Developing Successful Habits for Work and Business
Let me tell you a story.
This is the story of a man, let’s call him Joe. Joe was overweight and knew he?needed to change his habits?to get healthier.
You see, Joe works at a job, sitting at a desk all day long. He comes home from work each night, grabs a sandwich and handful of cookies, just to tie him over until dinnertime. Then he plops down in front of his TV and stays there.
After a couple of hours of mindlessly watching the tube, he calls his favorite pizza place to get a large pizza with everything delivered. Oh, and he has a bag of chips to go with that as well as a beer or two. And of course, he sits in front of the TV while he eats.
In order to lose some weight, Joe decides he will take up running every day.
He filled his pantry with healthy foods. Joe does a good job?following the plan for about three weeks.
He?hasn’t seen much progress?in his weight loss yet, though. He?gets discouraged?and thinks, “Hey, I’ll just skip running today” and “a pizza sure would taste good.”
Soon Joe has gone back to his old ways. His?new habit fizzled away after only 21 days.
We’ll come back to Joe in a bit.
Everyone has habits.
