10 Daily Habits with Post-Its

After a recent call about achieving goals with my coach, she shared a couple exercises around “10 Daily Habits” and I really like the intent behind them:

“Daily Habits are small constructive actions done on a routine basis. These actions can quickly give you a sense of accomplishment and forward momentum. These daily habits form a foundation upon which major change takes place. What action, if taken on a regular basis, would make a difference for you in one of the areas [important to you in] life?”

Using this premise, I wrote up some post-its to stick to my door to help me keep track — and put in a very visible place I can’t ignore — of what I have or haven’t accomplished for the day. The left “To Do” side is a list of post-its with things to tackle and once I’ve completed one, I can check it off by moving it to the right “Done” side. Then at the end of the day, all I do is swap the “To Do” and “Done” post-its to start over for the next day.
