Setting Up Small Daily Habits For Big Achievement

You’ve set your SMART Goals. You’ve listed out your action steps. You’ve decided on your top monthly priorities. Today, you’ll decide what small daily habits will help drive you forward to reach your annual goals.

Your habits are tiny action steps that become part of your daily routine. These daily habits should directly align with your bigger goals.

psst… this is another little peek at some of the stuff we’ve been working on in our Goals With Action group!

Do You Have 66 Days?

It takes up to 66 days for a habit to stick.

That’s a lot of days — but that’s because you’re setting up a ROUTINE.

In 66 days of doing something consistently, you can form a new HABIT that becomes second nature.

So how can we set habits into place and make sure we stick with the task long enough to create the habit?

CHOOSE YOUR HABITS

First, decide on the habits that will push you forward.

For example, if your goal is to get your inbox to zero, give yourself a daily habit to organize one day’s emails at the end of your work day. Eventually, that will become part of your normal work day routine — without thinking about it!

If your goal is to lose weight, your daily habit might include going to the gym each day at 4PM until that becomes a normal part of your life.

TRACK YOURSELF DAILY

Once you decide on your most important habits, track them daily.

I’m providing a Habit Tracker sheet for you too in this week’s free printable! 

Check it off daily and keep your tracker in a visible place. This holds you accountable — and tiny wins feel awesome!

REWARD YOURSELF!

Then, decide how you’ll reward yourself after you’ve hit your streak for a full week, then go for a month-long streak!

FREE PRINTABLE!

I’ve created a printable to help you hash out your daily routines, get clarity and set up a rewards system that works for you!

It also includes a daily habit tracker that you can print and mark off daily — because small wins feel AWESOME!
