“The top 3 percent have clear, written goals and plans that they work on every day. They know exactly who they are, what they want, and where they are going. They have a blueprint, a road map, that guides them faster and with ever-greater accuracy toward achieving the health, happiness, wealth, and prosperity that most people strive for all of their lives. As a result of having clear, written goals, they waste far less time than the average person. People with written goals and plans earn and accumulate, on average, ten times as much as other people with the same levels of intelligence and education…Setting goals, making plans, and organizing your life around the things you really want to do and have are the greatest time management tools of all.”

“Every minute you spend in planning will save you as many as ten minutes in execution. It takes only 10-12 minutes for you to plan your entire day. But you will get back two hours of productive time, 120 minutes, just by planning your work before you begin. That is more than a 1,000 percent return on energy.”

“Founders of wildly successful businesses are, almost always, among the most disciplined people you’ll ever meet. There is no “gene” for this. Discipline is not something you inherit from your parents. What separates top performers from everyone else… is they choose to design their lives in such a way that following through on their goals becomes automatic. They install habits, routines, and systems which allow them to execute consistently with minimal friction.”

“One of the most profound benefits of organizing your life into daily routines is that it’s much easier to reach your goals. Because when you predetermine which routines will enable you to reach your goals, success is as simple as doing things at the same times each day.”

“The key to becoming world-class in your endeavors is to build your performance around world-class routines. It can be difficult, even futile, to predict or control what will show up in the middle of your workday. But you can almost always control how your day starts and ends.”

“Some of our best intentions fail because we don’t have a system of execution. When it comes down to it, your new attitudes and behaviors must be incorporated into your monthly, weekly, and daily routines to affect any real, positive change. A routine is something you do every day without fail, so that eventually, like brushing your teeth or putting on your seatbelt, you do it without conscious thought. These routines ease life’s stresses by making our actions automatic and effective. To reach new goals and develop new habits, it’s necessary to create new routines to support your objective. The greater the challenge, the more rigorous our routines need to be….A daily routine built on good habits and disciplines separates the most successful among us from everyone else.”

“Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement. The same way that money multiplies through compound interest, the effects of your habits multiply as you repeat them. They seem to make little difference on any given day and yet the impact they deliver over the months and years can be enormous. It is only when looking back two, five, or perhaps ten years later that the value of good habits and the cost of bad ones becomes strikingly apparent.”
- From Atomic Habits by James Clear

“Making a choice that is 1 percent better or 1 percent worse seems insignificant in the moment, but over the span of moments that make up a lifetime these choices determine the difference between who you are and who you could be. Success is the product of daily habits- -not once-in-a-lifetime transformations.”
