12 Things Successful People Do Differently
Adapted from marcandangel.com
Here is the link to the original posting. You can find it here. I am feeling I need a little, ( okay a lot), of help in getting back into my creative routine, again!
Successful people:
1. They create and pursue S.M.A.R.T. goals. Smart stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Timely.
2. They focus on being productive, not being busy.
3. They make logical, informed choices.
4. They take decisive and immediate action.
5. They avoid the trap of trying to make things perfect.
6. They work outside of their comfort zone.
7. They keep things simple.
8. They focus on making small, continuous improvements.
9. They measure and track their progress.
10. They maintain a positive outlook as they learn from their mistakes.
11. They spend time with the right people.
12. They maintain balance in their life.

A Tim Tam biscuit is a chocolate covered malt biscuit covered in chocolate with a thin layer of chocolate in the middle. They taste almost airy and are delicious. There was a time when stores like Target (in the USA) were selling these and even my local supermarket!

Importance of a Daily Routine

Lately, I have been distracted and can't seem to get into type of regular creative routine. I have no excuses! I realize how important it is to treat my creative work like a job. I need to treat it like any normal paying job. Each morning I have to write down what needs to get done and then I execute those tasks. Whatever creative pursuits you want to achieve needs to become a habit. It has to become second nature.
Do you have a daily routine that helps you create?
What are the most important triggers for your creative state of mind?
What happens to your creativity if your routine is interrupted?
