Research shows that our motivation is driven by a sense of accomplishment. Writing down achievements, even if they were small, reminds us that we moved closer to our goals each day.
It’s important to be reminded of all the good things we have in life and the progress we have made. It’s what keeps us getting up early, staying out of our inbox, and having our best days ever.
When you begin a daily practice of appreciating your fortunate life, you’ll develop a more positive attitude, you’ll overcome obstacles more easily, and you’ll eliminate much of the stress in your life.
What NOT to Do On a Perfect Day
.h2
Важно избавлятся от всего шума и выборов уводящих от целей.
You must make a list of not-to-do items so that you do not succumb to temptation in the morning when your willpower and discipline are strongest.
В текущее время тотального шума очень важно иметь чеклист того что НЕ делать
Avoiding the wrong things, as Warren Buffett said, is just as important as taking action on your big priorities in life.
You can win your days when you plan ahead—not only for what to do right but also for what to avoid.
Eliminating temptations may require going to extremes as you break free from your addictions. Such is the level of effort required to get free of bad habits. Once you do, your rules and newly developed automatic actions will take over to protect you and help you make the right decisions.
How to Beat Procrastination
.h2
Почему я прокрастинирую, почему я не делаю то что нужно? Не хочу или не могу?

Всегда важно соизмерять то что ты говоришь себе или другим с тем что ты делаешь!
You must do the right planning, take the right actions, make the right decisions, and eliminate the wrong obstacles that tempt you into wrong behaviors.

The 2nd Pillar: Professional Accountability, or the Power of a Pro
.h2
We all need a coach.
A coach not only teaches us what to do, but holds us accountable for doing it. And that might be the most important role of all. You need professional accountability. You need to be constantly checking in with someone who can give you expert feedback and guide you to making better choices, building better habits, and getting better results.
“While we teach, we learn,” said the Roman philosopher Seneca.
The big lesson is that if you want to improve yourself, then you MUST become a teacher and mentor to more people.
“Show your character and commitment through your actions,” Epictetus said.
The 3rd Pillar: Social Support, or How to Harness the Power of Other People
.h2
“Be careful whom you associate with,” Epictetus warned.
“It is human to imitate the habits of those with whom we interact. We inadvertently adopt their interests, their opinions, their values, and their habit of interpreting events. Though many people mean well, they can just the same have a deleterious influence on you because they are undisciplined about what is worthy and what isn’t.”
“You either become like your companions,” Epictetus said, “or you bring them over to your own ways. Great is the danger, so be circumspect on entering into personal associations, even and especially light-hearted ones. We often end up being carried along by the crowd. Choose your associations with care.”
The 4th Pillar: An Incentive, or Treat Yourself to Big Victories
.h2
The ability to delay gratification is not something that you must be born with, but it’s a powerful habit you can build.
we sacrifice future success for immediate pleasure.
