#21dayhabit

[michael-thandi]

We are all creatures of habit and it's our habits that shape us as individuals. . Some have said that is takes 21 days to form a new habit, other say 2 months. . Everything we think, say and do is a result of deep-seated habits etched into our minds through years and years of repitious behavior. . Some habits are easy, while others take time, effort, planning, attention and repitition. . When limiting bad habits, we need to replace it with a good habit. This creates a new way of doing things. . What new habits can you take on? . Here is a list of 20 habits that may be helpful. . Drop a 💙 if you constantly work on the habits in your life! . #habits #habit #21dayhabit #positivity #motivational #success #thandi #michaelthandi #entrepreneur #lifegoals #purpose #purposedriven #purposedrivenlife #ididityesterday #motivateeducatedominate #mindset #motivationalquotes #thandiquotes #successquotes (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBRMwhIHqyR/?igshid=evv3dklfbkjt

*smirk 🐰 What‘s up? The only thing on my mind: when can I eat my next meal 😂🤷‍♀️🍱🍜🍖🥗 A friend of mine called it ‘freedom through structure’ I actually feel least stressed when I know that everything is planned to the detail and there are no questions left. Of course, I am capable to improvise and know what food and amounts work for me - however it always depends on my goals. It takes me a few days to adjust to a new plan and then I start appreciating the structure and start forming new habits✨ #21dayhabit #shamelessselfie#dietface#tb#mindsetofgreatness#diet#habits#freedom#happiness#fitnessgoals#mealplan#psychofamily (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsYeaSjDZrO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6ipmzfkktupi

I'm in the business of starting over. I am back in a place where the sky's the limit and I've got a wealth of passions and ideas that are rattling around in my brain, trying to get out. I need to make a change. In a good way. I need to organize my time in a way that allows me to express myself in all my creative ways. I've been making videos and I'm comfortable there. What I'm missing is writing. I don't write anymore. I used to write every single day in high school and then one day it just stopped. I found other interests. It's not that I ever lost interest, it's that once I fall in love with a passion, I obsess over it until my creative well is dry. Then I forget about it and tell myself I'll come back later. That doesn't work for me anymore. Once I start a project, I need to keep going with it. First, I'll be writing again. For real. Maybe I'll try a 21 day habit building program, I don't know. But at the end of my life, I don't want to look back at all the years I wasted. So I'm gonna start now. ▫️▫️▫️ #startover #letswrite #instablog #writersofinstagram #creativeminds #dailyinspiration #wednesdaywisdom #lunchtimethoughts #winterwisdom #goalsetting #doingwhatIneedtodo #motivated #readytogo #writers #blogging #creativity #inspiringcreativity #21dayhabits #thearts https://www.instagram.com/p/BrBCg-pFK9k/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mlz4908cuv3j

#shortstopsocialstopwatch are you ready for the challenge?

We’re nearing the end of Week 1 of the first #21dayhabit groups and it’s certainly been intense! Week 1 is all about ‘Foundations’; setting up and tweaking basic social media platforms, setting goals and formulating a strategy.

Now, these three elements are probably the biggest, most time-consuming elements of social media when it comes to business, and even though we are only doing them on a basic level to get the ball-rolling, it has definitely been a shock to those taking part. I’m not a complete and utter sadist when it comes to admin though (although those taking part may disagree and I have been ribbed in the past for my love of the almighty spreadsheet...), I’m always on hand to help those who are struggling with the pace and the next few weeks will be a LOT less labour intensive, but for me it’s really important that that first week is as intense as it has been and I wanted to write a blog to explain why.

Social media is by far and away the area of marketing that us small businesses spend the LEAST time on, but yet I’m told time and time again how that, behind word-of-mouth, it is their BIGGEST business generator; not just as a source of new revenue but also as a way to extend customer relationships. Now, we all know that something doesn’t come from nothing without a little hard work, but so-often we expect that to be the case with our social media, or we leave it to the bottom of the list and do it “when we have a chance”. It’s so easy to do, but if we had a jar of pennies in the corner containing the potential revenue you could gain by spending just a little online each day, I’d guarantee that we’d find that time! 

But, and it’s a big BUT, just aimlessly posting here and there is the same as playing darts blindfolded. We need structure, we need clear goals and, in order to use our time effectively, we need processes! And those three things require time and energy. However, in business TIME IS MONEY and every minute you spend on those three areas of your social media will be an investment which will save you infinite minutes in the future, maximising your impact whilst minimising your time online... which funnily enough is the tagline for the #21dayhabit.

A quick word about minimising time online (and this is really the crux of this blog post)... we spend MUCH more time online than we realise... the problem is that social media admin is a bit like homework... the minutes we spend on it seem like hours when compared to the minutes we spend on our personal social media... 

So I want to set you a challenge: For the next few days time how long you spend on Facebook, set a stopwatch on your phone and every time you reply to a comment on the loo (come on we’ve all done it!!), upload a photo of your lovingly cooked dinner, read a blog post under the duvet in the wee hours, scroll through your news feed whilst in the queue at the checkout... time it! 

You’ll be surprised how quickly it all adds up. Then I want you to share your total and I want you to challenge yourself to NOT go on your personal profiles for 3 days and dedicated that same amount of time to your businesses social media for the same 3 days and then I want you to share any difference you’ve noticed in terms of business results. 

Now I know this isn’t sustainable forever, and I know that it’s not the same because you can’t concentrate on your business goals and ambitions whilst your on the loo (although I’m sure some of the world’s greatest ideas have probably been generated on the bog!) but it does illustrate a key point: how we value our time. And it also tells us, that if we just juggle or prioritise that time for a short while (like the first week of the #21dayhabit) we can drastically claw it back (and then some) because of those foundations that we have put in place.

So let me know how you get on! Share you results on the pinned post on our Facebook page using the hashtag #shortstopsocialstopwatch and if you’re ready to invest that time into laying those foundations then join us on the next #21dayhabit in April by emailing shortstopsocial@icloud.com

Disclaimer: Don’t be scared, I’m not the business coach from hell, you won’t get detention for not completing your #21dayhabit homework, help is given if you find the pace of the first week too intense not only from myself but also from the fabulous group of like-minded business people who will be joining you on the course. Motivation, encouragement and support is key to the program! All of the foundations we lay are built on week by week over the 35 days as you grow, develop and master your business’ social media.

#GiveIt100 #Day21 Yayyy!!!! We made it to day 21!!! Some say it only takes 21 days to form a habit. Some say it takes triple that!
