Hi George,
Daniel Scocco here, and this is the Daily Blog Tips newsletter.
The premise: many studies and researches found that successful
people tend to have more habits (positive habits, mind you) when
compared to average people. That's because habits add consistency
and discipline to your professional and personal life, traits that
are essential to reaching your goals.
Examples of positive habits one can have:
-Exercising for 30 minutes every morning
-Meditating before going to sleep
-Remembering and using the first name of everyone, on every
interaction
-Learning a new foreign language every couple of years
-Settings goals for the day every morning
-Reading a technical book for 30 minutes every morning
Cool, but how do we go about developing those habits?
The best strategy I have seen so far is this one: at the beginning
of every month you will sit down and decide on which habit you want
to develop over the next 30 days. It can also be a bad habit that
you want to get rid of (e.g., smoking or eating junk food). After
that you commit yourself to stick to the habits for those 30 days.
Once the month is over you may decide to halt it, but most people
find that 30 days is enough to get the habit rooted inside you, so
most of them will stay.
For some habits I find that 30 days is not enough, so in those
cases I commit to sticking to the play for 60 days at least, which
seems to do the trick.
Matt Cutts, head of web spam at Google, is a big fan of this
strategy. In fact if you visit his blog you'll notice a category
titled "30 days". There you'll find all his posts about the
different habits he pursued in the past.
The month is almost over, so which habit will you develop over the
next 30 days?
Talk to you next week,
Daniel Scocco
