The Daily Highlight (HIGHLIGHT)

The Daily Highlight (HIGHLIGHT)

Choose ONE important, needle-moving activity to be your highlight task of the day.

If you can only accomplish one thing today, it should be this.

Mile long to-do lists can be counter-intuitive.

Cut it down to what matters.

Create Distraction Barriers (LASER)

Create Distraction Barriers (LASER)

The more layers of separation between you and a distraction, the more likely you are to resist it.

  • Log out of social media accounts
  • Put your phone out of reach
  • Set screen times limits

Stop giving yourself the option of distraction.

Live Like a Caveman (ENERGIZE)

Live Like a Caveman (ENERGIZE)

We are historically hunter-gatherers:

  • Walk more
  • Eat less processed food
  • Add bursts of activity in your day

You don’t have to do HIIT every day and starve yourself to be more fit.

Focus on small, sustainable changes.

Trial and Error Daily (REFLECT)

Trial and Error Daily (REFLECT)

Effective change happens when we take time each day to reflect:

  • What worked?
  • What didn't?
  • What can I do differently tomorrow?

The systems in your life are like living things.

— Constantly growing and changing as you do.
