Highly successful people don’t rise to the top by behaving like everyone else. They understand that achieving great things means getting more done, taking excellent care of their bodies and thinking in ways which promote greatness. Here are the daily habits more than two dozen executives say helped them get where they are today.

1. Write everything down.

“I’ve found it’s really helpful just to write everything down. It lets you collect fun or creative ideas you have for later to revisit them at a later time. Even if a lot of the things you are writing down at the time don’t seem like good ideas, they may be a good inspiration or relevant later at a different time or context. Here quantity can lead to quality. If you are always writing down the ideas, some of them will turn out good.”

— Jeremy Keeshin, cofounder and CEO of CodeHS, an online platform to teach computer science in high schools and middle schools used by hundreds of thousands of students

2. Leverage worry and fear.
