Version 1:
A friend who was highly driven and focused on success followed the same morning routine for almost two years. He would wake up at 5:15 a.m., grab a bowl of apple slices and blueberries from the fridge, drink a 16-ounce bottle of water, warm up and stretch for five minutes, and then hop on his Peloton by 5:30 a.m. for a minimum of 30 minutes. However, when a pedal on his bike broke, his routine started to fall apart. He couldn't exercise, so he stopped waking up early, stopped eating apples and blueberries, and stopped drinking water. The improvement ripple effect, which usually leads to improvements in other areas, turned into the opposite, and his entire routine fell apart. Routines are essential for success, but they can be disrupted easily. To prevent this from happening, it's crucial to turn a routine into a practice.
