You probably have heard all about daily habits and how they can change your life but there
are habits out there that don't need to be done everyday, yet they can have a big impact.
This video will cover 7 weekly habits to do to help increase your chances of success.
To be clear, a weekly habit doesn't need to be done exactly once a week because you can
do more or less but once a week is a solid estimate to start with because all these habits
are good to do on a regular basis.
1.
Plan out the week ahead.
This is a nice weekly habit that will make the rest of your week flow a lot more smoothly.
You ideally figure out what your priorities are for the week and try to schedule when
those tasks need to be completed.
If you know what you need to do and how your week will look like, it's easier to focus
on your work and you will be less stressed.
You won’t have to waste time figuring out what you need to do during the week because
you already did it before the week started.
2.
Check your finances.
For those who are too lazy to budget, tracking your spending can be as effective as a budget.
When you figure out where all your money is going, it becomes a lot easier to save more
money.
You know where everything is going so you can spot out unnecessary purchases and prevent
yourself from buying the same thing again.
Even if you are in a good spot financially, checking your finances will help you spot
if your credit card has been stolen by noticing transactions that aren't yours.
3.
Find an existing process in your life to improve.
I am a big believer in the idea that there is always room for improvement.
Even if it is just by a little, by continually making small improvements, the process will
be easier and maybe even more enjoyable.
No matter what occupation you are in, you are bound to do certain tasks a lot.
If you can find small tweaks to change and improve, you will start seeing better results.
One small tweak may not change much but when you make multiple, the effect will stack and
you will notice a big difference.
4.
Do a big clean of a room or area.
This might be a given for some people but I have to mention it.
By doing a weekly clean, it's easier to keep the room or area clean long term because the
mess won't pile up.
Cleaning up a small mess is much easier than dealing with a huge mess.
Also, by cleaning, you don't have to deal with clutter so you can focus on the things
that matter.
If you don't clean that often, your perception of messy will keep changing until you finally
realize how your room or area is a complete mess and needs a complete makeover.
Cleaning may not be fun but you are doing yourself a huge favor in the long run.
5.
Review the past week.
You basically ask yourself how the past week went, what you accomplished, what went right,
and what went wrong.
While you can think through everything, I suggest writing or typing it down because
it can help you think more clearly and you will have notes to refer to.
A weekly review is there to give yourself credit for what you did and to find what you
need to fix or areas to work on.
It also helps you make sure you are still on track to achieve your goals or if change
is needed.
This simple self reflection will help you be a lot better in the upcoming week.
6.
Set aside an hour for yourself.
It's not just introverts that need alone time.
Extroverts can use some time disconnected from the world.
We are often busy doing stuff and being around people that we might not have alone time to
take care of ourselves.
Being alone helps give your brain time to unwind and recharge.
You can do a wide range of activities during that set hour from going for a walk, journaling,
meditating, drawing, writing, or even just listening to music.
7.
Pick out outfits for the week.
If fashion is not that important to you and you don’t want to spontaneously choose your
outfits, this habit can save you time and decision fatigue.
Your morning routine each day will be faster if you already picked the outfit of the day
ahead of time.
