Greetings Everyone,

I am trying to put together a list of things that a man should do every single day. Anything from simple, mundane tasks to more demanding and/or abstract personal development type suggestions will be much appreciated. Eventually I'd like to compile all of them and attempt to hold myself to as many of the ideas as possible.


I'll start with some basic ones that I try to live by:

-Hygiene: shower, make sure your nails are trimmed, brush your teeth, and shave (or ensure that facial hair is presentable).

-Have a plan for accomplishing whatever needs to be done in your day.

-Be informed on the news. Know what's happening in the world.

-Exercise, even if only for 15-20 minutes.

-Drink plenty of water.

-Be friendly with everyone you encounter. A smile can go a long way in improving someone else's day.

-Be mindful of when/where/with whom you use profanity.

-Stand up straight. 

-Learn something new. 

-Laugh.

Great list! Mine is similar with the addition of kissing & hugging my wife and sons and telling them I love them

Don't forget that......and never stop doing that, or someday you might end up like me.... Old(63) divorced, and have your grown-up children thousands of miles away.

Shit, Shave, Sleep?

 

I am unfamiliar with this?

Shit, Shower, Shave. In that order.  Only advice my grandfather ever gave me. 

Shit, shower, shave, do pushups.

Would that be 'S3P'?

It's crucially important to remember not only that phrase which be "shit, shower, shave", but also to do it in that order. Because if you shower, and then realize you have to shit, well then you just wasted your shower. and showering before shaving is always a good pregame ritual. It's kind of like a never ending cycle...
