Habits

This week I have slowed down the work pace which has given me more time to think and reflect. New ideas pop up and I’ve taken a lot of notes.

I have always had a desire to create and produce but it’s nice to look back on the time elapsed. Get perspective on things I’ve done and think about what you …

If like me you have habits you want to change, I know an app that can help you.

Leo Babauta and Tim Ferris discuss if goals is good or bad for us as individuals.

Leo think that the problem with goals is that it’s the end point, if we pursue a goal, and regardless of what we learned from it, or how much fun we had on the road, we feel that we have failed anyway and move forward.

A few months ago I started with some new habits.

You can read about them here: Good Habits

The routines

• Go to bed in reasonable time (before 11pm)
• No social media before 8am or after 10pm

I have another blog where I’ve written quite continuously for more than four years. Yesterday I was looking through the posts and came up with an interesting insight.

Common to most of the post I’ve written in the blog is that they are all about me and my personal development. It is a blog about …

There’s so much distraction, so much we want to do, some things that have been putting off that would have been done yesterday. So much to catch over the weekend. It’s hard to focus because of all the distractions.

Got spontaneous the idea to take the bike to the office today. Really nice! Great with variety and to come of the congestion and the stress on the subway. A bit cold though.

This is post #22 in my blog challenge and here I am, still at it.

But I need to review how and when I write. This week there has been a lot of late nights and it doesn’t work for me to write late, I’m just too tired to write after 11 o’clock in the evening. My brain is pretty dull then, it is not at …

This post is about blogging and to publish often. I want, as I’ve mentioned before, get better at writing and expressing myself. Get into the habit of writing a few hundred words about the thoughts in my head, reflections and lessons learned.

“Meditate for 2 minutes every day” is one of the habits I wrote that I would start with two months ago. That didn’t happen. But I did it a long time and basically until a few days before Christmas. Then there was a lot of work, changed routines and suddenly I stopped completely.

They say that the first step is the hardest.

The first step is scary, you start with nothing, no history.

But the first step is crucial. You have big goals and dreams you want to achieve and accomplish. But you will not get there unless you take the first step. So you take it.

I’m trying to create some new habits in my daily life and thought I should share them here. The purpose is to learn myself how I best create a new habit, how I start and how I get continuity in the new habit. I have started in a small way and a maximum of two new routines simultaneously.

When I thinking back on the most successful things I managed to carry out, all have one thing in common. They have started small.

Take baby steps.

It sounds easy and obvious. I’ve always had big goals and often fight with my own ambitions in everything I do and I don’t think I’m alone. Right?
