Love the first six steps listed here - so many of which i resonate with. #2 is one that i actually have never really done myself. I mean i have it in my head, but writing it down and then putting it aside actually makes a lot of sense. What I particularly love about these though, is your personal note at the end about how successful (or not successful) you were at each item itself. It lends to a lot more authenticity, and makes it infinitely more relatable. Also connects very well to #5 - easier to give yourself grace if the author of the article (or speaker etc) is learning to do the same. Look forward to pt 2!

Thanks Jimmy! It was definitely a mixed bag but on the whole, it was successful!

I'm not giving up my BritBox, Chris, and you can't make me! But, everything else can go/has never been a priority/if you really need me, call, don't text. 😘 xo

Great tips here for sure. I got back on social media again recently and though I recognize some definite value in it, it's still becoming a time suck quickly. You touched on this too, but it's been over 100 degrees here for weeks now so going outside hasn't been an option which I know isn't helping. Definitely like the idea of scheduling some specific "social media time" to help curb the addiction to checking it all the time. You reminded me I need to go back and read Atomic Habits again too so thanks for that 😊

Thanks for sharing. I'm really enjoying all your articles and echo the thoughts below around authenticity. It is more inspiring to hear about the times you're not so successful but keep going anyway. hats off.

These are some legitimately useful habits to adopt. I’ve taken them on board and I’m looking forward to part 2. Thank you Chris.
