How to Get Better Every Day

How to Get Better Every Day begins with having measurable activities. Each morning have journals to measure how your progress has changed from the day before.

You can track anything. Weigh yourself to see how yesterday’s diet changed your weight. If you gained a half pound or a pound, you probably ate something that was inflammable for you, did not drink 100 oz of water, ate too much after dinner, or consumed too many calories. You can do better today.

What was your physical activity yesterday? Did you run, work with weights, swim, ride a bike, do yoga, do pushups? How was the duration, speed, distance, enjoyment? Log what you do each day. Make comments if you feel like it. How is the amount of activity comparing to last month?

What are some metrics for your work? Do you have followers, website traffic, customers, or production metrics? Are you in the process of developing, creating or building something? Did you add to the project and bring completion closer?

Prepare for Your Goals

A football player on the Cincinnati Bengals was asked about preparation for the playoffs. He said we work to get better every day. We work on making everything better. We want our progress to be ascending as we play our last games because the playoffs are one and done.

Luckily, we are rarely one and done in our daily life. But we don’t want to live our days aimlessly. It is more fun to track progress and take meaningful steps every day. We don’t have to reach success tomorrow. We just have to have in mind that we would like to be successful.

How you progress is your contribution. Everything you do is who you are. I laughed when I listened to Taylor Swift at end of a song say “you are what you love”. My first thought was that would make me chocolate cake. It emphasizes that passions define us. I have several. I love exercise, health, writing, teaching, building websites, and writing books.

I can measure my progress in most of my activities. That doesn’t create pressure or judgement, but guidance. How am I doing in each? It gives me so much to do when I wake up. I like to get up at 5 a.m. to get started so I can make progress without interruptions in the morning nor feel time pressure. It gives me a lot of hours before I might have an obligation.

Think about who you are and what you want to be? Think about your contribution. What are you doing that makes your life meaningful? What are you doing that helps make the lives of others meaningful? We do live in a hive or colony of mankind. Like the cells in our body or every aspect of Nature, our purpose is to make everything better for those around us and the next generation.
