Develop Your System for Habit Scoring

Brendon TEST Burchard explains why habits matter more than personality traits for long-term success. He walks through habit tracking and the Growth Day app, then shows how to measure and improve your daily habits with a practical scoring system.
If you want long term success, well being and positive relationships, what matters more than any other thing in the entire world is your habits, not your personality. So for those who are like, I can't succeed because I'm an introvert, sorry, lots of extremely successful introverts, I can't do it because I'm an enneagram. 7, 4, 3, 2, 1. I'm like, sorry does not matter for long term success. They're not correlated. What I'd love for you to think about is like, okay, I need to chart this out. Bust up your journal and like, what are the 10 habits you're going to measure yourself on every day from now to the end of the year? Many people just don't succeed more because they never even found out where they're at. You know, it's like if you have a map and you don't know where you're at on the map, there's no way you can go to the destination. So where should you start tracking and measuring your habits over a period of time? Now, for a long time I just used the High Performance Planner and that helped me do it every single day. Now I use the Growth Day app because the high performance habits are in there. But these are habits like measuring every day whether or not I felt like I had clarity and I stayed focused, whether or not I had good energy habits, whether or not I was productive that day, whether or not I tried to be a role model or was influential that day, whether or not I did something outside my comfort zone and sought to be or live a bold or courageous life, helps me measure my diet, exercise or diet, movement, sleep and mood as well. Those are what we do in Growth Day. It's in the app, it's technologically enabled, it's awesome, it's convenient. If you don't have that, then what I want you to do is just write it out on a card. How are you going to measure your habits every day and what habits specifically? This is really critical. Please listen to this. Achieving long term success, it's really clear that the science shows is not related to your personality trait, your astrological charts, Sorry, I'm not dismissing that. I'm just saying the science over a period of time, it's not related to even your current income. It's not related to where you grew up, it's not related to your age, long term high performance, which is tied to external success, internal well being and positive relationships. Those three measures specifically we studied in 190 countries around the world with the High Performance Institute, University of Pennsylvania's Positive Psychology Department and researchers from UC Santa Barbara. If you want long term success, well being and positive relationships, what matters more than any other thing in the entire world is your habits, not your personality. So for those who are like, I can't succeed because I'm an introvert, sorry, lots of extremely successful introverts. I can't do it because I'm an enneagram. 74321. I'm like, sorry, does not matter for long term success. They're not correlated. They're cool to learn. Those are what are like strengthsfinder cool to learn. Those are tools for self awareness. They are not correlated with long term actual performance. Difference between self awareness and performance, right? Some people are very self aware but can't work themselves out of a brown paperback. You know what I'm saying? It's like there's a difference of knowing thyself and performing over long term in such a way you maintain positive life satisfaction and relationships. Because you and I both know somebody who works really hard and they're successful, but they wrecked all their relationships and their health. That's not high performance. High performance is long term success, well being and positive relationships.

Not just an idea, not just a hope, not a goal or an ambition. A routine that you are doing. And either it's an automatic one, it's easy, or it's a deliberate one, it's hard. And I really encourage you have your list. I'm just asking you measure yourself every day. And here's the thing, I know you're like but Brandon, I get discouraged when I'm doing that. Great. Read High performance habits and read the High five habit. And so when you don't feel like you're on your A game.
