The Six Uncommon Habits That Transformed My 2024
#5: Consistently taking messy, imperfection actions.
2024 was a strange year.
I officially sold my business but left with nothing 10 months later to travel the world. I gave up a multi-six-figure salary to do my own thing again.
Here are the habits that helped me survive.
#1: Daily story logging
I never run out of ideas.
How?
Every morning, I do a 10–15-minute reflection activity. I open up my Notion dashboard and log a sentence or two with events that happened the day before. I try to answer the who, what, when, where, and why.
This was hard at first.
Despite being a writer, recalling events from the day before was tough. I was relearning how to write. But this has been the #1 habit to help me maintain such a high content and writing output.
Even when I travel, I spend 10–15 minutes every morning journaling.
This habit functions as a form of mindfulness and productivity. I can process the events of the last 24 hours and either resolve them or give them closure. It helps me reset for the day and be present for the next 24 hours.
