Micro Habits To Change Your Life and mindset

what are the principles that I based this plan on:

1-make it simple, easy and clear so, i(you) can easily follow through with it without mental drama

2-think of who you want to be in each area

In life, career, a specific area of life….identify that person first

eg. you want to be a healthy person, to get in shape, to be a successful YouTuber, to be money-savvy..

3-write the process/the plan to become that, also, the outcome and goal from the activities

eg, drink water, work out daily, steps to selling your products…etc

eg, Outcome: lose fat and gain muscle mass, financially responsible…etc

4-choose what to do(the habits /activities/tasks) from the previous plan

4-varying the actions/activities/habits that you do from ones about getting back to things you dropped that are important to new things you want to do

What to focus on

What you want to change, it can be a behaviour or an identity or an area of your life that’s been bothering you or isn’t where you want to be

Use that in the next step-by-step guide, insert it where it is appropriate,

And don’t skip the identity if you want to change a behavior; instead, think about what behavior you want instead, and what identity the person who does it has

no matter where you start on the steps, still do all of them

practical steps to take

Grab a pen and paper or open text-based software and begin typing

1-Identify who you want to be in life, career, health, finances, side projects, any area of your life, and in general

2-think of the outcome and the goal based on the identity

3-think of what that person would do(what habits, daily small action /activities/ tasks that person do)

3-choose 2-4 things to do in each category and identity

5-plan how you are going to implement it in the day-to-day

Here is a practical example of how to implement the previous steps

The outcome: to stop consuming a lot of content, whether for fun or learning, and to consume in moderation and a limited time frame

actions/habits to be that:

How? The entertaining type>>>> limit the amount and determine the time when to do it

It’s included in the information diet below

for information type>>>> follow the low-information diet by Tim Ferris, which consists of

1-go on an immediate one-week media fast

No blogs, audiobooks, podcasts, YouTube, online magazines, news websites or videos, books, tv shows, aka Netflix or any streaming services, web serving, YouTube, or social media scrolling unless it is absolutely necessary for work

The exception is: music which you can listen to all the time, 1h of TV shows each night, 1h of fiction reading before bed and one nonfiction

2-Develop the habit of asking yourself: Will I definitely use this information for something immediate and important?

Because the information is useless if you don’t apply it. Learn the information when it’s going to be useful for you now not in the future if it’s in the future, do it then

3-practice the art of non-finishing

Stop reading, watching, and listening to anything that is boring or unproductive
