2011 Habits
There is a lot going on this year, but there is always opportunity to develop good habits. Aristotle is quoted saying “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.” I’m using an iPhone app called “Streaks” (ht: Chad Wright)to help keep track of some daily habits I’m trying to form.
The first months’s results are in. And although there are big holes, I know that setting the goal has helped me accomplish more than I would have without setting the goal. And since family life is solid, my job is going well, and I’m still maintaining a 4.0 GPA in school, I won’t beat myself up about missed days.
The goals I have set are: (1) Waking up at 5 AM. Ambitious, but that extra time allows me to do so much more. (2) Read my Bible daily. I’m using the YouVersion app on my iPhone. (3) Pray. As simple as it sounds, a concerted effort and focused time to pray about all the things on my heart is a big deal. (4) Exercise. No, not P90X this time. I’m just doing whatever I can fit in for the day.
That looks fantastic honey! :) I love it
Good-you’re doing the 2 most important things the most!
wow thank you for sharing this! I’ll check this app out, but this seems right up my alley. Awesome post I think this will help me a ton. I can relate to you
