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.

If you want help doing this, book a coaching call with me.

Reader, Nobody ever has spare cash or time lying around. But when it matters, somehow you find it. Like signing your kids up for activities they want, buying your loved ones a fancy birthday dinner, or in my case, investing in myself and my dream business. Last night, I finally dropped $3k on a program I've been thinking about doing for the past 2 years. Each time I had wanted to do it, it felt like too much money - money I didn't have. This time, it isn't that I have the money - of course...

Hi Reader, I ended up the breadwinner, and started a business on the side of my job out of necessity. I had a 6-figure business debt, school going kids to support, my husband wasn't able to work, and I to leave an untenable work situation meaning we had no income. Sounds dramatic, and it definitely caused a lot of stress and anxiety at the time. But that was also when I decided that I was going to get smart about money because nobody was coming to save me I also realized that being in a...

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...
