“ Most people focus on the things they want to change about themselves and the actions they want to take, but that can be overwhelming. It’s actually easier to step into a new identity than it is to try to create new habits and behaviors in a vacuum.As you change your identity, your behaviors and habits change, too.”

Every day his alarm goes off and has his name World's Best Athlete, meaning he is trying to think like the best athletes and players and achieve his dreams. He is constantly striving to be the best in his chosen sport or gym, and constantly thinking about how he can improve.  This alarm is helping him achieve the best results in terms of health.

On his way home, he's turning off his third alarm. It's just a reminder that work is over and there are no more night shifts spent behind the computer. Now is the time for your family. Enjoy them as much as you can. Try to be present in those moments because your life can shift pretty quickly.

3 Alarms

This is a label of alarm which goes off in his work. The principle of this is same as in the first one. He is trying to give 100% at his work. Think like the best CEOs in the world.

World's Best CEO

“The more times you pause so you can respond optimally as the best version of yourself, the more you strengthen that optimal response pattern. It’s an antifragility rep in the gym of life, taking a stressor and using it to make you stronger. Just like strengthening muscle, the habit of inserting a pause will strengthen over time. This tiny pause can change your life, as it did mine.”

Just because things are hard doesn’t make them important or efficient. Make things as easy for yourself as you can.”

You do not really need three alarms to go off every particular time. What you do need are three key pillars of life:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Health</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Relationships</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Work</li></ul>Try to remind yourself every day what these three mean to you, and how you can fill them each and every day to 100%.
