Here is today’s Game and what’s going on.
Here is what I discovered today in our Dadly Daily Declaration reading from The Perfect Day Formula by Craig Ballantyne.
The title of today’s reading is “Put the Big Three Into Place..” Let’s jump in with a few highlights first:
- Your morning rituals and routines establish your success. Here’s the plan you must have in place:
- Get up fifteen minutes earlier starting tomorrow.
- Know your number one priority and go to work on it immediately.
- Use your rules to create rituals and routines to overcome obstacles, eliminate temptation, and end procrastination in your life.
- Replace bad habits with new good ones.
- Get to bed on time.
- Out of those steps, the one that gives you the most leverage and bang-for-your-buck is to create rules. Start small. Here are the three most important rules you need to create for your life:
- State what time you go to bed and get up every day.
- Write down the number one action step you will take each morning that moves you closer to your big goals and dreams. It could be work, it could be writing, it could be exercise.
- Create a Simple Health Plan. Do you need to meditate, exercise, eat better, or sleep more? In your health rule, state what you don’t eat (so that you find it easier to avoid food temptations), when you go to bed, when you meditate or pray, or when and how you exercise.
Those gems lead us to today’s Dadly Daily Declaration:
Identify the habits that you need to have in place to support your rules. Those are the solutions that will help you stick to your rules and you should add these to your daily schedule.
Once you have those in place and have spent a few weeks perfecting your morning system, take your rules to the next level. Create rules for how you will control your schedule, how you will deal with emails, phone calls, and meetings, how you will limit vices and temptations, and how you will deal with others and the stress they bring to your life.
