After you build a habit, add structure by scheduling specific times. Schedule workout sessions and meal times for fitness, or set particular days for sales calls in business. Concrete time blocks turn vague goals into commitments you actually keep.
If we have made those changes and are consistently doing the things that we said we were going to do, we are already making progress to the, our ultimate goal of a higher level of fitness and energy or a higher monthly revenue number. If we want to continue to optimize, then we move into structure. And at the structure level, we're answering the question, can I schedule this? So this is where you're putting a little bit more structure and scaffolding around the things that you've already established. So with your fitness goal, this might be scheduling exactly when your meals are going going to be exactly what days and what times you're going to exercise. For your business, you might be establishing the days that you make your calls or the times that you make your calls. You're structuring these things and scheduling these things because now you're establishing them as a priority. You have scheduled specific times that these things must happen because these are the things that are important to you. So we have already got a little bit more clarity and specificity. About our goal and our plan, and now we are scheduling when that's going to happen. We've incorporated that time element.
