The gap between a goal and the daily actions that will get you there is usually a big stumbling block when it comes to building habits. Matt Griswold, a successful entrepreneur and investor offers a useful approach to life:

"Think in decades and act in days."

Working backward from a goal is a far better way of planning than focusing on pain or the current situation you are in. One angle comes from optimism, one comes from fear.

I’ve spent the last 3 or so years working on my daily blueprint for optimal health. Looks like i’m not the only one…

Dr Andrew Huberman suggests these easy and mostly free habits to add into your daily routine, here are my favourites that I use everday:

In the AM

• Prioritize light exposure in the morning

• Restrict caffeine until 90min after waking

• Aim to drink 1L (32 ounces) of water in the first 4 hours of the day

In the PM

• Prioritise a consistent bed time

• Optimise your sleep environment
