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:

  • Health
  • Wealth
  • Relationships
  • Business

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:

  1. Identify your top 3-5 priorities - remember, not everything is a priority.
  2. Set up routines that ensure you make daily progress on these priorities.
  3. Track and evaluate that you're actually following through with your routines.
  4. Iterate and adjust accordingly to make sure your routines are getting results and work in real life.
  5. Deal with any resistance (e.g. procrastination, perfectionism, etc.) around following through with your routines.

$1k/month isn’t life-changing money. But it’s transformational. It’s proof that the skills and experience you already have are enough to start, without quitting your job, without burning out, without a five-year plan. New here? Start with the worksheet "What's your $1k skill?" Download it here.

Most people are taught to build their lives around one source of income. Go to school. Get a good job. Work hard. Stay loyal. And everything will work out. I believed that too. Then life taught me otherwise. My husband and I shut down a business and were left with a six-figure debt. I returned to corporate life to recover. Shortly after, I was laid off while I was the sole provider for my family. That experience changed how I think about work forever. Not because jobs are bad. I've spent...

And the next day, the doubts came almost immediately. What if it doesn’t work? What were you thinking? You could’ve used that money for the kids’ university. — This is something people don’t talk about enough.
