for long. Aim for joy instead. Find joy in the process \u2013 the outcome doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Define success for yourself\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t get caught up chasing money, fame, or job titles that society celebrates as success. Figure out what\u2019s important to you \u2013 define what success looks like, it’ll change over time. Avoid people and things that don\u2019t help reach your goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t dwell on the past\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone makes mistakes \u2013 own them and move on. Don\u2019t let guilt or regret steal from your future. Turn the page and get busy writing the next chapter of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn to relax\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try the 4-7-8 breathing method. It’s easier than meditation and will help you relax and reduce stress. Aim to do it 2-4 times a day \u2013 before bed is also a good time (many people who use the 4-7-8 method fall asleep in under a minute)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow the 20-5-3 rule\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use it to ensure you spend enough time in nature. 20 minutes in a park or tree-lined street, 3 times per week 5 hours in a semi-natural environment (e.g. a state park) each month 3 days off the grid in nature, camping or renting a cabin every year<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll outgrow some friends\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you get older, look for friends who; \u2022 help you reach your goals \u2022 discuss ideas, not people \u2022 talk about investing \u2022 stay positive Some of your friends will desperately cling to their youth. That\u2019s fine, you don\u2019t need to be around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t eat shit forever\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eating a low-nutrient, calorie-dense diet is fine when you\u2019re an energetic kid with a fast metabolism. But as you age you\u2019ll pay the price by stacking on unwanted weight. Focus on eating more whole foods, you\u2019ll look and feel better as you age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be selective about your partner\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t apologize for being picky, your partner is the biggest decision you\u2019ll make. Choose someone who is interesting and challenges you. Picking the wrong person will not only cause you heartache, but you will also have bad mental health and it may also be a financial pain \u2013 all can be avoided by not settling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drop your ego\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your ego protects you in the short term but limits your long-term potential. Ego doesn’t let you ask for help or get feedback from others. You get stuck in your comfort zone not making forward progress. Humility will take you further in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travel\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, travel costs money\u2014in return, you\u2019ll get a lifetime of experience and memories. Visit new places, try strange foods and immerse yourself in different cultures. Get out of your comfort zone. Travel is one thing you spend money on that you won\u2019t regret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
