If you are are going to get into trading seriously or at least more seriously.
The crucial thing you need to do immediately is to develop a daily routine.
You wake up!
Check prices and trades immediately.
(take a leak or poop if you have to, we all know how that goes)
Make breakfast!
Check your favorite news headlines.
Finish your breakfast!
Check your trades if you have any.
Do a chore or go to work!
Think about what you have already learned today.
Eat lunch!
Think about what you want to learn in the future.
Finish your chore or finish going to work!
Relax and distract yourself from all things money-related.
Eat your dinner!
Check prices, check the news, check trades, and get something new ready to learn.
Get ready for bed!
Learn your ass off which oftentimes involves checking prices, charts, trades, the news, and watching videos.
Go to bed!
Now when you wake up try your best to repeat yourself as best as you can.
Do not be disappointed if you forget to do something because guess what?
Tomorrow is a new day!
Just try again giving it your best with all you have.
Of course, don't do anything that's going to cost you your job.
As well as, don't do anything that will put off normal chores or errands.
Never practice bad hygiene either.
(It's okay to take a leak or a poop as long as you wash your hands)
To make good financial decisions you will want to feel good and look good!
Be the best you that you can be.
Most importantly, take a break!
Treat trading almost like it is a small part-time job investing.
Or better yet, make it your favorite hobby.
Develop a routine!
Pick the days you want to work & days you want to go live a normal life.
It's really easy to get sucked into this money game and the worst part about getting sucked in.
Is that when people get in too deeply, they tend to get impatient, overthink too often, and start taking bad risks they would not have taken otherwise.
It is always good to walk away and take a break!
Even if it means spending a week away, or a quick smoke break.
Maybe play a new video game for a few hours.
Watch a new movie a friend told you about recently.
The most important part of developing your trading routine is to know when to break out of your routine.
It develops better patience and oddly enough your brain will thank you later with better trade decisions.
