You can go to hell without moving an inch, just focus on what you lack. You can taste heaven without leaving earth, just rejoice in what you have. - James Clear

It only takes five minutes to break the cycle.

Five minutes of exercise and you are back on the path. Five minutes of writing and the manuscript is moving forward again. Five minutes of conversation and the relationship is restored.

It doesn't take much to feel good again.

If you'd like to get better at saying no, try this:

Keep a list of things you say no to. Whenever you ignore a distraction or turn down an opportunity, add it to the list. As the list grows, you begin to feel a sense of accomplishment for your ability to say no and remain focused on what matters.

Turn each no into an achievement.

Habits that have a high rate of return in life:

– sleeping 8+ hours each day<br/>– lifting weights 3x week<br/>– going for a walk each day<br/>– saving at least 10 percent of your income<br/>– reading every day<br/>– drinking more water and less of everything else<br/>– leaving your phone in another room while you work
