5 habits that will fix 93% of your problems 

Yo friends! I'm curious: What was your biggest takeaway? If you want to keep up with my weekly musings on productivity, business, really just how I try to make progress - I have a newsletter you might enjoy! www.anthonyvicino.com/newsletter

1 - decide at the beginning of the day how to win the day 2 - stick to your wake up time 3 - eat that frog - in other words do the hardest thing early in the day 4 - get more sunlight 5 - at the end of the day assess how your day went

My mom taught me to always get up at the same time, early, and make my bed. She also was a believer in sunlight. Very early in the morning, she raised the shades and opened the curtains. She said, "Sunlight is healing." I still do this every day.

Ha! We raised our kids (23 & 25) with this saying, “YOU choose if you have a good day or a bad day!”. No matter what is thrown your way, you get to decide how things affect your day. They still live by that and are such positive, happy adults. I’m so glad you have that as number one!

Walking. I started walking every single day outdoors during my lunch break. This eventually turned into walking while listening to self help books, which lead to more and more beneficial things. Week by week I began compounding on healthier and more productive choices. Eventually things like these on my to-do list were just part of my every day life. Start very small and see where the snowball effect takes you.

This came at a perfect time for me. I recently retired and my schedule is too loose and I don’t feel productive. Last night I promised myself that I would rise at 7 am to start my day, instead of 9 am. Your tips come to me at a perfect time. I want to enjoy my remaining years but want to feel productive at the same time.

For me it’s waking up and taking sun light. Right now listening to your video while changing to go for a sunlight walk before work

I am retired and have been at loose ends about where to go from here. I still want to feel accomplishment, be engaged and productive. This is a perfect plan! Thanks

My biggest takeaway is - “Are you the type of person who shows up and does what you say you are going to do, or aren’t you?” Self-esteem is the opinion you have of yourself.

Your attitude is everything. I took that with me to boarding school when I left home at 11 years old, in the military to multiple combat zones, as a diplomat in the State department stationed in over 80 countries, and as a 7 figure entrepreneur. Not trying to flex, just saying anywhere can be paradise, even a prison cell, if you decide you want it to be.

I never ever ever ever figure out how to WIN the day. Oh yeah I have to do lists… boring unmotivating lists that make me get under the blanket with my cat after I hit the snooze button. I’m starting here now, but I see value in all of them. Funny but at the end of the day I try to review wins in bed, but they are always unplanned hap hazard events. I’m always surprised. I’ll bet winning planned wins will be a lot more fun and motivating. Especially if you have wins and victories daily. Thanks Anthony. Always appreciate the content. I’ll check back in a week!

I agree that morning routine is essential. Get up early, make your bed, eat breakfast and get ready. The ''cheat'' day, that varies only slightly from the norm, should be pre-designated, like a sunday. Planning your day the night before is also helpful. I used to write lists the night before of key tasks that I was going to do the next day and even sometimes break down the schedule.

I love the idea of winning the day. So much easier and more sensible than looking at the totality of one's life and wondering what's wrong.😊

Define winning the day! What a concept, and just what I needed to hear. I'm 66 "retired homemaker", empty nester, trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life. I'm familiar with the other four habits, but that first one, wow! That gives me something to think about and work towards. Thanks for sharing.

Anthoney Vicino, I decided to watch this video because it reads 5 habits that will fix 93% of your problems. from age 17 to age 57 years of age I got up early went to work did the best I could while at work I set a goal to be retired at 60 but I retired at 57 years of age because I was financially able to. So, doing small things over and over helps one hang in there for the big rewarding parts of a persons life. This is just one persons point of view, but I can now sleep in because I stay focus for 40 years of my life. Now, I get to sleep in no more going to work because I do not need to. thanks for the video.

Promise to yourself is powerful. Indeed, when you don't keep your promise to other people, there's a chance they will not notice or forget. You, on the other hand, will always know.

The first tip alone is worth its weight in gold. Knowing what you’re trying to accomplish is the starting point for hitting a goal.

I was pleassntly surprised that i already do some of these! I walk outside in sunlight every day! It really has a huge impact on my daily well being. I feel anxious and irritable if i dont get my 45 to 60 min walk !

Speed golf: golfers in tactile gears running to the next hole. It's golfing and it's a race. The athletes haul their own clubs. Sounds like sport I would watch

I gotta agree with the just getting up part. Your perception of yourself and the momentum you have to take on the challenges of the day will really depend on that first act. And when you don’t get up on time then you feel like the battle has already been lost.

