2) Find your keystone habit
It is the habit that gives you the confidence to fulfill other tasks.
Ask yourself:
“What’s the ONE thing I can do that will make everything else easier or unnecessary?”
It must naturally excite you and should be easy to execute.

Your keystone habit could be;
• Jogging
• 20 push-ups
• Reading a page
• Replying emails
• Making your bed
• 5-minute meditation
• Journaling and day-planning
Do it first thing in the morning and build on that momentum -
stack up small wins all day loooong.

3. Set up a trigger
This is something that will compel you to take action.
Sight trigger: When I see X, I’ll do Y
Location trigger: Whenever I’m at X, I’ll do Y
Time trigger: At X o’clock, I’ll do Y

4) Tweak your environment to work for you;
• Get out of your room as soon as you wake up
• Set up a personal workspace - declutter and remove distractions
• Print a picture of your goal and paste it on your wall.

5) Schedule Your Day
I prefer to organize my tasks in time windows (between the hours of X and X, I’ll do Y).
This keeps me flexible and less prone to procrastinating.
Keep experimenting and tweaking your schedule till you find your optimal work plan.
