For a successful living, I study extremely successful people. These are 11 small routines they follow each day.

These are 11 small routines they follow each day. Here are 11 small adjustments to daily living that extremely successful people make:

1) Seek Discomfort:

Do not just try to learn; try to be uncomfortable. Chasing discomfort accelerates your personal development. It has to feel wrong before you can get it right.

2) Set a Mistake budget:

Establish a goal for the least amount of mistakes you wish to make each day or each week to promote trial and error. You improve more and ruminate less when you expect to make mistakes.

3) Ask for advice, not feedback:

Feedback is retrograde; it prompts others to either applaud or criticize you. Guidance is proactive; it makes others want to coach you. By posing the straightforward query, "What's one thing I can do better next time?" you can encourage your supporters and detractors to behave more like coaches.

4) Figure out which sources to trust:

Determine which information should be filtered out and which should be absorbed. Pay attention to the coaches who are knowledgeable about the subject (credibility), familiar with you (familiarity), and concerned about your well-being (care).

5) Starve for excellence, Not Perfection:

Upholding high standards is what leads to progress, not getting rid of every flaw. Decide which of your shortcomings you can live with. Think about where you can get by with mediocrity and where you really need the best.

Upon reflection, ask yourself: Did you improve yourself? Did you improve someone else?

6) Be the last Judge for yourself:

It's preferable to let people down than to let yourself down. Consider whether something accurately portrays you before releasing it into the world. Would you be proud of this work if it was the only one that people ever saw of you?

7) Turn the daily grind into source of Daily joy:

Create deliberate play into your design process to preserve a harmonious passion. Provide enjoyable tasks that enhance one's skills, such as Steph Curry attempting to score 21 points in a minute or medical residents improving their nonverbal communication abilities through absurd wordplay in improvised comedic games.

8) Back up to move Forward:

When you come to a dead end, you may need to go back and take an alternate route. Although it seems like a step backward, it's frequently the only way to discover a path forward.

9) Teach what you want to Learn:

Teaching someone something is the best way to learn it. Explaining something makes it easier for you to understand, and giving it some thought helps you remember it. This can be done in groups, where each person teaches a particular skill or fact.

10) Open doors for people, who are underrated or overlooked:

Make sure that everyone has access to opportunities and resources, not just talented students or high-potential workers. Underdogs and late bloomers can demonstrate their progress with a well-designed system.

11) Engage in mental time travel:

If you're having trouble seeing your progress, try thinking about what your previous self would think of your current accomplishments. How pleased would you have been five years ago if you had known then what you have accomplished now?