I go for walks with my dog brother, we usually walk 2 miles which is about 45min… I’ll either listen to podcast or focus music instrumentals etc definitely it puts me in a calming mood to continue the day

Am a big kid. In Fighting the Dragon. I did notice how enthusiastic and exaggerating in my actions and words when I am around kids. I should do the same for myself

I feel sometimes low vibe in my work but when i realize why i see that those are periods i have nothing exciting in my own deveopment going on, so i look for "great things to do" in my work such as to be really good in it but when its not always possible due to me being human and pending results from co-workers and such, and when its not possible i feel bad. I am returning with this insight to build my dream body the dream goal i left behind and to achieve it further then ever along with getting my own new income going. Sounds like exciting stuff to be cheerful at even when the day at the desk is cloudy! Life insight gained! * jumping and clapping with legs *

God dude you’re videos are so good. I generally hate “gurus” or “life coaches” or “life hack” or “motivation content”, but something about you just feels genuine. Like you want to see me win. I think it has to do with your content, and its accuracy. Thanks

This is a familiar set of recommended daily habits , but honestly one of the best imagined and explained videos I’ve seen. Really a fresh way of thinking of these things, thank you.

The evening examen not only helps me reflect on my day, but puts me to sleep better and more peacefully than any external stimuli.

Thank you. I was pleased to see that I had the sunlight and the walk in nature figured out already it has really helped me with better thinking and feeling. Open space is great for me too.

Starting the day with the hardest task and completing the day with the review and plan for the next day are the best things you can do to increase your life quality. Thank you Anthony this video helped massively.

Showing up and "Following through" - Aligning my intention with action. I'd be lying if I said, I don't know what to do! My self esteem is taking a hit! You were 💯on the money AV 💖💖💖🙏

For me daily nature walks were a game changer!!! Great vid

Omg, i felt that way the last couple months. Yesterday i finally pulled out of it. I like to lie in the sun. Walking is out though, I'm in a wheelchair. I do walk the dogs.

That's pretty useful. The bit about not having a win for the day is very insightful. How easy it is to define the routines of the day into a drone of just another day.

I just found your channel today for the first time and LOVE this video --> definitely subscribing! Biggest takeaway was the first thing you shared. Define “winning the day”. 🔥 Thank you so much for sharing this!

LOVE THIS=== I am going to focus on lowering my to-do list. I think it is too long.

I would also define winning as not just accomplishing something, but feeling satisfied or happy and doing things I find to be enjoyable that day. For me to move towards thoughts and activities that bring me content, enjoyment or whatever I feel I can attain for an improved mental state that day.

The one I need the most work and effort upon is waking up at around the same time every day, building a perfect routine has been a challenge for me but I believe 2024 is my year to nail it down to a solid T.

Great video. One of the few creators in this space that I really enjoy watching. One of my takeaways is changing the boring into the epic adventure. I think we tend to lose that childlike wonder and we forget that life is an epic adventure

Tremendous video. I’m bookmarking this to send to my coaching clients. Great advice that I live by.

Love everything about this! I’m glad I found this video and your channel 🤩

Thank you Anthony! for sharing these extremely valuable pieces of advice!. I appreciate your time!. 🙏

1 Quality sleep 2 exercise 3 healthy keto diet& intermittent fasting 4 meditation-hypnosis, visualisation etc 5 follow a routine

Thank you!!! For your life advice, Seeing my life as an adventure really shifts my mindset towards a more enjoyable daily life than i have ever imagined, have a great day everyone!

I needed this video. Thank you. I love your book suggestions aswell.

Extremely valuable! Thank you 🙏

I love the idea of making your to do‘s into epic tasks. I recently got the heroes journal and have been enjoying framing my day in terms of a quest, finding allies, fighting threats, and progressing towards an ultimate goal. It’s been very helpful in adjusting to a new job in a new city

Been watchn ut vids for years... u r 1st suscription ...thanks for thr relatable content bro

Good video man, especially the sunlight part. One point I'd put a disclaimer on, however. For people who struggle with any form of executive dysfunction like me... Fighting the big dragon first thing in the morning can be extremely daunting, which leads to procrastination, guilt, and burnout. At least for me personally, I've found doing all the small things first makes the big things way easier.

Thank you! today started as a bad day, but thinking about that a year and a half ago this would have been a good day really changed my pov and made me reconsider it

Loved this! Thank you so much. This is applicable to any season of life. My big dragon today was to have the entire exhaust system of my car replaced. Mission accomplished. I like the "one thing" concept. It provides purpose, but is not overwhelming. Thank you for that needed reminder to get sunlight. Great video.

Great video. I really liked the part about winning the day, it is incredible how everyday unimportant tasks leads you to leave aside the things that are really important for your development, it is as if one had the Pareto all wrong by default

You have a real gift of explaining things! Thank you

Define winning the day!!!! Love this. Rather than just going through a todo list that's never-ending, I like this approach. Thank you!!

I love your voice and communication style!!!!! Thank u

I think the best one is the first point. Just start small by waking up on time. Thankfully I was able to do it the last few days.

