Eat breakfast

Eating breakfast is the first step to a productive day. It boosts your metabolism, helps you avoid overeating later in the day, and kick-starts your brain. You’ll be less likely to skip lunch if you eat breakfast.

Start your day with exercise

Some people wake up and work out, others have a cup of coffee. One way or another, it’s what we do to start the day. If you want to be successful, you need to do something that makes you feel good and gets your blood pumping. One way to do that is through exercise. Not only does exercising release endorphins which can make you happier and more productive during the day, it also helps improve your resilience to stress. But don’t just take our word for it! Research shows that people who wake up with a workout are less stressed, healthier, and more positive than those who don’t.

Plan your day and prioritize your next steps

Take a few minutes at the beginning of each day to plan your day. Write down what you need to accomplish, and how long each task will take. Prioritize the list in order of importance, then take care of them one by one. You’ll find that as you get more adept at managing your time, you can complete tasks faster than before.

Write everyday

One of the most important habits of highly successful people is freewriting everyday. This doesn’t necessarily mean that they write a novel every day, but they do use writing as a tool to get clarity on their thoughts and ideas. Writing is one way to get clarity on your thoughts and ideas. It also provides you with an outlet for frustrations and complaints which can help improve your mood. And, of course, writing better helps you achieve your goals.

Ask yourself if it will matter in a day, week, month or year

A major component to success is being able to prioritize. Here’s a simple way to ask yourself if something you want to do will matter in a day, week, month or year: - If it matters in one day, then do it now. - If it matters in one week, then schedule it on your calendar. - If it matters in one month, then give yourself a deadline for when you need to have it completed. - If it will matter in one year, then write down the idea and revisit it next year.

Try meditation

Meditation is one of the 10 habits of highly successful people. It’s an activity to do in the morning or at night before bed. Meditation has been proven to: - Decrease anxiety - Increase focus and concentration - Improve memory and cognitive ability - Lower blood pressure - Reduce stress If you have a hard time quieting your thoughts, this might be a good habit for you. Meditation is about focusing on your breathing. If you're just starting out, it's not too hard to clear your mind for only 5 minutes before trying again with 10 minutes. Give it a try!

Keep a notebook and a to-do list

Successful people know the value of keeping an idea notebook and a to-do list. It’s good for remembering your goals, brainstorming for new ideas, and reminding you what needs completing on a day-to-day basis.

Exercise and take care of your health

See the potential in others

One of the key habits of highly successful people is that they look for the potential in other people. Your team has a lot of potential. And, you've seen it firsthand. But, there's always room to grow and improve. One way to do this is by considering how your team will be successful in the future and how they'll get there. Rather than looking at what they need to fix or change, think about their strengths and what you can do to help them succeed. Think about how they can grow with the right resources and support. The next time you're feeling discouraged with your team's progress, step back and consider what you can do to make them better--not just now, but for future success as well!

Reflect often

Reflecting on your day and the things you’ve done can be a great way to stay grounded in what you want to achieve. When you reflect, you might find that there are things that need to be changed or focused on more. You can also use this time to think about your goals for the future. Reflecting will help you stay motivated and keep working towards your goals, even if it feels like everything is against you.
