As the author of more than 70 books, Steve "S.J." Scott is one of the most productive and disciplined people I know.\nHis latest title, Habit Stacking, became a Wall Street Journal Bestseller and served as the inspiration for this episode.\n(Long-time listeners might remember Steve from WAY back in the archives; he was my guest in episode 9 where we discussed how to earn money as a side hustling author.)\nThis time though we're diving into a few of the habits that allow Steve to continually drive his business forward, and lead a healthier and happier life. Plus, you'll learn why we think they're important and how you can apply them in your own life.\nThe 10 habits we cover are:\n\nTracking your time\n\nReviewing your goals daily\n\nWriting down the tasks you got done\n\nFixing your "broken windows"\n\nWearing a step-tracking device\n\nKeeping a food diary\n\nResearching one side hustle\n\nBreaking down a big project into actionable steps\n\nFollowing an evening shutdown routine\n\nPracticing mindfulness\n\nAs you can see, they're not all directly business-related, but most take 5 minutes or less and are designed to increase your productivity, reduce stress, prioritize your workload, and help you find a healthy work-life balance.\nTune in to hear how Steve and I incorporate these habits into our daily routines (or plan to, in my case). As you'll see in the links section below, there are a lot of books, apps, and resources mentioned.\nFull Show Notes and PDF Highlight Reel: 10 Foundational Hustle Habits to Improve Your Health, Wealth, and Happiness
