The document summarizes Andrew Horton's article about how your current habits will shape your future. It discusses how both good and bad habits govern people's daily lives and responses. It encourages building habits that serve your goals, like developing one new success habit every quarter over 90 days to achieve effortless success long-term. Dropping bad habits that limit progress is also important. Visualizing your ideal future can help identify which habits to change or build. Consistency and discipline are needed to develop new habits over at least 42 days until they become entrenched.

The way your life will turn out, one year or even
five years from now, is the result of an
accumulation of all your current habits. Everything
in our lives is governed by our habits. Starting with
how you get out of bed in the morning, to how you
dress, to how you speak, think and most
importantly how you act or fail to act, are all
governed by your habits. Your routines or habits
determine how you respond to virtually every set of
circumstances which crosses our path. They
determine, whether you will take the daily action
you need to take in order to achieve your goals,
what you will think about all day, how you will
respond to any challenges, which will cross your
path and they drive you every day, to be disciplined
or lazy.
 Build Habits, Which Serve you
We all have habits, both good and bad, which you
can choose to, leave the way they are. When you
design a success habit set, which is aligned with
what you need to help you achieve your goals and
dreams, you get to carry out all the crucial goal
specific activities every day, in an effortless
fashion.
 Drop Bad Habits
This is where the challenge lies, when you
introduce this new success habit building process
into your life. You need to know where you want
your life to go, identify the bad habits, which are
not serving you and work to replace them with the
success habits that will.
 Action Idea: Get a crystal clear picture in your
mind of exactly what you want to achieve in the
future. Now by starting with the end in mind,
identify the success habits, which will support
you to achieve exactly that level of success.
Secondly explore your current habits and
identify the ones, which are limiting your
progress. Habits like procrastination, always
running late, never completing tasks, always
feeling distracted, etc. are all habits, which will
severely limit your success. It is worth asking
the people closest to you for their input. Ask
them to make a list of all the behaviors they
think are limiting you.
 Discovering your new Success Habits
As you know habits are not something you introduce
into your life in a day. They take time to develop
and require conscious effort applied daily over a
period of around 66 - 90 days to become
entrenched. As you are working daily to introduce
any new habit into your experience, try to visualise
what your life will be like when you perform that
new behaviour, without even having to think about
it. How would your world expand, if you stopped
procrastinating, overcame those irrational fears, or
you began to network with the right people and
built real connection with them?
 Write Down most Productive Habits
Start by writing down the most productive habits
you need to introduce into your life. Now choose
only one new behaviour or habit, which you will
invest the next 90 days into developing. It will
obviously take daily discipline, consistent effort and
dedication to perform the new behaviour. After
about 42 days, the new habit will start to become
entrenched.
If you keep applying yourself and you ensure that
you do not miss a day, without carrying out the new
behaviour. After 90 days you will have a new
success habit, which will serve you going forward.
Yes, you will only develop one new success habit
every quarter, but that equates into four new
success habits a year. Developing new success
habits will not happen in a day, but over time you
will be equipping yourself to achieve effortless
success.

 Making this work for you
The way to make this work for you, so that you can
successfully introduce one new success habit into
your life, every quarter, starts with you developing
a unique method, which suites you and your unique
set of circumstances.
These few questions as listed below, will help you
with this process:
 What will you use to remind yourself to perform
the new behaviour each day?
 What will inspire you to carry out the new
behaviour each day?
Some of the ideas, which I have used with great
success include.
 Writing the new behaviour down on a card,
which I carry with me all day
 I read the card a number of times throughout
the day
 Wake up in the morning and visualise how your
life will improve once you have entrenched this
new success habit in your life.
 Ask someone to be your accountability partner.
You can support each other to develop your
new success habits.
The only way to ensure that this works is to have a
clear plan of action and a method to remind you to
carry out the new behaviour every day. It is also
crucial that you are very clear about why you are
developing the new success habit. Spell out the
reason why you want to develop the new success
habit, so that you will be equipped to recognise
situations, which call for you to respond or perform
the new behaviour.
 The New Behaviour is Non Negotiable
When you are developing your new success habit,
do not tempt yourself to act in any other way by
making the new habit optional. For example: if
your new habit is to go to bed at a specific time.
Even if you are not tired, go to bed. Relax and try
to switch off. Never ever compromise your new
habit in any way. It will never become entrenched,
unless you are consistent and disciplined.
 Four New Habits a Year
The four new habits, which you are going to
develop each year, may seem like nothing at first,
but over time, you will begin to see remarkable
improvements, in your results, as you develop
more and more success habits. Developing new
success habits is a long term commitment, but one
that is worth every ounce of effort required to
develop them.

4. “Brilliant Mindfulness” - By Dr. Cheryl Rezek
Mindfulness is a Buddhist practice. Dr. Cheryl Rezek is a clinical psychologist who applied
Mindfulness in medical practice and evidenced its benefits. This book describes how
psychological health affects physical health. This book mainly focused on keeping our
mind in present state. Our mind will be keep on wandering between past and future,
sometimes even in day-dreaming. This book emphasizes importance of keeping our mind
in present time. Author also describes few simple exercises to improve mindfulness, given
dedicated chapters for that. She also describes stress, anxiety, etc., and its problems
and how being mindful help us to come out of it.
This book is very general not having much of biological or psychological terms, although
few, but understandable. It is a self-help book, intended for any person, not specific to
particular professionals. It helps to improve concentration, keep our mind to pay
attention and live our current life. We may miss certain things just because our mind is
off. Few examples could be,
• In client meeting, we might have missed last few minutes what client said.
• We might miss our bus stop, we realize after crossing it, we rush to get down. It could
be even in lift, we miss our floor or get-down in some other floor and realize later.
• We might not remember how we crossed last few traffic signal while driving our
car/bike.
• Sometimes when reading book, we might lost focus for last few paragraphs/pages and
read again.
• Sometimes in class rooms, we might have missed some part of lessons, our mind went
somewhere
Mindlessness is not good for us and sometimes even dangerous. Since, it helps to keep us
mindful, I recommend this book to be read even if you are not a sort of person regularly
read books. This book is small enough to be read in less than 8 hours (nearly 150 pages),
even by slow readers.
“Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead” - By Sheryl Sandberg
Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook of COO has very clearly illustrated about why there are very
few women at leadership level in any organization. This book would definitely help all
working women who love their career but facing issues to grow. I liked her analysis on
why women decide quit the job and stay at home. Obviously one major factor is male
dominating culture and the society mindset. I would like to highlight few suggestions
from the book such as women have to overcome the superwoman syndrome. Be open to
discuss about the personal problems to your superior. Look for different options to solve
temporary problems. While planning for marriage or child, do not set the mind to leave
before you actually leave. Love your job so that you would desire to come back post
maternity leave as well. Treat your life partner as true partner at all the fronts, getting
spousal support is very important factor for career growth. Defeat the fear and sit at
the table. Don’t hesitate to explore new opportunities/ challenges. After all its jungle
gym and not a straight forward ladder if you wish to grow.
