The
secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine. – Mike Murdock
I like
having a routine, because everything else... is so unpredictable. - Jordana

A couple weeks ago, I had a meeting downtown that started at
10:15am. I knew I had to leave my
apartment at 9:15am to make sure I had adequate time to drive in wonderful
Austin traffic, find a parking spot and walk to the office of where the meeting
was. Since I was not going to my office
before the meeting, I worked from home.
While working, I watched the clock to make sure I had time to finish
getting ready and continued to do “one more thing”. As time ticked away and 9:15am got closer, I
started rushing because I realized I had not adequately planned. I made it to the meeting with plenty of time
to spare, but I do not like to rush.
Why was I rushing? My
morning routine was discombobulated. A
recent stat I heard said that our lives our 90% routine. On usual mornings, I have my normal routine
of waking up and doing my morning devotional, working out, showering, eating breakfast
and leaving for the office. When my
morning routine changes, it is often hard to make the flow of my day work.
As humans, we are creatures of habit. My challenge to you is to use this for your
benefit. Develop a routine that will
help you accomplish your goals. A Forbes
article I read said that the most successful people accomplish their five most
important daily tasks before 8am each morning.
Challenge: Last
week, you created a list of action steps to help you accomplish your goals and
dreams. Develop a routine to daily
accomplish those action steps early in the day.
I do better with
routines and predictability. I don't react well when there's a sudden change in
the schedule. - Gretchen Rubin
Success
is something you attract, by the person you become. - Jim Rohn
