The key to success is to have an optimal system and a consistent daily routine.

But:

It’s your job to figure out which one tunes to your needs and decide on an optimal routine. So here you go:

Making changes in your routines and including productive habits can be the start to a new life.

Now.

If you want these habits to stick, a very important tool that helps you be organized with your routines and systems is having a Journal.

Are you ready for a challenge?

Say, for only 30 days…

If you are serious about your goals, I want to put a bit more emphasis on starting a journal.

Please believe me! The best time to start a journal is “Now”.

Why?

Because 70% of our lives are spent in sleep, consuming food, having sex and other distracting digital media.

If you are a woman, you spend nearly 1 year deciding what to wear. And if you are a man, statistics say that you spend 1 year of your life staring at women! 🙂

We have very less time, no matter what you think. It’s not worth wasting your time on anything else other than what really matters.

Start your journal today!
