33 Small Habits for a High-Performance Life


THE GREAT LIFE PLAYBOOK

33 Small Steps for a High-Performance Life

You don’t need a full reset. You just need small, repeatable wins.


🔥 Why Small Habits Matter More Than Big Goals

High performers don’t just chase success. They design their lives to create it—on purpose, on their terms.

The GREAT Framework is your simple system to take back control of your mindset, habits, and results.
No hacks. No hype. Just real change, one small shift at a time.


🧩 What Is the GREAT Framework?

Each letter is a leverage point:

  • G = Gratitude + Goals
  • R = Relationships (Self, Others, Environment)
  • E = Energy + Equanimity
  • A = Aspire + Action
  • T = Time Optimization + Time Blocking

The best part? You don’t need to change everything at once. Just start with ONE small shift in ONE area.

G = GRATITUDE + GOALS

Gratitude – Rewires Your Brain for Success

 💡 Why it’s important: Your brain focuses on what you feed it. Gratitude shifts focus from stress to opportunity.

✅ Write 3 things you're grateful for every morning
✅ Say “thank you” to someone daily
✅ Reframe setbacks—ask, “What’s the lesson here?”

Goals - Clarity Beats Busyness

💡 Why it’s important: Without a target, you’re just spinning your wheels. Clarity turns effort into results.

✅ Set ONE key goal per day
✅ Define what “done” looks like before starting
✅ Review progress weekly and adjust

R = RELATIONSHIPS with Self, Others, Situations and Stuff

Self-Respect + Self-Trust

💡 Why it’s important: How you treat yourself sets the standard for how you treat others and how others treat you.

✅ Speak to yourself like a friend, not a critic.
✅ Keep promises to yourself (builds confidence).
✅ Give yourself permission to rest without guilt.

Others
Your Network Is Your Net Worth

💡 Why it’s important: The right people pull you up. The wrong ones drain you.

✅ Schedule time with people who energize you.
✅ Set clear boundaries with energy-drainers.
✅ Express appreciation—don’t assume they know.

Situations and Stuff
Your Environment Shapes Your Mindset

💡 Why it’s important: Clutter (physical or mental) slows you down. Simplify to amplify.

✅ Declutter one thing daily (desk, email, mind).
✅ Shift from “Why is this happening to me?” to “How can I grow from this?”
✅ Limit social media scrolling—it’s engineered to hijack your focus.

E = ENERGY + EQUANIMITY

Create, Manage & Optimize Energy, Not Just Time

💡 Why it’s important: You can’t perform at your best if you’re running on fumes.

✅ Move for 5 minutes every hour (breaks prevent burnout).
✅ Schedule “think time” so your brain isn’t running 24/7.
✅ Set phone-free zones. Your focus determines your future.

Equanimity - Calm Mind & Clear Decisions

💡 Why it’s important: Stress isn’t the problem — your response to it is.

✅ Take 3 deep breaths before reacting.
✅ Label emotions instead of suppressing them (“I feel X because of Y”).
✅ Keep a “win list” to remind yourself of past successes.

A = ASPIRE + ACTION

Aspire - Define What “Winning” Looks Like

💡 Why it’s important: If you don’t set your direction, life will do it for you.

✅ Write down your BIG vision (what do you really want?).
✅ Imagine your future self—what choices would they make today?
✅ Learn from someone 5–10 years ahead of you.

Action - Execution Over Perfection

💡 Why it’s important: Ideas don’t change lives — execution does.

✅ Take one uncomfortable action daily.
✅ Start before you feel ready.
✅ Review what worked, what didn’t, and adjust.

T = TIME OPTIMIZATION + TIME BLOCKING

Time Blocking - Own Your Schedule, or It Owns You

💡 Why it’s important: Structure creates freedom. Without it, distractions win.

✅ Block time for your top priorities before anything else.
✅ Schedule deep work in 90-minute sprints.
✅ Use alarms to remind you when to switch tasks.

Time Optimization - Make Time for What Truly Matters

💡 Why it’s important: The busiest people aren’t the most successful—the most focused ones are.

✅ Batch similar tasks (emails, calls, meetings).
✅ Use the 80/20 rule — focus on the 20% that drives 80% of results.
✅ Say “no” to things that don’t align with your goals.


🎯 YOUR NEXT STEP: PICK ONE & START NOW

✅ Choose ONE of the 33 steps. Do it for 7 days.
✅ Then come back and tell us what changed.
