We are halfway through March and I still have so many things I want to accomplish and habits I want to develop before the new year. I never want to overwhelm myself when I’m trying to learn a new skill, start a new project, or incorporate a new habit into my lifestyle. I’ve learned that it’s always best to break things down into smaller tasks to keep the momentum going.
Here are 6 actions that have helped me stay consistent with a new habit:
- Focus on what I need/want to change
- Make a schedule using a physical planner or your phone
- Set daily reminders to alert you when it’s time to take action and manage your time
- Find an accountability partner
- Set yourself up to win by preparing in advance (i.e. meal prep or sleep with gym clothes so you don’t have to get dressed in the morning)
- Stay consistent with your new schedule for at least 21 days
I hope these tips work for you!
Yours Truly,
Yinka
