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.

Here's how to set up your plain, old, boring routines that get results:

What my weight taught me about money Last week I flew home from the UK just in time for my daughter's graduation. I'd spent two and a half weeks helping our son settle into university. Then I was back in Singapore, sitting in a school hall, watching my daughter cross the stage. At the graduation, we bumped into a teacher who had taught both my kids. My husband and I noticed straight away how well he looked. He'd been making changes to his eating for health reasons over the past year. We asked...
I imagined this vision of the farm What a quiet morning in the UK showed me about looking back, and why I stopped waiting for a job to look after me. I'm writing this from a hotel in the UK. This week's podcast was recorded in the hotel bathroom. It was the only quiet room. My son was out in the room on his laptop with his friends, and I had about 15 minutes. That's what this season looks like. He starts university next week. My younger one starts next year. Before the city, we spent a few...
Four months ago, I did the math on sending both our kids to university in the UK. It would be about $200,000 a year, for three or four years. I had no idea how we would do it. Today, I'm writing this from the UK. I'm here helping my son settle in to his first year of university. I'll tell you how it came together in a moment. But first, what I noticed along the way. $30,000 is not always $30,000 Think about $30,000 of debt. Now think about $30,000 landing in your account as a bonus or as...
