Jerry Seinfeld was asked his advice on how someone could become a great comedian. He told them that the first thing they should do is get a big, wall calendar and hang it up.
Next thing you do is write jokes every day. Every day that you write jokes and get better at your craft, put a big, red X on that day. The idea is to start making a chain of these red Xs.
The secret to success is not breaking the chain.
Flip this around a little bit and you could do the same thing. Every day that you did something to move yourself closer to your goal, put the red X on the calendar. If you are like me and you love crossing items off your list, you will really love this technique.
Some examples could be:
-You prepped a couple of meals for the week on Sunday
-You worked out that day
-You got on your foam roller for 10 minutes
-You brought a healthy snack to work instead of going to the vending machine
