Daily Routines - small simple bites to achieve the goals we set

by Chance Smith

Making progress every single day. To look back 90 days and see a good record of effort and a ton of work done, that would be awesome!

After reading “The Compound Effect” by Darren Hardy (a must read), it was clear that I needed to be more consistent with my actions for reaching the goals I had set. With this new year I want to reach my goals. I want to stay focused. I want this to be the best year yet.

Focus…that means I need to keep my goals front of mind. I need to review them. I need a system.

I needed to stop drifting and to stop being so drivin.

Wrap up

My overarching goals are to: read more 📚, share progress 🎤, more fit 💪, and more focused 👀.

I was able to make these routines by listing out the items I wanted to make progress on everyday.
