- Talk to One Pretty Girl/Guy You Don’t Know Once a Day – You don’t have to ask for a phone number, just chat and see what happens.
- Email or Tweet one Famous Person Once a Day – 99% of the time they won’t respond, but that still means that 4 times a year a famous person will write you back
- Send One Email to the CEO of a Local Business Once a Day – Don’t ask for a job, just send out a variety of messages and see if they would be willing to meet you.
- Shoot an Old Friend a Message About a Memory You Guys Shared Once a Day – Rekindling an old flame is as easy as typing “Remember when…”
- Reach Out to One Person on Instagram/CouchSurf that Lives a Life you Find Interesting Once a Day – There are so many cool people out there that you can connect with that aren’t on an online dating site.
- When You Walk Repeat “I am Awesome” Over and Over Again – Will give you Super Hero Confidence
- Look in Mirror in the Morning and Just Laugh at Yourself Once a Day – It will remind yourself not to take yourself too seriously
- Set a Timer For Daily Tasks So You Do them Faster – I set my timer for 2 minutes to get out of bed, 5 minute shower, 4 minute get dressed and 7 minute breakfast.
- Watch One YouTube Lecture on (History, Science, Economics, etc.) and Take Notes in a Google Doc Once a Day – When you watch something educational, take notes, it helps you retain the information. Don’t worry about whether the notes look sexy.
- Ask Someone for Something You Don’t Think They Will Give You Once a Day – You would be surprised on how often you’re wrong. (Use this for opportunities not material goods)
If you make 1–10 daily habits your life will look radically different in a year. The compound effect of reaching out to that many people will have you forming relationships with people that you can help you in unforeseeable ways.
You could connect with a CEO hit it off and get offered a job. You could speak to someone who looks interesting on Instagram and get married. Taking notes on some philosophical concept could help you gain insight into yourself.
Do I do these things daily? I do some, but not all. I’ve done all these actions on different occasion and had amazing things happen. After writing out this list, I will resolve to do all ten everyday for a year!
Let’s do this together, checking back with each other in a year and share some of the crazy experiences that we had happen along the way!
