Over the past few days I was able to spend some time with my brothers in Connecticut.
The weekend was great it with a couple days of nice weather it was nice to just observe what my brothers were doing to stay busy.
I on the other hand didn’t do much I shot some photos, had some beers, and read a book.
I am back in NYC now and looking back at the images made me think about the best advice I had ever received.

“Small actions performed everyday compound over time.”

If you break down something you love to do or a goal you have into 1 step you can take everyday you will be so much closer to that goal in 30-60 or 90 days.
It’s a great lesson to take action on over this quarantine.

I’ve seen the effects of this principle and I think part of the benefit is discipline.
For example if I was a basketball coach I would take the guy who shoots 50 free throws a day over the guy who takes 1000 free throws one day per month.

Besides the math part of who took more shots the point is that you are breaking the goal into a daily enjoyable practice and making it into bite size chunks.

I firmly believe you can apply this to most anything.
You want your business to make more money we’ll reach out to 5 potential clients a day or better yet focus on finding 20 great clients. (trying this myself)
You want to get fit? Get some cardio in 20-45 minutes a day don’t kill yourself one day a week for 4 hours.
You want to write a book? Write 20 minutes a day.

Over this quarantine ask yourself what small action can you take everyday that in 30-60 days will lead to massive progress? Maybe you write letters to friends and family members to strengthen your bond, maybe you pick up that keyboard you never used, maybe you organize one shelf a day.
The possibility is infinite and much easier when broken down into small chunks.

Hope this helps.

With love,
