Do the same thing, daily. Pick a daily schedule, and never change it.
Me
I recently met up with a good friend of mine. We ate lunch in old town Temecula.
I asked my friend out to lunch because I had a question for him. It’s a question about improvement. A current interest of mine.
The question I wanted to ask him was, how to best execute the question: what do I want to get better at? A few days prior, I came up with this question during a journaling session. I was journaling to figure out how best to spend my time each day. The logic went, if I knew what I want to get better at, I will know how to spend my time.
We sat down for lunch at a Texas themed bbq restaurant. I had a burger and my friend had a taco salad. After we ordered, we discussed the question. We had a great conversation about getting better. I loved it. We talked about planning, scheduling, execution, and feedback. But ultimately, we talked about focusing on the things we want to get better at, and how to allocate time every day to work on it.
Our lunch concluded when the check reached our table. We said our good-byes and went back to our lives.
Later that day, I got to work on a schedule. Focused around the question, what do I want to get better at.
After a few hours, I came up with a daily schedule. This schedule is unique to me. But is a good template to help you create your own. Below you can download a pdf copy of this schedule.
If I follow this schedule, I will get good at it. And I will get good at the things I plug into these slots. That is how you get good at something. Trust in the improvement process. Trust in the daily routine. If you stay with something, be uncomfortable, and work at it every day. Improvement will always follow.
Now I ask you, what do you want to get better at?
