Small Habits Make the Man

The famous proverb "Habits make the man" means that the repeated actions we practice daily shape our character and determine our future. Small habits that we start with have a cumulative effect over time, and become an integral part of our lives and personalities.

But how are habits formed?

Habits are formed by repeating certain behaviors over a specific period of time, until these behaviors become an integral part of our daily lives and turn into habits. Habits can be formed in different ways, here are some examples:

• Learning: When we learn something new and practice it regularly, we form a habit. For example, if you want to learn to play the guitar, you need to practice playing the guitar regularly until it becomes part of your daily routine.

• Repeated exposure: When we are repeatedly exposed to the same certain behaviors, we tend to form habits towards these behaviors. For example, if you have breakfast at the same time every day, you may develop a habit of having breakfast at that time.

• Incentives: Incentives play an important part in shaping habits. When we feel satisfied with the result we get from a certain habit, we tend to practice it regularly. On the other hand, when we feel frustrated with a certain habit, we tend to quit it.

So, it is important to consider forming and working on building effective and positive habits, and leaving behind habits that hinder your progress towards your goals. These small habits can have an impact on your professional future and personal life.

But how can a small habit affect a person's life?

Small habits have a significant impact on a person's life as they represent behavioral patterns that are practiced daily and almost automatically, affecting all aspects of their life from mental and physical health to productivity and goal achievement.

Here are some ways in which small habits affect human life:

• Improving mental and physical health: by setting small healthy habits that can be applied daily, such as waking up early, exercising, and eating healthy, a person can improve their mental and physical health.
• Improving productivity: when you have effective and regular habits in organizing your time, prioritizing tasks, and managing the balance between personal and professional life, it becomes easy to achieve goals and increase productivity.
• Developing self-confidence: when goals are set and achieved consistently through small habits, a person can increase their self-confidence and feel empowered and independent in their life.

We want to maintain productivity throughout the year, but Ramadan comes with its spirituality and beautiful rituals that require physical and mental presence to perform religious duties and take advantage of prayer times. So how can we balance between fulfilling our religious and professional obligations?

Ramadan is a great opportunity to achieve spiritual growth, internal purification, and strengthen our relationship with God, but at the same time, this month can be a challenge to maintain productivity and achieve daily life goals. Therefore, some tips can be followed to achieve a balance between religious performance in Ramadan and maintaining productivity and achieving goals, including:

• Setting a specific time for religious duties: You can set a schedule for performing religious duties such as prayer and recitation of the Quran and allocate a specific time for them without affecting your daily routine.
• Setting realistic goals: You can set achievable goals that align with your work schedule and balance them with your religious duties.
• Time management: You can prioritize your tasks and manage your time efficiently to accomplish your goals and fulfill your religious duties without sacrificing one for the other.
• Prioritization: It is important to prioritize tasks and leave those that can be delayed during this month to relieve pressure and focus on necessary tasks.
