Blog: Improve your daily habits with the Richuals tracker!
Sally has been doing everything right. She works hard, has a positive outlook towards life and work, is creative and embraces change when required.
In spite of all this she has been plagued by a sense of dissatisfaction. She felt she was not being productive enough in comparison to the quantum of effort put in.
There was a gap between effort and results; where she wished to be in terms of her goals and achievements felt faraway always.
It was difficult to really figure out what she has been doing wrong. She was like a headless chicken running from project to project. Sometimes moving to a new one while leaving the previous one incomplete as deadlines got stiffer.
I can imagine many of you nodding your heads vigorously in agreement identifying yourself with Sally’s struggle!
What do you think is the cause of Sally’s woes?
Simply put it’s a lack of planning. Of not scheduling work systematically. It is not enough to work hard, it’s more important to work smart. Excitement and constant adrenaline are not what one should look for. The real great challenge to be embraced is routine. Routine doesn’t sound exciting, but that’s the only way one can achieve goals in a timely manner. And what makes a routine count?
All our routines are composed of rituals. Small to big, significant to silly. But they are the cues for a successful habit formation. Habits support routine. So, it is these rituals that make you get into a meaningful routine at work place.
You can have a methodical plan for every hour of the day at work. You can break down your goals into bite sized doable chunks and track your progress, and alter them if required. Inculcating this habit will be the key to productivity. This could make your life and Sally’s life way productive and give you a sense of control.
We realize the importance of rituals in daily routine, in habit formation and ultimately productivity. These are rituals that make your life richer and hence Mr. Brad Sugars named it ‘Rich’uals. Recognizing this need we bring to you a very useful download this month called Richuals Tracker…
Use this “Richual” tracker to track new habits you want to create but also the habits you want to leave behind.
