Habitual Growth is a comprehensive personal development platform designed to help individuals understand the "why" behind their thoughts and actions. It goes beyond traditional to-do list apps by focusing on mental and behavioral change, tailored for those striving for a better life with an Achiever’s Mindset.

The app provides a range of features to support personal development, including:

• Goal Setting: Define specific goals with end dates to concentrate efforts and ensure continuous progress.

• Essential Actions: Break down goals into actionable daily tasks to maintain discipline and focus.

• Progress Tracking: Monitor your growth over time with customizable views and real-time transparency.

• Weekly Affirmations: Receive motivational messages to inspire and challenge you.

• Community Features: Join or create groups to share your journey, gain accountability, and engage in healthy competition through leaderboards.

There may be many different phrases or terminology out there in the personal development space which mean the same thing as an Essential Action. None are better or worse than the other, they simply represent the concept of building into your daily routine the things you must get done to move yourself forward towards your goals, establish new habits or overall personal development.

Essential Actions can be determined in a couple of different ways. Most commonly, an individual will begin their day thinking about actions that, if completed, will move them closer to a goal or habit that they desire to achieve. They select 5-7 of these actions as their Essential Actions for that day. When they complete all of these actions they have Conquered the day and know they’ve taken actionable steps of forward progress.

Another option for developing Essential Actions can be to work backwards from a goal or habit. This is especially helpful for individuals with short term goals as the visibility of daily action is generally greater towards overall success in reaching the goal. For example, you’re a small business owner and you want to increase your monthly revenue by $10,000 over the next 6 months. The primary way you generate revenue is through sales of your top 3 products and you know that sales come from generating potential leads. As an Essential Action, you may select things on a daily basis that increase the likelihood of generating a potential lead such as making 5 cold calls and making 1 value-based short video and posting it to your company’s Facebook page.

It’s important to keep in mind that there isn’t a black and white, right or wrong way to create your Essential Actions. The critical aspect is to understand which actions are most important to you to Conquer on a daily basis, as they align with the goals and habits that you’re working towards.

It is also important to note that Essential Actions are NOT to-do list items, they should be intentionally selected as daily actions which, when Conquered, generate momentum towards personal progress.

To make sure your goals are realistic and achievable, you can follow these steps:

1. Start with a specific goal. Be as clear and specific as possible about what you want to achieve. Instead of saying "I want to be healthier," specify what you mean by "healthier” such as losing 10 pounds or exercising 4 times per week.

2. Break your goal down into smaller and more manageable steps. For example, if your goal is to exercise more, start with a small amount (e.g., 15-30 minutes) of exercise each day and gradually increase it.

3. Make your goal measurable. This is an important element of goal setting so that you can effectively track your progress. For example, if your goal is to save money, set a specific amount you want to save each month (e.g., $500).

4. Be realistic: Consider your current situation and what you are realistically able to achieve. Setting a goal that is too difficult or impossible to achieve can be discouraging.

5. Set a realistic deadline for achieving your goal. For example, a promotion to the next level within 18 months. Setting a deadline will help you stay focused and motivated.

6. Review your progress regularly and adjust your goals if necessary. If you find that your goals are too easy or too difficult, make adjustments to keep yourself on track.

The time it takes to establish a new habit can vary from person to person and depends on several factors such as the complexity of the habit and the individual's level of motivation and consistency.

In a study published in the European Journal of Social Psychology, researchers found that it took participants an average of 66 days to establish a new habit. However, the time it took varied widely, ranging from 18 to 254 days.

Other factors that can impact the time it takes to establish a new habit include the frequency and consistency of the behavior, the individual's environment and social support, and the individual's personality traits and mindset.

Establishing a new habit requires consistent effort and repetition, and it's important to remain committed to the behavior over time. It's also important to be patient and realistic about the time it takes to establish a new habit. It is normal to experience setbacks and challenges along the way, but with persistence and commitment, it is possible to establish new habits that can have a positive impact on your life.
