Habits and daylight saving time.

I'm Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J Pombo Live.

And yes, I did say daylight saving time all the people go nuts if you say savings, even though we all grew up saying it that way, but supposedly the correct way is daylight saving time.

Let's talk about habits and how they apply.

Habits, we talk a lot about habit-building here, especially if you're early on in your entrepreneurial journey. And you are learning how to teach yourself to do the right thing to do the things that matter in business and trying to grow your business habits really matter a whole heck of a lot and learning how to build habits.

So you don't burn yourself out just trying to plow through everything with willpower, you know, eventually that energy runs out. And you have to have other things that help make up the difference.

I was pretty lucky early on to not ever be really good at willpower, I burn out real fast if I'm just trying to force something. So I'm very protective of how much force I put into things.

I've gotten good, not gotten good. I'm in the process of getting better at building habits and realizing what works and what doesn't work, what allows me to start, but also what allows me to keep going.

And we've as I said, we've discussed this a lot on this channel, you could watch other videos about it, one of the things that I'll throw people off, though, is a change at all in schedule.

Your body gets into a rhythm with time, you know, during, if you have a certain time of the day that you take a nap, your body starts shutting down during that time, if you have a time of the day that if you have the time at night where you go to sleep, your body tends to go to sleep at that time, that there are certain rhythms and the older you get, I think I could be wrong on this.

But at least for myself, the more ingrained these rhythms get, and the more specific my body gets about doing things in a very specific rhythm. I don't know if that's the case with you, too.

I mean, leave me a comment and let me know if you're any different. But as I've gotten older, I really do have to stick to more of a schedule, or at least I have to acknowledge that there's a schedule there, that my body is trying to go one way when I'm trying to go another, nothing is more true than when we switch times, back and forth.

Those of you in Arizona and Hawaii, I know you don't do that. I don't think Hawaii does it. I know Arizona doesn't and that's fabulous.

I wish we could institute that countrywide for those of you in the United States. And I know a whole lot of the world still practices, daylight saving time where you switch up an hour or back an hour throughout the year drives me nuts, drives my body crazy.

My whole family goes bonkers because we send the kids to bed at a very specific time every night. And when that gets thrown off there and they go nuts for, you know, a couple of days, because their bodies are off. They're not used to it.

In any habits, I build up the slightest change in schedule in terms of what I things I'm used to doing, when I start really messing with that all of a sudden habits get thrown off and I forget to do something that I've built a habit of doing.

So how do you fix that?

How do you make sure that you stay in rhythm even though ...
