⚡ MC - You’re a Content Marketer, Not a Writer

Good Morning.

In the last few days, I was learning about building & sticking to work habits. Here is a good Reddit post sharing how to build habits.

.

Top 3 tips for building work habits

Remember, If you can't manage yourself, you can't manage your business!

1. Clear input goal

People usually don’t specifically know what they want to change.

They feel like they don’t achieve what they could achieve but they lack a clear vision.

My advice is to focus less on the Output (for example: make 10k USD a month, read 1 book a week)

But focus on the Input (for example; work 5 hours focused, meditate 30min. a day).

Focusing on the Input gives you clarity. You know what needs to get done.

2. Trigger

Every habit has a trigger. Positive but also negative habits.

Wasting time on Instagram has a trigger such as feeling bored, lonely, tired,…

Positive habits also need a trigger.

If you just tell yourself that you are going to work on your business today for 3 hours, there is no trigger.

You are probably going to procrastinate.

But

• working for 1 hour after waking up
• going for a run after work
• journaling after brushing your teeth

Makes it much more likely that you stick with it.

3. Preparatory habits

After using the 2 tips above, still there is a huge resistance to execution. Preparation helps to overcome it.

Prepare as much as you can the day before.

For example:

• Put out your sports clothes the night before
• Put the book on your bed
• In the evening, open already all the documents on your laptop that you need the next day
• Put your meditation seat at the right place

P.S. Earlier I experimented with it, and it worked. I did it by placing running shoes right under the bed. And I made the habit of running/jogging then.
