It's time for a new video and with that some new habits to integrate into your life So you notice your day is filled with too many boring moments and too many unhealthy habits And you've clicked on this Psych2go video in search of some habits to add to your life and routine While you've come to the right place, not only will I give you some healthy habits But I'll give you some smart ones too. Here are six habits smart people have Number one read any chance you get Who doesn't love reading? Well, apparently a lot of people but it gets better after the first chapter. I promise If you start to read a book that makes you feel calm and relaxed After reading some of said book your train of thought may become more calm and relaxed Maybe you delve into a novel that is both thrilling and ambitious Then when you shut that book you can't help but have a more ambitious and exciting outlook Reading takes us somewhere new and puts us into someone else's shoes It's not only a good habit to develop because it can help relax you when the real world gets a bit tough But you may also learn a thing or two. You may just become a bit more intelligent with each chapter Number two know what time you are most productive and get working then Are you a night owl or a morning person? If you flinched at the word morning and relate more to a vampire than a rooster Then you should likely schedule some of your work for the evening not midnight, but evening Why well as much as the night owl as you may be it's best to stick to a regular sleep schedule Where you're mostly sleeping when it's dark out if you're a morning person schedule your work or active Hobbies bright and early and if you need a few hours to wake up But get drowsy by the time the sun is down the afternoon might be your best bet While it can be a good idea to change your schedule So you can get your work done earlier if you know you're simply not a morning person It's best to schedule your day around that known part of yourself Ease into your mornings as long as you're productive later three make a schedule and stick to it Now that you know when you're most productive get scheduling Work or go out during the afternoon if that works for you, but make sure you write it down Whether that's in a daily planner your phone or a piece of paper posted on a wall hold yourself Accountable by making a promise likely with a good old pen and paper number four Put away any distractions Do you find yourself distracted often? How often and it's time to put away those distractions Now that you have your productive time slotted you need to make sure it's actually productive by putting away your phone Let's be real here. It's the phone distracting you isn't it? By shutting off your phone or hiding any distractions, especially in a different room. You can get more work done faster Five try something new and go outside your comfort zone Smart people don't simply stay in their comfort zone for the rest of their lives. They try new things They let their curiosity lead them to new hobbies activities opportunities or places Don't tell yourself if a new and exciting opportunity arises Even if it's something new go for it. Try that new hobby even putting off learn that new skill Life is too short to put your passions desires and curiosities on a waiting list Every day challenge yourself to something new big or small Make it a habit to not be afraid to make a new habit Start with this one perhaps and number six value being productive over being busy Smart people are productive people So if you find yourself scheduling time to get work done only to work at the bare minimum during that time It's time to try something new if you're not getting your own work done at a good pace Then maybe there is a better way to approach this new project or study for this new test Value being productive over being busy You can live your whole life being busy and find minimum change years down the line But if you choose to be productive and work at your best self as your best self Then your life can be somewhere entirely different in a few years Go for your goals work hard at what you do or rather find what method works for you And you may not have to work as hard as you thought Things get easy when you know who you are and what's best for you So who are you and how will these habits change you?
