Cassandra Aarssen (author of The Declutter Challenge) provides her expertise and resources for breaking messy old habits.
I’m determined to end 2021 a better person than I was at the beginning of 2021. There isn’t one drastic thing I hope to change about myself, I would just like to be a little bit healthier and a little bit happier (and maybe a tad bit more productive too).”Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today”.
― Jordan B. Peterson
My favourite book on productivity is Atomic Habits my James Clear. This book changed the way I think about goal setting. Instead of focusing on huge tasks I want to accomplish, or the big things I want to change about myself, I now focus on tiny habits I can add to my everyday life. Atomic Habits.
I’ve created a FIVE WEEK HABIT challenge for myself, and I that you join me! I’ll be adding just one new small habit to my day, stacking a new habit each week for five weeks total.
What new habits would you like to start? Instead of having a huge goal like “I want to eat healthy and workout everyday”, why not create a new Atomic Habit like “I will eat a piece of fruit or a vegetable each day” or “I will walk for 10 minutes every weekday”.
If you want to be a tidy and organized person, a great small daily habit could be “I will tidy for 5 minutes each night before bed” or “I will declutter one small item from my home each day”.
The secret to success is creating a new habit that you can slowly build upon. These habits should be so small, they hardly seem like effort to achieve them!
