If you want to develop better habits, or stop unhelpful habits, you will make it easier for yourself and more likely to succeed if you track your habits daily.

Find Common Ground
It’s good to find common ground when you are speaking with others. That’s why we look for common relationships, geographies, schools and other meaningful connections.
Keep them in mind. It’s a great thing to do.

Why We Compete?
Competition is innate in the human species. We compete for resources, mates, abundance and pride.
In the modern world we compete in sports and less so, military conflicts. We compete for mates still and jobs.
Winning feels good.
Companies compete. Or at least the stakeholders/employees compete.
Philosophy is becoming more competitive too. Some people want to win you over to their side. They are not happy hearing the diversity of thought. They simply want you to agree with, and adopt, their point of view.
Unlike the sportsmanship seen at sporting events, where they shake hands at the end, there seems to be less of that with opposing points of view in the modern world.
We can remain competitive and try to influence people’s point of view but we might want to be more sportsmanlike, regardless of win, lose or draw.

Naps
I love a nap now and then. 5 minutes or 15. Sometimes 2 hours. They can be awesome. Rejuvenating. Energising.
Having a nap to recharge your batteries can be a great idea. Amazing how well they work.
Sitting in a chair, lying down on a sofa or even on a floor, sometimes you’re so in need, anywhere will do!

Take A Break
You probably deserve one.

Conversations Change Lives
One conversation with a person who thinks differently in some way to you, can change your whole life.
One idea can spark a whole new direction. Get around people who can challenge your thoughts and open your mind.

Take Another Step Forward
No matter how tough life gets, take another step forward each day. Make that your number one habit.

Be Prepared
Often we know about events, occasions and opportunities well in advance. You know, like Christmas, birthdays, annual reviews, monthly investing, etc.
So let’s not leave these things to the last minute. Get your documents ready, prepare your mind, get cards and gifts sent off early. This is a great way to reduce stress. Surf the tsunami of stuff in your life. But also reduce the amount you are committing to. You are not super human or expected to be.
But when you know something happens every year at the same time, be prepared, well in advance. Then you can have that calm, smug feeling of being ahead of the game.

Always Allow Extra Time
Whether you’re driving to work, heading on holiday, or preparing for exams or presentations, always allow extra time.
You’ll feel more confident. And it will allow for unexpected things to happen and keep your plans intact.

The World Is Your Oyster
There are so many opportunities in this world. And if you have a phone and access to the internet, you are on your way.
You can learn anything, become skilled in anything and achieve anything.
You can connect with anyone more easily than ever before. You can build businesses with that phone. No huge capital requirement either.
If you’re mildly interested in becoming successful, there has never been a better time for you to try. Give people what they want or need and the world is your oyster.
