10 Simple Daily Habits That Anyone Can Use To Become Smarter
Do these now.
There are two kinds of “smarts”: book smarts and street smarts. You need both in order to succeed.
Similar to success, developing your intelligence is not a result of one big fortuitous moment.
It is built upon a series of daily habits that slowly grind away the obstacles that lie between us and our goals.
Here are the top 10 things I incorporate into my life every single day that has paid dividends:
1. Wake up at 5:30 AM and read, write, or exercise.
I have a love-hate relationship with waking up early. My bed is the most comfortable thing ever. However, even though I loathe when I hear my alarm annoyingly buzzing beside me, I have to get out of bed then in order to start the day off right. I yawn, make coffee, and sit at my desk. For the next hour and a half, I write. I write for my blog. I write for Medium. I write for no one and everyone. Sometimes the piece does not turn out well. Other times, it turns out fantastic. Either way, the result is never as important as sticking to the process and I am able to begin the day doing something I love.
