We all want to be more productive, more efficient, and to be able to tick the things on our wish list, but not many people actually achieve their goals.

Why is that?

There are many reasons, of course. Not setting up the right goals, not breaking them down into measurable and realistic parts, lack of motivation, and so on. However, the lack of a routine seems to be quite high on the list.

The human brain is great at dealing with patterns and routines. It can get used to the specific effort very soon once it has been added to a routine. This is because our brains are evolutionary prepared to get good at the things they do a lot. It’s what allows us to be so adaptable. That we only change our physical and mental ways once we have realized that we need to do that one thing more than once in our life. Otherwise, we would be wasting a lot of energy, unnecessarily.

The added structure that a routine gives to your day, to your life, is the missing piece when it comes to actually achieving your goals. It’s the thing that will finally get you to pass the test, get the body, get the job, understand the subject, and more. Small, targeted efforts, every day. That’s all it takes.
