Insight:‍​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‍

One of the most underrated keys to success (and well-being) is the ability to build routines.‍​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‍

Not just habits, but structured recurring check-ins: weekly, monthly, quarterly.‍​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‍

Without a routine, even the best advice from self-help books ("reflect regularly", "journal daily") quickly fades away.‍​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‍

Process:‍​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‍

Create a weekly and monthly "Routines slot" in your calendar.‍​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‍

Whenever you start a new project or personal goal, add it into these recurring "Routines slots".‍​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‍

Use these check-ins to track, reflect, adjust and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.‍​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‍

This transforms vague intentions into concrete actions.‍​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‍

Reflection, learning and growth become inevitable, because they’re now scheduled.‍​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‍

Call to Action:‍​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‍

🗓 From this week, block 30 minutes for your first weekly "Routine Slot".‍​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‍

📌 Add a "Routine Slot" to your calendar, starting next month.‍​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‍

Follow-up Action:‍​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‍

Next time you want to build a new habit or follow a new idea, don’t just start, -> schedule it into your "Routine pool".‍​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‍

That’s how you make it stick.‍​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‍
