Restarting a Habit
"Why did I stop?"- my question to myself
Couple of weeks ago I created a weekly plan on Sunday. I then created daily time and energy plans. At the end of the day I marked off the items I accomplished. Amazingly, most of my items got done and I felt very productive.I felt like my days flowed better.
Which brings me to my question to myself. I know how well my system worked for me in the past. So why did I stop?
Why?
I kept asking myself this last weekend and the only reason I can come up with is that I focused on new things in my life instead. I know that since I did my time energy planning routine for an extended time it had created a habit. BUT just like I was able to create a habit I broke the habit.
What this experience taught me is that maybe I need to go back to some of the habits that were effective for me that I have stopped doing. I need to review what worked for me before, test it if it is still effective, and if it is then re-teach myself the habit.
Today's question is:
"What old habit do you need to restart?"
