months, stick with it until it becomes your routine. If you’re not
serious about learning the Success Habit, you’re not serious
about getting extraordinary results.
4 . Leverage reminders. Set up ways to remind yourself to use the
Focusing Question. One of the best ways to do this is to put up a
sign at work that says, “Until my ONE Thing is done—
everything else is a distraction.” We designed the back cover of
this book to be a trigger —set it on the corner of your desk so
that it’s the first thing you see when you get to work. Use notes,
screen savers, and calendar cues to keep making the connection
between the Success Habit and the results you seek. Put up
reminders like, “The ONE Thing = Extraordinary Results” or
“The Success Habit Will Get Me to My Goal.”
5 . Recruit support. Research shows that those around you can
influence you tremendously. Starting a success support group
with some of your work colleagues can help inspire all of you to
practice the Success Habit every day. Get your family involved.
Share your ONE Thing. Get them on board. Use the Focusing
Question around them to show them how the Success Habit can
make a difference in their school work, their personal
achievements, or any other part of their lives.This one habit can become the foundation for many more, so
keep your Success Habit working as powerfully as possible. Use the
strategies outlined in Part 3: Extraordinary Results, for goal setting
and time blocking to experience extraordinary results every day of
your life.
