Who Am I?

My name is S.J. Scott. I run the blog Develop Good Habits .

The goal of my site is to show how continuous habit development can lead to a better life. Instead of lecturing you, I provide simple strategies that can be easily added to any busy life. Its been my experience that the best way to make a lasting change is to develop one quality habit at a time.

For most of my life, I struggled with procrastination . In high school and college, I was that guy who crammed the night before a big test. My papers were chronically late. And I couldnt remember to follow through on the simplest of promises.

It was 2003 when I finally did something about this problem . When I first started my online business, I discovered a simple truth: You are 100% responsible for your life. This one statement made me realize that if I wanted to get results with my business, I had to first change who I was on the inside. Over a course of a few years, I read and implemented information from a variety of books/websites on personal productivity: Getting Things Done , 43 Folders, Zen Habits,Eat the Frog , The Success Principles, The War of Art and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People . Plus, I tested a variety of different tactics in the hopes that they would help me overcome procrastination and take action on a consistent basis.

The result?

I currently run a successful Internet business, which includes 37 published Kindle books.

Although I havent fully mastered personal productivity, I feel like Ive come a long way in the past few years. All of this is due to creating habits that focus on getting results. In other words, I formed a number of anti -procrastination habits.
