For various reasons, the team has no movements in recent weeks. I had to change jobs after listening to jazze, so I gave time to handle these tasks. Sam is a little busy. While I want to deal with the CPS project, the current status is busy modifying various problems, and strive to give the customer a nice version before going online. I am very touched by a recent article. I decided to share it with my team.

It has been nearly two years since I decided to create the buffer application for the first time. In the past one and a half years, I had been busy with the previous startup project. At that time, I began to find some patterns that could affect your life during the startup process.

During that period, I learned the most important thing: When I was happy, I did my best. This is almost reflected in all aspects. If I am happy, I will be more productive in programming. I can better solve user problems and I find that I can focus more easily.

As far as I am concerned, I found that there are a few very good habits that keep me happy. And every time I feel depressed, these habits are a panacea that allows me to quickly restore my previous levels of happiness. The following are my 6 persistent habits:

1. Get up early

One of my favorite things about running a startup company is that I can try to change my daily routine.

Through experiments, I found that getting up early every day can make me feel energetic and happy. It can bring me a good day's start, which will almost lead to a good feeling for the rest of the day. After a while, I found that I was dependent on this feeling of "getting up early", which allowed me to make beautiful jobs and maintain a high degree of concentration. The Happiness Project's Gretchen Rubin

An article mentions similar experiences:

"I get up at every morning, even on weekends and holidays, Because ILike this."

It requires discipline to get up early every day, especially when to fall asleep. At present, my habit is to stop all things at and fall asleep. I enjoy the rest schedule. With it, I can get up at a.m. and find a fresh day.

2. daily fitness

"We found that people who exercise more often have more vigor and vitality than those who do not ." -
Amanda Hyde

In the past three years, exercise has changed from an occasional task to a weekly task. At first, I didn't know what to do in the gym. I consulted my brother, who is a private trainer. Then I went with a good friend several times, and soon I became fascinated.

After a period of time, I developed a solid habit of daily exercise. If I do not exercise for a day, I will lose something. Sticking to exercise makes me energetic, better ability to cope with various challenges at work. Recently, I found that exercise is a good habit of infrastructure. It paves the way for other aspects of your growth. I also found that exercise can give me a better quality of sleep.

3. Relax Yourself

"The richest, happiest, and most efficient life is to devote all effort to challenging things, while at the same time relaxing and supplementing yourself periodically ." -Loehr and Schwarz,
The power of full engagement

As I said before, the reason why I can get up at is that I have a habit of relaxing at night. I will go out for a walk at, along a road that I don't know how many times I 've walked. This is because I am familiar with this road. I walk every day without thinking about anything. This promotes the relaxation of thoughts.

While I was walking, various ideas entered my mind and stayed. I found this was a good phenomenon. Sometimes my mind is very interesting during the day. Sometimes I think that some changes should make me happier. After walking back, I felt very calm and relaxed. I went to bed and soon fell asleep. If you have just finished your work, close your notebook, and go to bed immediately, it will be difficult to sleep.

4. Help Others

Since the beginning of this year, I have found that you will be happier to help others. Some time ago, I often met some entrepreneurs who helped them solve their problems, but I didn't realize that this would make me happier. Until I read the maid:
A guide to developing life's most important skill, I finally linked my happy feelings with my activities-helping others.

I have read from this book the relationship between helping others and happiness and everything. Since then, I have been insisting on helping more entrepreneurs, from overcoming various difficult challenges in the process of helping them, to helping them find better ways to solve problems, this has brought me more happiness.

5. Learn New Technologies

"
Enter a state, concentrate on a task, and get peace and happiness from work. This is the flow status ." -
Leo babauta

During the development of the buffer application, I found the fact that I was happy most of the time. The key factor was that I was constantly discovering new challenges. It seems a bit incomprehensible to equate new challenges with happiness, but when I have been doing a job that I already know for weeks, I will find my happiness decreasing.

I think that learning new technologies can bring happiness in part because you need to concentrate on it so that you can learn it. The "stream" status has been proven to trigger happiness. In addition, by learning new knowledge, you can gain a lot of gains in steep learning curves in a short time. For example, I have been studying Android development in the last two weeks. I have learned a lot of incredible knowledge about this platform two weeks ago.

6. Prepare multiple ways to win

The above mentioned things all need to develop habits. I can do this most of the time. Every time I finish the above five points, I can have a wonderful day. I have a goal at work, and I also have a goal in my habits. I try to schedule one or two meetings every day or use skyke to help those who need help. I have said it in my blog before, but today I think it is necessary to repeat it:

"When you fully devote your ideals and energy to start a business, you may be frustrated by some uncertain external factors that you cannot control, this will affect your ability. So, what do you need? Join a rock climbing and fitness club. Improve the Quality of life outside of your work. Such activities. I suggest you join at least one fitness activity. When something bad goes off-for example, if your partner is leaving you-if you break your record or other records in the gym, you can still have a good weekend ."

If I am doing fitness in the morning, develop my buffer application during the day, and help two people at noon, then I have four chances to get a successful day. This is a very effective method.

What do you have to find a happy exercise or habit? I hope to hear from you.
