We continue our Dadly Daily Declaration series with insights drawn from Robin Sharma‘s newest book, The 5 AM Club: Own Your Morning, Elevate Your Life.
Our declarations around the The 10 Tactics of Lifelong Genius contained with this tome center on the Fourth tactic: The Daily 5 Concept. Sharma posits that “the most effective business leaders are at their productive peak on the days when, even if they’ve faced some serious setbacks, they’ve actively engaged their mindset on the progress they’ve made. In so doing, they’ve inoculated themselves from the self-sabotaging influence of the brain’s negativity bias.”
- During the second pocket of your Victory Hour, list the five tiny targets you wish to accomplish over the day ahead for you to feel it was one well-spent. This is also a practice: the more you do it, the easier this habit gets—and the stronger your execution ability around it grows.
- Stay with the process.
- After just thirty days, you’ll have accomplished 150 valuable victories.
- And after a year, this strategy alone will be responsible for you achieving 1,825 high-value targets, guaranteeing that the next twelve months are the single most productive twelve months you’ve had yet.
That fourth tactic leads us to today’s Dadly Daily Declaration:
One of the great keys to terrific performance is to train your attention on making consistent 1% wins and micro-achievements throughout each hour of your workday. Small daily achievements, when done consistently over time, definitely do lead to stunning results. And by deliberately reflecting on the areas where you are moving ahead, you’ll insulate your ambition, guard your confidence and defeat the dangerous trickster of fear, so you get amazing feats done.
