In today's issue, I'm sharing three ideas to help you stick with better habits as we head deeper into January… “Nearly everything awesome takes long… - James Clear

Nearly everything awesome takes longer than you think.

Get started and don't worry about the clock.

The 2-step process for exceptional results:

1. Spend a little time each day thinking about the highest leverage activity available to you.
2. Spend a little time each day working on it.

Something my four-year-old told me recently:

“We need to be kind to the future.”

You can apply that to your own life and the world at large.

Whatever you're doing, do it well. If you're writing a thank you note, take an extra minute to mention something beyond the typical thank you. If you're exercising, do each set as well as you can. If you're in conversation, really listen and don't just wait for your turn to talk.

Having high standards adds up. You can nearly always find an extra minute to do it better. And most important, you prove to yourself that you're the type of person who does things well.
