Daily Routine For You and Your Business

The purpose of a daily routine is to keep you in the habit of getting things accomplished efficiently. Having a routine helps you to start your day and pushes you when you fall behind in your personal or professional goals. Even if you don’t necessarily adhere to your day to day planning, keeping a detailed schedule gives you a feeling of making progress.

If you don’t know how to create a daily routine, start by breaking down the tasks you need to complete into several smaller goals. A lot of success comes from breaking it down into quarter, half, or full hour time slots. There are a plethora of free (or paid) apps that make this life maintenance much easier.

Twitter and Squarespace CEO, Jack Dorsey has a notably unique approach to successfully running two S&P 500 companies. He breaks his days down into small time slots and get this, he themes his days. By grouping up and dedicating different days to an overarching theme, Dorsey is able to use momentum to succeed tremendously in the business world.

4. Be Disciplined
   1. This is easier said than done. The 21 days in a row method is still disputed but only you can be the judge of when a habit is truly formed. Enjoy the honeymoon phase, push through the inevitable urge to stop, and get in the groove.
5. Partner Up If You Need To
   1. This is always useful if you have a reliable coworker, friend, or spouse. With support and accountability it becomes a much easier process to push through.
6. Get Back Up Again
   1. If you miss a day (or 4), that’s okay. Plenty of the most successful CEO’s, athletes, and icons have days where they felt discouraged.
