The purpose of this blog is accountability. I intend to keep a record of my struggles and success in getting into habits. I know that I thrive on routines and habits but also, because of my tendency to take on too much, I often let them slide.
The idea that it takes 28/30 days to make a habit really doesn't work for me. I can get into a habit quite quickly but then I can lose it or drop it months later for no apparent reason. Hopefully committing to just writing down how I've done on each of the habits I want to develop each day will let me so what works, what doesn't and why I give up a habit or manage to keep it.
I reckon I've read every book going on habits but I might revisit them and right down the top takeaways from each.
The first step is to decide which habits I want to develop. I'm going to start with The Miracle Morning from Hal Elrod. I know if I do my SAVERS every morning everything else goes better. Getting up at 5.00am is easy - that is a habit that has stuck. Doing my SAVERs - not so. It's lovely to get up at 5.00 and spend the time reading or doing cryptic crosswords - I love the me time. But SAVERS is more structured an useful.
So I'm going to do this blog as a 5-10 minute review of everyday before bed. But for now I'm off to do my SAVERS.