This was incredibly useful! Thank you so much.👏

I'm in a painful rut right now, but these tools of defining winning the day and reviewing it will help me, I'm sure, to get out of this bad place. For starters, I will put yoga and meditating into my day. Thanks so much for all of this! Regards

Fantastic video, thanks Anthony.

Thank you for sharing these tips 😊

"You are nothing but a big kid" haha so true. This video really resonated with me. My biggest take away is fighting the daily dragon and doing the things I promised myself I'd do. TY Anthony!

Really enjoyed your info , look forward to hearing more !

Mr anthony subscribed just because of ur first point. Never watched a single video of yours but thanks this will stay with me for life

Great practical advice. Thank you

Thanks for the advice, that sounds wise! And congrats to you: this video is fire! 🔥 People like me are seeing your channel for the first time and instantly subscribing, and leaving nothing but positive comments, and I've noticed that the RU-vid algorithm really likes to promote those 😊

Great video! 👍 Clearly laid out, helpful and practical advice. Much appreciated - thank you!

Great, realistic, fundamental blocking and tackling advice

Absolutely relevant- especially defining what a winning day looks like. Extremely helpful and I immediately wrote it down and discovered that.....wait for it..... I don't spend any time outside! And I need more sunlight! So that is going to be part of my successful day definition from now on. Thank you!!

I just get to see you for the first time. Love it. Kisses from Argentina ❤

Consistency has been my biggest challenge all my life. And, being consistently inconsistent doesn’t count ;)

just in time .. thank uuu

The last ten years I've hit most of these goals because I got an active dog whom I love. Walks, waking up, reflecting on what you've done... Taking care of someone else who likes to be outside and get up early has really helped me. It also helped me to be a confident relaxed alpha and I get be my playful kid self with my dog *Also, as a Pacific Northwesterner who mostly, happily goes into mole mode every winter, I've found vitamin d and occasional sunlamp use can really help if you're getting depressed for no obvious reason.

Thanks so much for the waking up bit. Not at 5 am or anything, but when YOU decide to based on our own goals. Amazing

Define what "winning the day" is for you. Thanks for the inspiring video!

preach it! these videos are the goat.

My dude your channel is a god send for motivational thinking ❤ Thank you so much for all that you do!

Thank you!!!!

Really good advice, thank you.

Thank you for this video.

Yo seriously dude thank you for this video! I liked and subscribed. This was very solid

Grateful for this video popping up in my recommendations. Excited to implement these tips, especially outlining what qualifies my day as a day won 🥇

I really enjoyed this video. I will definitely be incorporating these things into my life.

The thumbnail stood out & was pretty cool , just like the video!

First of all thanks Anthony for this video - even though most of the things are often mentioned in countless books and tutorials, the way you explained it all got to me on a different level for some reason. I'm definitely changing the wording from Eating the Frog to Slaying the Dragon - I love it! I've got a question though, because I'm not sure I understand one thing correctly - it's about Fighting the Dragon and Winning the Day - aren't these usually the same thing? In other words, does it mean you should always start the day with getting the most important thing done? Reason I ask is, usually when I plan my day and decide what's the Frog/Dragon, getting that one thing done counts as "Winning the Day"... and I very rarely start doing that first, because when I cross this off my list I noticed that I somehow tend to think about having completed the work day already and I let my mind do other, usually not that productive things. Can't say this is a bulletproof tactic for me really though and I'm willing to try a different method, especially now that I've started questioning if this is really the right way to plan my day... Have you got any real-life examples how these two could differ?

AV, you're the man!

Hi! I just found your channel and… THANK YOU!

sososo good!!! love te reframing concept!!! I do that sometimes and i have to be keen on making it a habit! also define winning the day and waking up with a win!!

these is a small wooden statue at The Menil Collection, Houston, of a warrior standing atop of his slain dragon that once had me transfixated upon it. It was astounding the depth of emotion this piece brung out of me. it was remarkable, encased in its glass singular exhibit box. omg. that pc showed so much emotion in the mans face

I really want to say thank you

Good stuff Anthony!! It was all helpful, but slaying my dragon first is what I really needed to hear.

Great video! Thank you

Getting outdoors and getting warmed from the sun. I get a burst of energy and it sets me in a positive mood.

Thank you my Brother 🥺 you motivated me so much to change my bad lifestyle

Wow!!! Great tips!!

This video was actually really helpful! Thank you for that, this is the first time I took notes during a video. Hope I can build these habits in 2024.

Great advice, thanks.

Great tips. Simple but very effective.

I keep a handwritten list of all the tasks I need to accomplish in the day. Something about seeing them in my own writing makes me feel more accountable to them.

I inculcated all these habits into my life but they fixed only 87.34012% of my problems.😣

Great video.. thanks😊

Refreshingly different content! Nice!
