Habits for success

Reflect:
Think about the events that take place in your day-to-day life. Some examples might include working, picking up your kids from school, preparing dinner, attending church, spending quality time with your spouse, and so forth. Next, think about some of your daily habits. For example: Do you take long showers? Do you spend a lot of time looking at social media, watching tv, or playing video games? Consider the amount of time you spend with these events and habits and how you prioritize them.
