Better yet, it&#8217;s about daily discipline. To achieve discipline on the molecular level, I&#8217;m INSPECTING what I&#8217;m EXPECTING. I spent the final week of 2022 preparing a daily habit, a weekly to-do, and a few other measurables I want to achieve in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m using a free version of the Notion app to make lists, tables, and trackers. I have seven personal daily habits that I check off throughout the day. They include reading, working out, learning more Spanish, reading the Bible, having a good night&#8217;s rest, and even watching The Office. These little habits keep me rested, focused, and healthy daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I want to say a digital &#8220;hello&#8221; to over 2,000 employees in a distributed workforce, I must make an intentional plan. I have a weekly task list for work that breaks up tasks Monday-Friday. For example, to check in on 500 employees in a given month, I&#8217;ll need to direct message 125\/per week. One more work of arithmetic and I need to contact 25 people daily. I&#8217;ve also added a weekly task to write another blog post and record another podcast. These measurable daily tasks are helping me to achieve much larger goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once I&#8217;ve checked off the essential tasks of the day, I can embrace joy and freedom because I&#8217;m not feeling guilty for spending time with my kids, knocking out some &#8220;Spider-Man: Miles Morales&#8221; achievements, hunting a dinner recipe, or watching the Buccaneers barely clinch a playoff spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the old proverb tells us, &#8220;eat an elephant one bite at a time.&#8221; Happy 2023, friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"506\" data-id=\"2575\" src=\"https:\/\/anthonykgoodwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/akg-notion-1024x506.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anthonykgoodwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/akg-notion-1024x506.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/anthonykgoodwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/akg-notion-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/anthonykgoodwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/akg-notion-768x380.jpg 768w, https:\/\/anthonykgoodwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/akg-notion-1536x760.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/anthonykgoodwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/akg-notion.jpg 1919w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"615\" data-id=\"2574\" src=\"https:\/\/anthonykgoodwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/akg-notion-daily-habit-1024x615.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anthonykgoodwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/akg-notion-daily-habit-1024x615.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/anthonykgoodwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/akg-notion-daily-habit-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/anthonykgoodwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/akg-notion-daily-habit-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/anthonykgoodwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/akg-notion-daily-habit.jpg 1370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discipline = Freedom Jocko Willink shared this idea in his second book, &#8220;Discipline Equals Freedom: Field Manual.&#8221; For me, 2023 is about discipline.
