Habits

Today is the 4th day of my waking up at 5 am experiment and also the first one where I was allowed to sleep more. As I said, every thursday I’m allowed to sleep more because I usually go to bed late on wednesday morning. Last night I went to bed at around 11.40 but I managed to get up naturally at 7.30 am this morning anyway, 15 minutes before I had set the alarm clock, which was very nice. The interesting… Read more

This is the first update to my waking up at 5 am experiment. I think the firsts days are important in order to make an habit, so here we go…. Read more

If there’s one thing I always hear about becoming successful is the importance of getting up early in the morning. And I know this to be true, because when I get up early, I can get much more done and I have much more energy during the day. Until now, I used to get up between 6 am and 7 am, depending on the days. Based on my experience until today, I’m more productive in the first hours of the day,… Read more

This is a short update to my planning habit I started two months ago. Today is the last day and I believe I’ve come up with a super simple yet powerful method. As I said earlier, in the last 30 days I tried to improve my existing system because I felt it was unproductive for me to have a big list of projects and tasks as a todo list. After trying both paper and software solutions, I decided to stick… Read more

It has been one month since I started my planning habit. Today I feel like I have more planning abilities but I know I can do more, so I am extending this month to another 30 days to have the time to practice other things. I’m going to talk about these things later on this post, but first let me give you a solid update on what I’ve learnt. First, I managed to move all my projects and tasks to a new… Read more

Today is the last day of my previous collect and process habit. I learned a lot of things during this previous month because I was able to collect and start a lot of new tasks that were inside my head. Continuing with my habit list, the next item I want to master is the planning habit. Planning is an essential skill to master once you have all your items collected and processed, so I think this is… Read more

One week ago I started a new habit called collect and process. While it is passed only one week, I think I’m already starting to see interesting results and valuable tips to share with you. First, I want to tell you that my initial plan of carrying a block note with me all the times failed miserably. Instead I’ve found that I only need my Ipod Touch and its free notes program to keep track of what… Read more

I recently read Leo Babauta’s book Zen to Done (ZTD). Zen to Done is a book about getting things done where he describe a simple yet solid framework for organizing our life and achieving results. He have done an incredible work over the past few years with his blog and he is widely recognized as an expert in the productivity field. What’s interesting in his book is that he describe a list of habits… Read more
