the OAK Journal Method
I developed the journal to share over 20 years of collective experience that will empower you to accomplish whatever you set out to do. In this book, you will find the best parts of the most significant business books from the last 100 years. I worked to combine the best processes and habits to help achieve even the loftiest goals.
Why all top performers journal
Journaling is proven to provide benefits from boosting creativity and increasing happiness. That's why it's the final step in the 10.10.10 morning routine in the OAK Journal methodology. Here are just a few of the proven benefits from a consistent practice.
10/10/10 - The best way to start your day
How we start, each day is paramount to how successful we will before the day is over. You don't just roll out of bed late, eat some leftover cold pizza and end up curing cancer that day. Accomplishing your goals and performing to full potential requires intention. In studying entrepreneurs, world leaders, and enlightened beings, they all have something in common.
Creating a meditation practice
“I don’t know how to meditate” isn’t an excuse to skip this step. The other unacceptable excuse is “I don’t have time to meditate.” With apps like Calm or Harmony, you can start meditating in minutes. Transcendental Meditation (www.tm.org) has the most scientific studies documenting the benefits, but just by quieting your mind daily it begins to unwind the stress we carry in our bodies.
Fanatical discipline - building your willpower
Good habits are foundational for happiness — you need willpower. It’s easy to give credit to willpower when you successfully build a new habit, but it’s also equally obvious to chalk up a failure due to a lack of willpower. Regardless of your thoughts on willpower; it is a real thing. It should be continuously strengthened, and it does have a direct impact on your ability to build a new habit.
