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.

We'll chat for 30 minutes and you'll walk away with -

  • Clarity about your key priorities
  • Simple routines that support them
  • Remove any resistance around keeping to your routines

Let's make 2025 a year of small, consistent actions that get big results by the end of the year.

Reader, 2 days ago, our bathroom door lock stopped working. You know that moment when you turn the thumbturn and... nothing? It just spins uselessly. The door won't lock. My first instinct was to call the locksmith. But something I read recently stopped me. If you're on Justin Welsh's Saturday Solopreneur newsletter, you might have seen his recent story about replacing a special lightbulb in his water filtration system. At first glance, it's just a home maintenance story. But the real lesson...

Reader, Yesterday someone asked me for my advice on how she could fulfil her dream of hiking China's untouched mountains while working her 9-5. We looked at all the possible and feasible options. Eventually, we worked out a plan that she'll be proposing to her manager. In the course of our conversation, she revealed what motivated her to fulfil her dream and live her life differently than before. For many people, it's often a wake-up call that our time here is limited before we realize it's...

If you’re feeling exhausted, discouraged, or disillusioned right now, you’re not failing, you’re in a growth season. Career and business momentum doesn’t disappear because you’re tired. It disappears when exhaustion turns into self-doubt and quiet withdrawal. Momentum isn’t built by doing more. It’s built by staying connected to who you’re becoming, even in low-energy seasons.
