THE POWER OF ROUTINES RITUALS AND HABITS

“The staff and facilities are amazing at Belmont, Great customer service.

A lot has been written about the importance of having positive routines in your life. Routines, Rituals and Habits are created to simplify decision making. Successful people believe reducing decisions on the unimportant and mundane allows more room for the bigger more important decisions.

everyday “beans and tuna”. I do this so I don’t have to think about lunch every day saving my decision making powers for other important matters. Decisions are not infinite; studies have proven that our ability to make well thought out decisions diminishes throughout the day. Often referred to as decision fatigue. Creating routines, rituals and habits removes friction from our lives and saves our decision making powers. It also ensures that we are still achieving everything we need to lead a balanced healthy life. Routines help in both our personal and professional lives; some people exercise first thing every morning before work, others read before going to bed. At work we can apply this thinking to our day to day. Adopting routines help in leading fuller richer lives by achieving more with less. If you haven’t created your own routines, rituals or habits ask yourself; What am I not doing that I would like to do everyday? Can I simplify my day to day to become more effective? Think about how you can work these answers into your daily routine with minimum effort.

The facilities are very safe, very secure and very dry. We had our items stored for four years and have just been transported interstate and look exactly the same as the day we stored them. No damp, mould or bugs to be found on bedding, fridges etc in all that time. We didn’t even have to fly interstate to attend the removal as we arranged and advised Kennards of the Removers arrival date, time and access. Kennards were only to happy to assist and extremely helpful. Lenci even advised me by text the time they arrived and assisted with access to the facility. I would like to thank the Kennards staff for all their valued assistance as I spoke with three of you and you were all just as helpful and for the Voucher; that doesn’t expire :) how good is that.

CREATING ROUTINES, RITUALS AND

Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Jeff Bezos (Amazon) and Steve Jobs (Apple) wear the same style of clothes every day. Steve Jobs in particular had a wardrobe full of jeans and turtle- neck black skivvies and made them his trademark. It was important to these very successful people not to waste decision power on deciding what to wear each day. My own routine as those in THQ know all too well, is to have the same lunch ‘ HABITS REMOVES FRICTIONS FROM OUR LIVES AND SAVES OUR DECISION MAKING POWERS

Thank you and I can’t praise you enough.

Keep up this great work. All the very best.”
