The Key To Building An Effective Daily Routine

If you’re not at where you want to be in life, chances are you need a new daily routine.

What do Tim Ferris Barack Obama, Ben Franklin, and Winston Churchill have in common?

They all have a daily routine.

And it’s not only them — nearly every successful person you’ve heard of has a routine.

There’s no doubting why…Daily routines are are key to having a productive life. Do you want to increase your happiness, health, and the quality of your work?

Start with a daily routine.

Now, I’m going to take a wild guess.

I’m going to tell you that you already have a daily routine, too.

You wake up in the morning and go to the kitchen to make yourself some coffee. You get dressed, go to work, come home, and scroll through Facebook…again (let’s admit it, you did that at work too). You watch some Netflix, and you go to sleep.

It’s your daily routine. It may not be a good one, but it’s a daily routine, nonetheless.

And it’s time you change it.

Your daily routine can make you or break you. So, it’s about time you ditch the old one and build a routine that takes you closer to where you want to be.

One day at a time.

What’s the difference between a routine and a habit?

This is an important question you need to address if you’re serious about building an effective daily routine.

A habit is an activity you do without giving it a second thought. Like brushing your teeth in the morning or eating ice cream while watching TV.

A routine, on the other hand, is a group of habits you do consecutively. You usually do them in that order because it makes sense. For instance, you might exercise in the morning then take a shower. If you do it the other way around, you’re all sweaty for the rest of the day. It just makes more sense that way.
