14 Daily habits of successful people
Do you want to be successful?
Becoming successful takes years of hard work and making good decisions.
Apart from skills, intelligence and opportunities, there are good habits that can make a difference.
Successful people have many different daily habits, but here are 14 daily habits of successful
people, which they all have in common: No1: They start the day early
One of the first things you can learn from successful people is getting up early.
For example, Apple CEO Tim Cook starts his mornings at 3:45 a.m.
Most of the successful people get up at least 2 or 3 hours before their workday starts so
they could do several important things that they have planned before they even start their
work.
They say that this simple habit gives them confidence and a great sense of control over
their life.
If you adopt this habit, you will see great improvements in your daily routine.
Waking up early gives you more time to tackle the important tasks of the day.
If you cross something off your to-do list early in the morning, it will make you more
motivated and energized for the rest of your day.
No2: They have a morning routine Successful people pay attention to their morning
routines and find them very important for managing everything they need in a day.
Accomplished people like Oprah Winfrey, Mark Cuban, and Arianna Huffington have morning
routines that they believe help them stay active and focused.
Their routines differ, but the common thing is that they have one.
Some people exercise first thing in the morning, then shower and have a healthy breakfast.
Some have a coffee and read the news while others meditate.
Whatever your routine is, the fact is that it is very useful to have one.
Creating a morning routine is very important to a successful life.
It will help you to stay on top of your schedule and gives you ample time to focus on your
goals and accomplish everything with more energy and strength.
No3: They love to read Think of someone you know who is successful,
wealthy, smart, and hard-working.
Chances are they spend a lot of time reading.
Researches show that successful people spend on average about 30 minutes a day reading.
Self-made billionaire Warren Buffet says that reading is the most important habit he developed
and Bill gates still reads a new book every week.
Adopting the habit of reading may help you improve your memory and ability to focus on
important tasks.
Reading can also help you become more educated and informed, which is crucial for becoming
more successful.
No4: They disconnect from technology as much as possible
Although this may sound wrong, successful people actually try to unplug as much as possible.
They have learned that unplugging can be very fruitful because it improves creativity and
allows better use of time.
For instance, the Brooklyn Nets owner, Mikhail Prokhorov doesn’t use a computer because
he thinks it provides too much information that is impossible to filter.
Unplugging helps you live in the moment and do your best work.
If you try to disconnect from technology as much as you can, you will experience fewer
unhealthy feelings such as jealousy, envy, and loneliness.
It will also help your brain do its best because
it is not engaged in social media and multitasking.
No5: They exercise daily Many interviews and studies have found that
almost all successful people have a regular exercise routine.
Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook works out at least 3 days per week.
Barack Obama exercises 45 minutes a day, 6 days a week.
Whether it’s running, tennis, or going to the gym regularly, these highly successful
people clearly prioritize incorporating exercise into their busy schedules and they usually
do it early in the morning.
They understand that exercise is the key to improving mental and physical abilities to
give their best and push themselves further.
Exercising daily can make you feel happier, due to hormonal activity.
It can help you lose weight and look your best.
It is also great for increasing energy levels and reducing the risk of various chronic diseases.
No6: They have a hobby The most successful people know that there
is more to life than working.
Despite their busy schedules, successful people find it important to have a hobby.
Meryl Streep knits, Kate Middleton colors the adult coloring books and George W. Bush
paints.
Busy people often engage in hobbies to blow off steam and have some fun after days or
weeks of hard work.
Hobbies offer an opportunity to take a break.
They also break up your usual routine and challenge you in new ways, different from
your challenges at work.
Having a hobby improves your physical health; it decreases blood pressure and it is associated
with lower levels of depression.
In addition, psychologists state that the more you engage in creative activities, the
better you’ll do at work.
No7: They tackle the hardest projects first It sounds dreadful, but, as we can learn from
successful people, it gives the best results to do the hardest things first.
John Furneaux, CEO of Hive says that his favorite productivity tip is to “eat the frog”
first thing in the day.
As Mark Twain said, “Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will
happen to you the rest of the day”.
A “frog” is that off-putting thing you have to do but you are not motivated to do
it at all.
If you do as successful people do and just eat that frog first, you will see more than
one benefit.
It will get you going and motivate you to do other things on your schedule that day.
Crossing that off your list makes you feel lighter and better immediately and makes room
for the more pleasant things to happen later in the day.
