How do you set yourself up for success?

1. Start the night before Give yourself a good bed time so you will get up at the time you want the next day. Getting up at the same time everyday helps a lot too (according to sleep expert Matt Walker ).  Watch from Start to 6:39 here for more information. 2. Habit stack your goals Every time I get up, I'll drink half a litre of water. Then I'll go for a wee and get back into bed to do a meditation. When I get up at 7.30 a.m., I am more likely to meditate too. It comes as part of a habit stack. If I don't (get up early), I often don't meditate because I have to rush for the next appointment. Actually looking at it this way is kinda cool. When I do one, I'll do both. If I don't, I'll do none.  Starting is difficult. Every single day, I can sit down and study. But I don't. When you have a thousand and one things to do other than studying, sitting down to open Chrome to open up a tab is difficult. But I never regret listening to a few minutes of Alan Sharp...

Time block it!

If you don't time block it or put it in your calendar, it'll probably be forgotten. That's what happened to me. Said I'll do something.  Clean forgotten about it. Only now do I remember because I looked at my calendar and I have set an appointment with this person. And there's something I need to do. Taking time now to go and get it done. To me: Time block it.  Put it in your calendar!
