Twelve simple daily tasks that will energise and simplify your life dramatically

Life is rarely won in an overnight show of lights and splendour.

Instead, the real success follow months and years of accumulated actions, often small and seemingly insignificant.

The following are some examples that will not only bring you longer term success, but also add value to your day, right now:

Write down your top three most valuable tasks for this day.

Don’t just write them down, buttface.

Be clear when and how they will get done and then do them no matter what.

Walk at least 30 minutes.

The habit of non-strenuous movement through a town or a forest keeps you trim and creative, while also being a badass daily achievement to separate you from the slovenly fatso masses.

Read 5 pages of non-fiction.

Reading or listening to audiobooks will fuel your curiosity for the world which you can then pour into your own remarkable creative projects.

Write a note to three people.

Whether family or potential clients, getting into the habit of maintaining and expanding my network, even if it’s a simple DM, is one of my most cherished and impactful daily habits.

Stretch.

Few talk about the benefits of regular stretching.

It loosens you and relaxes you. It also improves circulation and all kinds of other cool mental shit.

Do this between 45-minute work sessions like you’re Deepak Chopra training for a showdown with Bruce Lee.

Replace worrying with weird, forced laughter.

Worrying is one of our biggest soul killers and it never does us any good. Try this.

When you feel worry coming on, and you have a strong urge to immerse yourself in negative thoughts, laugh.

Chuckle like a freak clown who’s just received his paycheck.

This trains the mind to associate worry with fun. You can’t lose.

Meditate for 5 minutes.

Each morning, I sit and watch my thoughts and my breath. That’s it.

This small act tames my circus chimp brain and connects me to my inner ancestral warrior wisdom.

Spend 2 minutes reading the tweets and newsletters of A Mathers (pronounced ‘may’thers).

This man is a walking legend and your life will dramatically improve simply by laying eyes on his words.

Spend 1 minute dancing like a degenerate koala bear on cheap acid.

A lot of your stresses are locked in your cardboard hips, so get moving fat ass.

Check over your key stats.

Key indicators aren’t just for billionaire Google execs.

You need to know your 3 or more trackable statistics that show you’re moving towards your goals. Spreadsheet that shit and do it with pride.

A big one for me is newsletter subs so I can continue to annoy you over there on yet another platform.

Get dressed.

As a functioning member of today’s homo sapien society, we need to cover our nude forms with an arrangement of colourful rags and textiles.

Last time I forgot to do this I made it halfway through town before I realised I had nothing but a shirt on.

My night in a cell that day reminded me of the significance of this habit.

Bite your tongue and don’t complain.

Complaining is for little girls who can’t find their doll’s missing parts.

Pointing out when something is wrong is a different thing entirely.

But complaining — even if it’s only in the mind — will pollute your energy and infect those around you.

This is a habit of subtraction and one that will raise your frequency and bring good things effortlessly into your life.

Apply these, smile, and your life will change.

There’s one underestimated thing stopping most from being more energised: deep self-respect.

I know because I struggled to get anywhere in my twenties, and couldn’t figure out the bottleneck until I realised it was a self-identity issue.

Learn the 25 little daily habits I use that reinforce a powerful identity of self-respect in achievable daily steps.

My book shows you how (comes with 3 awesome bonuses):

“One of the best self-help books I’ve read in a long time. Alex exposes, in a clear and concise manner, the behaviors we should study, practice, and adopt to develop better self-respect. This, in turn, leads to earning respect from others.” - Jean Pierre
