A Routine is a sequence of actions regularly followed; a fixed program. A lot of us focus on the goal/goal setting but one of the easiest way to get your goals achieved is to have systems and daily routines. As Aristotle said: “We are what we repeatedly do, excellence then is not an act but a habit.” How you do anything is how you do everything, you get rewarded in public for what you repeatedly do in private.
In his book, Million Dollar Habits: 10 Simple Steps to Getting Everything You Want, Author and speaker Robert Ringer, writes about the power of daily routines and habits:
- Remember, life is nothing more than the sum total of many successful years;
- a successful year is nothing more than the sum total of many successful months;
- a successful month is nothing more than the sum total of many successful weeks;
- a successful week is nothing more than the sum total of many successful days.
- That’s why practicing successful habits day in and day out is the most certain way to win over the long term
