Onetime Actions That Lock In Good Habits
One of the most practical ways to automate good habits is to look for onetime choices that require a little bit of effort up front but create increasing value over time.
I’m fascinated by these single choices that can deliver returns again and again. Not long ago, I surveyed my readers on their favorite onetime actions that lead to better long-term habits.
Here are a few of the popular answers…
Nutrition: Use smaller plates to reduce caloric intake.
Sleep: Remove your television from your bedroom.
Productivity: Delete games and social media apps from your phone.
Focus: Permanently set your phone in Do Not Disturb mode.
Happiness: Get a dog.
Health: Buy better shoes to avoid back pain.
Finance: Call your service providers (cable, electric, etc.) and ask for a lower rate.
These onetime actions only require effort once and make it easier to get better sleep, eat healthy, be productive, save money, and generally live better.
See how simple it can be! Making changes for the better, doesn't have to be hard.
Try it today - choose one area you want to see improvement in, and find a simple solution that you can start soon.
Let me know how it goes!
