The 30 second Habit That Improves Every Relationship in My Life
Summary
- Every day, I have a habit that improves my relationships by taking just 30 seconds to reflect.
- At the end of the day, I review what happened and think about the positive things people did, like their hard work or any significant events in their lives.
- I use my calendar to remind myself of the day’s events and the people involved, which helps trigger memories.

How To Take Action
I would suggest starting with a simple daily routine that takes just 30 seconds but makes a big difference. At the end of each day, take a moment to think about the good things people did or significant events that happened.
A good way of doing this is by glancing at your calendar. This can help you remember who you interacted with and what happened. You'll be surprised at how this can trigger memories of positive moments or efforts people made.
After reflecting, send a quick text to let them know you're thinking positively about them or to acknowledge their efforts. The messages don’t need to be elaborate; just a short note like, “You did great today!” or “Thinking of you” can have a big impact.
This habit can help strengthen your relationships. It shows appreciation and keeps you connected with people, whether they're your team members, friends, or family. This practice also fosters a positive culture, which is beneficial for both personal and professional growth.
By spending just a few seconds daily, you create a ripple effect of positivity and connectedness. It requires very little time and no money, yet yields high value in building and nurturing your relationships.
