160: How To Build Daily Habits That Will Improve Your Life w/ Ryan Koral

Season #1 Episode #160

Have you ever reached the end of your workday and wondered if you even accomplished anything? I bet it’s not an uncommon feeling. That’s why I am joining you today to talk about how daily habits have improved my life and how they can help you too.

When first developing a routine, it may be difficult to notice its impact. However, at some point, you’ll notice that it has paid off in a big way. That’s why it’s crucial to be both patient and consistent with your new habits. I’ve certainly noticed this with my morning ritual and the processes I established at work.

Furthermore, having a set process that other people can learn from has allowed me to delegate important work to my team members. This permits me to spend less energy worrying about the minutiae of work. Now I can focus on the big picture instead. It has even given me the freedom to take every Friday off.

So that you can start benefiting from habit building, I share useful strategies and tools that you can use to start owning your day. This involves dedicating a particular day to establishing processes, using organizational tools, creating a morning routine, and working on your business instead of in your business.

Have you experienced the benefits of a daily routine? Let’s talk about it in the comments on the episode page!
