Never break the chain

Posted on by philipdodson

Apart from being in the lyrics to this well-known Fleetwood Mac song, if you want to build habits, commitment, then build a chain and never break it.

If you take a task or habit, or anything you want to build or achieve and break it down into daily commitments. Grab a calendar or use my new favourite killer app Productive and mark a cross or swipe done each day, it is like building a ‘steel chain’ of commitment to something.

The longer the chain gets the stronger it gets and the less likely you are to break it.

Habit is all about repetition and going back each day and continuing to cut the new pathways in the brain.

Never break the chain and watch how your productivity becomes stronger and stronger.

Our futures are now

What we do right now in life is building and determining our futures. Every action we do this moment will be shaping our future. What we say, what we eat, who we talk to, the blog we post, the video we make, the song we sing. Equally what we choose not to do is shaping the future too.

Each step, each small building block, each tiny change, each action that we take now will be shaping our future. Small steps to a different life.

What we plan to do next week doesn’t matter.

Plan for now not tomorrow. We spend endless amounts of energy planning for something that might not happen. Instead of doing something now that will actually make a difference to the future.

Now determines the past and determines the future it is the only thing we can alter.

If you want a better future, then act right now, take a step towards it.

Now is our future and all that matters.
