As a strong believer in personal development, I realize that I will never be perfect. Despite this, a big part of the fun in life is working towards making yourself a better person. If you don’t do that, what else is there?
In order to make yourself a better person, knowing which traits you’d like to eventually have is essential. Maybe you’re a smoker, but you’d like to eventually quit. Maybe you’re skinny, and want to add 10lbs of muscle to your frame. Regardless of your personal development strategy, knowing what to work towards is mandatory.
Over the past year, I’ve come to realize the importance of having positive habits, and how building a series of habits into your daily schedule is one of the best ways to make long term, sustainable change.
As my life goals are still undefined, my current focus is on building a repertoire of habits and skills so that over time, I’ll gradually become the person I’d like to be, with as little friction as possible.
For the past few days I’ve been trying to enumerate the skills I want to have, and the life I want to live. After a lot of thought and personal debate, I’ve narrowed my ideal life down to the following 24 hour snapshot. My thought is that if I’m able to spend each day doing the things below, I’ll be both happy and wildly productive throughout my life.
