# How to create the right habits

“The mechanic who wishes to perfect his work must first sharpen his tools.” - Confucius

<br>

In both work and life, your greatest tool is your ability to build habits — specifically positive habits that declutter + destress tasks.&#x20;

<br>

All that’s to say: Productivity & time management skills can be honed.&#x20;

<br>

The best productivity habits share a few characteristics:&#x20;

<br>

1\) They’re realistic to maintain.&#x20;

<br>

2\) They’re systems that leave room for the unexpected.&#x20;

<br>

3\) They manage + account for all of the moving parts in life.&#x20;

<br>

The goal of healthy habit-building is simple: Get shit done. Period.&#x20;

<br>

But, at @Smarty, we get that everyone in school + in the workforce has realized the same unfortunate thing — goals alone aren’t enough.&#x20;

<br>

That’s why we’re here to help you create great habits & systems.&#x20;

<br>

When a goal seems impossible or falls through, your systems are there to catch you.
