• mark milestones (do not forget to praise yourself for each week, month, six months, etc., that you follow this or that habit);
• go to the "implementation" of the new habits, when you notice that performing any action on the machine, not at all thinking about him.

Now 9 habits, which, according to Jonathan Fields, change your life.

1. Visualization

Sound familiar? As you know, before going to sleep in my head thousands of thoughts are swarming, 90% of which are absolutely useless.

Rather than speculate about any nonsense, think, and better imagine what you do tomorrow. Where to go, with whom met as a meeting will be held - to draw in my head more, and most importantly a positive picture of tomorrow, and you will be surprised how successful he will be.

According to Fields, it is the same plan, but much more fun.

2. Setting priorities

Jonathan Fields notes that the lack of confidence in itself - it is often the result of excessive multitasking. Man tries to catch everything and everywhere, but in the end does nothing to 100%.

Define your main goal and give up all that goes with it against. Make it a rule to "scan" the case for prioritization: Helps whether a challenge to reach the goal? Not? Forget about it!

3. up early

Layfhaker already talked a lot about the benefits of early climbs. We give advice, how to become a morning personAnd were TOP-10 most successful in the world of Lark.

Jonathan Fields also believes that to get up early - it's great. After all, the sooner your alarm bell, the more you will have time to do so before the end of the day. A more productive than you, the better I feel.

4. morning ritual

Woke up, I put the kettle on, go brush your teeth, boil kettle, threw wash, turned off the kettle, ate a sandwich, took a shower, the phone rang, wearing socks, checked the mail, put on his shirt, spoke again on the phone, drink cold coffee, tied his tie... The morning many people resembles chaos. The absence of a sequence of actions leads to the fact that for 1-2 hours in the morning people are experiencing stress, which knocks him out of the rut for the rest of the day.

Fields advised to develop their own personal daily morning ritual. Clearly think through the order of their actions - from lifting up out of the house - and strictly follow it.

5. Water

Glass of water in the morning helps get rid of toxins accumulated by the body for the night. In addition, water improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and stimulates the metabolism.

Fields believes that drinking a glass of water in the morning - a good habit for your health.

6. single-tasking

Only 2% of people in the world can live according to the principle of Julius Caesar, that is to do several things at once and still feel great. The rest 98% is given with great difficulty, and leads them to self-doubt.

Hand in a particular case, bring it to the end, without being distracted by other tasks. This will increase your productivity by several times and will add points to your "I".

7. Asceticism

People are inundated with unnecessary things. In our homes are hundreds of things, without which we could easily have lived.

Jonathan Fields recommended to get rid of all the trash. Moreover, the habit of following the wise asceticism - do not buy and do not store unnecessary things.

8. Internet filter

Internet - is a swamp. Internet - is an indispensable business tool. Internet - a "time killer." Internet - it is an invaluable source of information.

All these propositions are true. The only question is how you will build your relationship with the global spider's web and the network will be for you.

Fields, as well as many other business coaches, advises to choose a specific time during the day to check your email, communication social networks, etc. For example, take in the habit of sitting in the "Kontaktike" half an hour after dinner, not before, not after, and no minute longer.

9. evening ritual

Work out your evening ritual is as important as the morning. This will help prepare for a stress free sleep.

Fields Jonathan advises find a nightly relaxation procedure (e.g., a warm bath with salt), which is a signal for the body to go to sleep.
