Accomplish More by Integrating Five Daily Habits into Your Life

What five daily habits or activities would make a major positive impact in your life or career?

For PR professionals, no day is ever the same - and that is one of the reasons we love our jobs! But by integrating a few simple daily habits into your life, you will get more done, feel a sense of accomplishment and reach your goals quicker.

Examples of daily habits that some of my clients have integrated into their lives include: network with one person by phone or email, complete one major project before 10:00 a.m., drink six glasses of water, knock three things off the to-do list, outreach to one new reporter and do one act of kindess.

If you’d like to enhance your business and personal life with your own daily habits, here are the ground rules:

• Write them down and post them where they can be seen
• Be realistic about how many habits you can accomplish
• They should be something you can easily do every day
• Don’t beat yourself up if they don’t all get done (I have seven, but aim for five)
• They don’t have to be all about your career (making a habit to eat breakfast every day will inevitably help you be more focused at work)
• For each habit you come up with, you should be able to answer why it is important to you
• They can change over time, but stick with them long enough for them to truly become good habits
• Pat yourself on the back and acknowledge a job well done every day you complete all your daily habits

Namaste!
