1. The two-minute rule

If the task takes less than two minutes, do it. Think about how many things we keep putting off fit in two minutes or less. For instance, it is really simple to wash a few plates right after a meal without waiting for the sink to overflow. Daily short-term cleaning of the house will help avoid lengthy debris clearing at the end of the week.

Did you see a birthday reminder? Congratulate with a call or message now. Tomorrow there will be no shame about the forgotten birthday boy.

2. Rule 20 minutes

The essence of this rule is that you do not need to climb out of your skin to immediately fulfill your goal, but you can begin to devote only 20 minutes to this business every day. This time frame is manageable, even if you do not feel like doing it. This rule is a fantastic strategy to combat laziness, and it boosts motivation tremendously!

  • Take 20 minutes a day to exercise, and you won't be worried about your health.
  • Take 20 minutes a day to clean your home, and you will forget about the clutter.

3. Rule of 72 hours (three days)

Its core is found in the realization that if you have any plans or dreams, you should start fulfilling them within 72 hours after they appear. This may even be a very insignificant step, but it must necessarily lead to the realization of a dream in your understanding. Even writing down is already a step.

4. Rule 21 days

If we repeat the same action for 21 days, it is deposited in the subconscious, and we begin to do it automatically.

21 days is not just a few minutes for you - the matter is more serious, which means you should do everything gradually; like any business, break the process of developing a habit into small stages - try to hold out for one day, two days, and if you repeat the same for a week or two weeks? And it’s easier there because it’s familiar and comfortable. Why 21 days? This period was experimentally proven in the United States; twenty people were given special glasses that turned all images upside down. They had to wear these glasses around the clock. Their brain adapted to this state of affairs on the 21st day and began to turn all the surrounding things, perceiving such an image as ordinary.

Features; if you take at least one break, even if it falls on the 20th day, you will have to get used to it again; 21 days is only 1 stage; in fact, 100% of the habit is formed in 40 days of continuous repetition of the desired actions; Day 21 lets you know if you really need these skills. If regular actions do not work and do not bring satisfaction, then it is simply "not yours."

5. Rule of 10 thousand hours

10 thousand hours equals 5 years of full-time work or 10 years of work for 3 hours a day. In order to succeed in any business, you must lose 10 thousand hours on it. Malcolm Gladwell outlined this rule in his book "Geniuses and Outsiders." He asserts that anyone, regardless of talent, skill, or inclinations, can become a professional in any business, spending 10 thousand hours on its development and improvement.

"Start with two minutes - 10 thousand hours on the way to your success", - advises Anna Litvinchuk.
