Why do we need routines?

• Routine — A sequence of actions regularly followed; a fixed program. (Routines are systems).

• Routines win — The most successful people in history, the ones many refer to as “geniuses”, had one thing in
common: Most adhered to rigid and specific daily routines. Average with a routine beats smart without routine.

• The freedom myth — Most people believe having a rigid daily routine isn’t “living” and they prefer to have
freedom to do what they want, when they want. The problem is: Achieving goals requires planning, execution,
discipline and impulse control. People who do what they want when they want, do this at the cost of their goals.

• Freedom from constraints — Happiness, achievement, resourcefulness and creativity come from imposing
constraints on ourselves. If we want a $1m /year business, we need a plan and then take daily action. Impulses
will tempt us, we might not feel like it, friends wanna hang out, but achieving our goal is our ultimate freedom.

• Routines create talent and confidence — If you make a decision to do something, and you commit to taking
action towards it daily for however long it takes to complete it, you affirm not only your choice to begin, but your
ability to do it. This creates talent/skill and supreme self-confidence to tackle bigger things.