No8: They plan the day night before Successful people make sure that they have
written their to-do lists for the next day before they go to bed because that helps them
clear their minds and have an idea of the important things they need to do the next
day.
Kenneth Chenault, the former CEO of American Express, writes down three things he wants
to accomplish the next day.
Planning your day the night before helps you get prepared and makes your days a lot less
stressful.
Having plans also allows you to evaluate your work and your ability to stay – or not – on
schedule.
Planning is the key to time management.
You can hardly feel organized and on top of things if you're unprepared for what is coming.
No9: They avoid wasting time You know how people always say that “time
is money”?
But, successful people know that is not true.
Time is more important than money because you can always get more money.
As Benjamin Franklin said.
“Do you love life?
Then do not squander time, for that’s the stuff life is made of.”
Successful people have many things in common, but there is one principle they hold above
many others: they avoid wasting time.
It is not only a matter of time.
They see their energy as limited, as well as their time, and they are not willing to
see either of them go to waste.
If you start living by this principle, you may want to consider the time you spend on
pointless, mindless social media browsing.
Avoiding such time-wasters can help you become more focused and productive, do more of your
work for less time and then have more time to enjoy.
No10: They practice gratitude This habit may not be something that you would
expect successful people to do daily, but accomplished people like Oprah Winfrey, Sir
Richard Branson, and Tim Ferriss all say that they take a few minutes every day to be grateful
for everything in their lives.
They say this is one simple thing that makes a big difference between failure and success.
Practicing gratitude daily helps you stay in the present, because when you appreciate
what you have now, you will be less focused on worrying about what will happen tomorrow
or regret what you have lost yesterday.
If you are grateful for what you have, you will spot new opportunities for success easier.
Studies also show that practicing gratitude makes you healthier and makes your brain function
better.
No11: They get sufficient sleep There are some stories about how successful
people usually have just a few hours of sleep each night.
But, it seems to be closer to the truth that the majority of them get at least 6 hours
and that they tend to do so by going to bed earlier.
Elon Musk, for example, gets 6 hours and Ellen DeGeneres around 8 hours of sleep per night.
Although their sleep habits vary, successful people in general tend to have enough sleep.
It seems that people who get enough sleep are more successful, focused and happy.
Sleep is crucial for good health, both physical and mental.
Getting enough sleep helps you function better because it enables your body to repair, be
fit, and ready for another day.
No12: They take care of their health Successful people are aware that their health
is very important because they realize that there can be no success without having good
health.
They take care of their health by maintaining a well-balanced diet and exercising regularly
so that they remain fit and energetic and accomplish whatever they want.
We already discussed the habit of exercising regularly, which is very important to successful
people like Barack Obama and Richard Branson.
Accomplished people pay attention to their eating and drinking habits as well.
Jennifer Lopez and Pharrell Williams for example don’t drink alcohol at all.
Jerry Seinfeld, and the late Kobe Bryant swear by daily meditation for remaining healthy,
keeping their energy levels, and general positivity.
Start taking care of your health and become more energized and less stressed, it will
help you accomplish anything you want.
No13: They catch up on current events There are only so many hours and minutes in
a day, but you’ll always find successful people like Bill Gates dedicating at least
part of theirs to current events and emphasizing the importance of being well-informed.
They subscribe to reputable newspapers to learn everything they need to know about important
events worldwide.
They also listen to the radio and podcasts and talk to others about the goings on in
the world.
Successful people believe that, if you’re going to make a meaningful contribution to
society and the world, you can’t live in a bubble, dissociated and unaware of the important
events.
Keeping up with current events can enrich your life and teach you so much about the
world.
No14: They make family a priority Many truly successful people have achieved
greatness without forsaking their families and private lives.
Some of the most accomplished celebrities like Jennifer Garner, Salma Hayek, and Chris
O’Donnell state that their families will always come first.
Some researchers of successful people found that one of the keys to success is putting
your family first.
Putting your job ahead of the family creates conflicts and dissatisfaction.
Worrying about family conflicts makes it very difficult to focus on workplace tasks and
makes you less productive.
It is important to create harmony between business and personal life.
Not only does this reduce stress, but it is also an important source of life satisfaction
and strength that enables you to accomplish all the great things you want.
After discussing all of these habits, one thing is evident.
Success is not something that you are born with or something that entirely depends upon
chance or good luck.
It is something that can be achieved if we adopt the right habits.
So, adopt these habits of successful people and take the first step towards a successful
life.
