Good Habits Aren't Hard to Find

I used to have a really bad habit of sitting on my couch with my laptop to work. I was easily distracted, was doing damage to my back, and just wasn't productive. 

I wanted to break that habit and create a new habit, so I went out and bought a chair so that I could sit at my desk instead (yeah, I know it's crazy that I had a desk and chose to sit on the couch). 

At first, I hated sitting in the chair, but I committed to sitting in the chair and working from my desk every day, even when I wanted so badly to go crawl on my couch with my laptop. Here's the crazy thing - after a few days, I actually wanted to sit at my desk. Studies have shown that it takes 66 days to form a habit, but I began to see the benefits to my decision almost immediately and I was hooked. I had become so much more productive, focused and alert. I was actually getting tasks accomplished in record time,and I even had more energy. 

Today, I look back and wonder what the hell I was thinking, but I'm proud that I was able to break a bad habit and create a good one.

As entrepreneurs, it's important that we create good habits, and here's how you can create good habits in our life:

1. Decide what habit you want to form and right it down. 
2. Decide how much time you can commit to working toward you goal everyday.
3. Block off time on your calendar and set an alarm to remind you to work on your new habit. 
4. Remove all distractions and work every day for a predetermined amount of days (until you reach 66 days), no matter what.  
5. Work on small chunks at first. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day.
6. Find accountability partners that you can work with to stay motivated and committed.
7. Don't beat yourself up if you fail here and there. Just pick up where you left off.
8. Reward yourself when you reach the milestone you previously set.
