Simple, boring, daily routines are how you get big results
|
Reader, Do you take the boring, everyday, mundane routines for granted? I did and never thought I'd miss my daily routines so much after a 2-week family vacation! Anticipating the trip was way more fun than when we were actually on the trip - never thought I'd say this. After 2 weeks of vacation time, I couldn't wait to get back to my boring, everyday routines! Many people think the success they want is found in the latest trend, strategy or hack. Or adding more to their plates. When actually, it's much simpler than that - it's about eliminating all non-essentials until you get plain, old, boring, routines. Showing up consistently over time for your key priorities is the key to getting the big results you want. My priorities for 2025 are:
The routines I have around these priorities are 90% the same as before. I've found it's repeating and iterating on the small, consistent actions that get you real results in the end. Plus, it makes it so much easier when you don't have to reinvent the wheel, add more to-do's or overcomplicate it. If you miss a day, just get back to it the next day. Simple. Here's how to set up your plain, old, boring routines that get results:

Reader, Work expands to fill the time you give it. That's Parkinson's Law. This past week, I tried giving myself 10 minutes to write my daily LinkedIn post in the mornings. It worked. It might be stressful to some, but it energized me, as I watched the timer counting down while I typed away. 10 minutes isn't a magic number - there's no research behind it. It's just what I could fit into an already early start at 4.30am after my morning routine. So now, my morning routine looks like this...
Reader, It's 9.17pm on Sunday as I'm writing this newsletter that I should have sent by 9am today. And I really didn't feel like doing this when it's almost my bedtime for an early morning start tomorrow at 4.45am. Then I remind myself - this effort is the work that's building my dream. One brick at a time. One email at a time. So here we are! Today's topic is about owning your story. Because your story has value. All the decisions you made, the actions you took, the ups and downs - they all...
Reader, Half of my week has been spent lying in bed, exhausted from what my doctor said was a particularly fierce, mutated flu virus that's been circulating. I hardly ever get sick. Whenever I do, I take it as a sign from the universe to slow down and rest because my default mode is to always be on the go. But it still didn't stop me from recording a podcast episode this week on the topic of showing up consistently! It might be my shortest episode yet (<10 minutes). Having the time to ponder...
