Everyone talks about New Year’s resolutions.

But what if I told you summer is actually the best time to build habits that stick?

Think about it. While everyone else is using vacation as an excuse to abandon everything good they’ve built, you’re doubling down.

That’s not just discipline. That’s competitive advantage.

The Summer Paradox

Last month, I was at a conference in Miami. Hotel gym at 6 AM? Empty. Hotel bar at 6 PM? Packed.

Here’s what I noticed. The people crushing it in business weren’t the ones “unwinding” every night. They were the ones who found ways to stay consistent, even on the road.

They weren’t perfect. But they were intentional.

And that made all the difference.

Your Summer Habit Stack

Want to stay sharp while everyone else gets sloppy? Try this.

For Your Body:

• Hotel gym hack: Use it as your quiet workspace before meetings. Get a workout AND clear headspace.
• Pack resistance bands. They take up zero luggage space and work anywhere.
• Choose one non-negotiable daily move. Even if it’s just 50 pushups.

For Your Mind:

• Read for 15 minutes before checking your phone in the morning. Vacation or not.
• Use travel time for podcasts that actually teach you something.
• Journal one win from each day. Momentum compounds, especially when you track it.

For Your Work:

• Block 30 minutes of deep work before “vacation mode” kicks in.
• Use the change of scenery to tackle creative projects you’ve been avoiding.
• Network like you mean it. Summer events are goldmines if you show up prepared.

The Real Secret

Summer isn’t about perfection. It’s about proving to yourself that you can adapt without abandoning your standards.

When you maintain good habits during the season of temptation, everything else feels easier.

September rolls around, and while others are “getting back on track,” you’re already ahead.

Quick Reflection

What’s one habit you want to maintain this summer that would make you proud come fall?

AI Boost: Drop this into ChatGPT: “Here’s a habit I want to maintain this summer: [insert habit]. Given my summer schedule and potential obstacles, what’s a simple system to stay consistent without being rigid?”

Your summer habits are your fall advantage.

Stay consistent. Stay sharp. Stay Savage.
