"What's measured, improves."

In this thread we talk about habits.

Three weeks ago, I set up a graph on a piece of graph paper to track my four most important daily habits. If I did it that day, I would mark doing so on a line graph. The four most important habits I decided upon three weeks ago were as follows...

1) Sleep 8+ hours each night.
2) Workout with pre packed post workout meal/shake in my cooler.
3) Work.
4) Write down a to do list for each day.

Here's the thing. IT'S WORKING. I know it's only been three weeks, but whenever I've tried to implement healthy habits in the past, I haven't stuck to them longer than a week or two. I don't know what it is but extending each of those little lines at the end of the day is satisfying for me.

So here's my question, what habits do you think are the healthiest/most beneficial to your existence? I'm flirting with the idea of adding a fifth line since this seems to be working so well. What say you?

Interesting. According to this graph I actually do display a lot of habits of the wealthy:

- I always have to-do lists going
- I network (not sure if 5+ hours a day but I'm not even really sure what that means)
- Read 30 minutes or more a day on average
- I exercise exactly 4 days a week
- I definitely fit the bill for junk food calories
- I'm even below where the wealthy are for amount of TV watched
- I fit under every part of the set goals graph

I do agree that a lot of these things are very important. I'm not overly wealthy, but I'm only 24.

Do reading Union VGF post count? LOL

I do not obsessed to be wealthy, but I would like to improve my efficiency, & more cash is always good not matter.

I think I need to start a to do list.

I think it should lol.

As for to-do lists, I don't have one for each day, but I always have them going for any projects I'm working on be it at school (when I was in school), work, or my own projects at home. It helps you stay motivated and gives satisfaction just being able to cross things off of it.

I always delivered at work. That's not the issue. I have to do list for work, & so far, I hardly ever missed my deadlines, & some of these deadlines were pretty tight, but I am well worth my pay grade, at the minimal. Haha.

Issue for me is personal life. The lack of discipline that I used to have, but I am slowly improving. When I give myself a deadline, I hardly manage to meet it, but the funny thing is, when it was given by someone else, I will somehow manage to perform within time, even if the event/task is not critical.

My next do to list is to master UE4. That's not a to do list right?. Well I will break down the things to learn & made it a to do list then.

That also explain why I keep active & post (not so often to be honest) on the UnionVGF developers thread.

I agree with this. Have to break things down into manageable chunks or you're just setting yourself up to fail.
