I ran across this concept when reading about how to become a better writer. They suggested that in order to become a better writer that it needed to become a habit.
Often we think about breaking bad habits. Rather than thinking only about bad habits, creating good habits is an excellent way of developing into the person that we want to become.
Want to become a better writer? Schedule an hour a day to write an article, blog post, or chapter to a book.
Want to be more familiar with current issues? Subscribe to a magazine and spend 30 minutes or an hour a day reading about current issues on the internet.
Want to be a better speaker? Spend an hour a day listening to speakers you respect or reading good literature.
Want to be in better shape? Commit to exercising an hour a day.
If you are serious about taking definite steps towards improving some aspect of your person, make a habit of it. If it sounds unexciting to make it a habit, maybe it’s not really who you want to be or are meant to be. If spending an hour a day doing what it takes to improve sounds exciting, then what are you waiting for?
