Things to Stop Doing in 2024

Stop Earning With Your Time

Instead of trading hours for dollars, use your smarts to earn. Why? Because when you're paid for your time, your income growth is capped. But when you earn with your mind, the sky's the limit. Your earning potential isn't tied to the clock.

So, for example, you could start by charging hourly as a consultant. Then, you might sell your time in groups. Instead of having one person on call, you hire three people to be on call.

You could also create a product or strategy that keeps making money, even when you're not actively working on it. For instance, you create a course or book once, but continuously sell it. That's how you break free from the time-for-money trap and potentially earn way more.

Stop Living Like A Mess

Having a clean and organized workspace can make you more productive. Turns out, people with clean workspaces are 94% more productive than those with messy desks. Plus, having a tidy desk can help with mood and energy levels.

Now, how do you achieve this? It's actually pretty simple. Spend 5 minutes in the morning and evening to tidy up your desk. Before you start working, clean out any mess. And at the end of the day, don't close out until your desk is clean too.

Once you establish this routine and have a well-set workspace, your brain gets trained that when you're there, it's time to work.

Stop Taking So Long To Take Action

Parkinson's Law is about how work expands to fill the time you give it.

And then there's the Akrasia effect, which is another reason why we procrastinate. Victor Hugo, a famous author, had a whole year to write a book but instead, he procrastinated and delayed his work. It wasn't until his publisher set a shorter deadline that he finally got serious about writing.

So, the main idea is that if you set shorter deadlines and limit the time you spend thinking about a task, you'll be more likely to take action and get things done. It works because it forces you to focus and be more efficient with your time.

Stop Eating Cereal for Breakfast

Tackle the difficult tasks first thing in the morning. By doing the hard stuff first, everything else seems easier. It's all about prioritizing the important tasks that actually contribute to your goals, rather than just checking off random things on a to-do list.

It's like Mark Twain said, "if you have to eat a frog, eat it in the morning." So, instead of eating cereal (which is like a small task), focus on identifying and tackling the big, important tasks that will bring you closer to success. It's a way to stay focused and make progress towards your goals.
