Your action plan is your roadmap. It helps you get the wheels in motion, and it steers you toward long-term success: consistent, intentional practice. This is your path to creating and sustaining healthy habits that fuel you to keep going.

Productivity is all about doing the right things and doing them well. It’s about moving forward in the direction that’s right for you.

Contrary to popular belief, productivity isn’t about how much you can do. It’s about whether or not you’re doing the right things—the things that matter to your work and to you. And that means starting small with what you know matters to you.

Avoid hyper-scheduling yourself so you have free time to do something creative or perhaps to do nothing at all.

In order to stick with it, you’ve got to choose something you actually want to do and that will work with your schedule and lifestyle.

Building healthy habits at work and otherwise starts with awareness. Know what you want, where you want to invest your energy, and why. The 'why' determines the 'how.

By clarifying your purpose or motivation...you’re more likely to build productive habits—and stick to them.

Review is essential to evaluation, which is essential to progress.

Meaningful, long-lasting change doesn’t happen overnight. Be patient with yourself, and know that the progress is in the process. Start by finding something you enjoy, and create space in your schedule to practice that thing each day. Make it a priority, and you will eventually make it a habit.
