What is one habit I hope to establish in 2022?
Candidates
- Sleeping early + getting up early
- Reading a book a month
- ✅ Exercising and/or spending time in nature 140 minutes a week (~20 min/day) - Chosen! Guidelines to keep in mind:
- Make it obvious
- Make it attractive
- Make it easy
- Make it immediately satisfying
How I plan on establishing this habit:
- Making the cues obvious + reducing the friction needed for me to get movin’
- Always have my basketball and jump rope lying around where I can see them
- Make clothes/shoes/socks easily accessible so I can get out of bed and leave my room/apartment/house
- Make it attractive
- I get to listen to an audiobook or music while exercising
- Make it immediately satisfying
- Mocha cappuccino flavored protein powder is seriously the best flavor out there y’all
- Other strategies
- Never bring laptop into bedroom (will decrease chances of me watching Netflix there and just lying/sitting on my bed for long periods doing nothing)
What is another habit I hope to establish in 2022?
- Reading 1 book a month (or, at least, reading 8 books total in 2022)
How I plan on establishing this habit:
- Listen to audiobooks!
- Reasons
- I can listen to books on the go, and I spend a fair amount of time commuting or doing tasks (e.g. washing the dishes, exercising) that don’t require my full attention
- Paperback books are much more expensive, and I need to set aside dedicated time to read them. I also move around a lot, and physical books can be a hassle to transport. Hence why I’ve been reading a grand total of zeeero books.
- The biggest advantage of audiobooks is it will make reading much more accessible and convenient, and it is a cheaper alternative to physical books.
- Audiobooks will aid me on my path to becoming a reader - someone who regularly reads
