How do you make self-improvements? ⚡

I routinely review the past few weeks/months and look for places where I made mistakes or could've done things better. Then I read through the list and check to see if I'm repeating any of these mistakes with things I'm working on now. Usually I am. Identifying bad habits like this is the first step to fixing them.

Admittedly, this is the perfectionist approach to self-improvement: try to take away all the bad.

A rosier approach might be to first identify all of your strengths and great decisions, and then to make sure you're repeating them or even doubling down on them.

I recently wrote a very long article on these topics. My primary focus was on accelerated learning but also covered avoiding procrastination and distractions. If you are looking for resources/references, check it out--I quote tips from @90 people in various fields.

As I did the research, I found the information about the impact of sleep on your brain's ability to function and the causes of procrastination to be personally helpful. I have not yet managed to develop better habits though. Still working on getting from the "just do it" to the "daily routine" stage. :)
