Looking for a list of good daily habits?
Curious how 8,000+ other people measure up?
You’re in the right place!
Here’s what you’ll find on this page…
You Are What You Repeatedly Do.
I’ve talked a lot about why good habits matter.
I’ve shown you EXACTLY how to build new habits into your daily routine.
I’ve summarized some of the best books on habits here, here and here.
But what I haven’t done yet is share the good daily habits I prioritize with my coaching clients. Or the results from the 8,000+ people (so far) that have finished my free productivity quiz.
The good news?
That’s exactly what you’ll find here today.
Healthy Habits => Healthy Outcomes
My goals for this article are simple:
- To give you a proven list of good habits you can work on; and
- To share a unique insight into which good and bad habits people struggle with.
Want more on how to build new habits into your daily routine?
Go check out this ultimate guide to habit tracking.
Or read some summaries of the best books on productivity ever written.
And in the meantime, let’s dive into the data and begin…
The List: 25 Good Daily Habits (& How 8,000+ People Measured Up.)
Sleep: 54% Get 7+ Hours of Sleep.
If there’s just ONE healthy habit you work on for the rest of this year, make it sleep.
You’ll find more information on sleep here (including why it matters and how to get more of it).
But for now, let me suggest that if you’re not getting AT LEAST 7-8 hours of sleep on a regular basis then you might as well give up on this list.
Building new habits is difficult. Breaking bad habits is even harder.
And attacking habit formation (or anything else) when you’re sleep deprived is pointless.
Conclusion? Follow the 54% of people who are setting themselves up for success…
