Consistency is important. It makes little things have a big effect long-term.
If you smoke one cigarette, you will not die. If you smoke a pack a day, you will die from it one way or another.
If you read one book, you will not be rich from it. But if you read one of the right books every two weeks for 20 years, you will surely be very successful.
This month marks the 17th anniversary of Think Daily!
Besides reading Think Daily each morning, what do you do consistently?
I think it has been at least 15 years
You got me! I was so disappointed!
Since 2012. Thank you for your wisdom and guidance. Happy Easter. Happy Passover.
It’s been a little over 2 years. Around the same time, I started consistently getting up an hour earlier to write, or read about how to write. Lately I also watch soe in the early morning. And I fell for the April Fools joke?! Happy Anniversary to Think Daily!
I read spiritual daily readings in the morning as well as yours. That needs a steady daily inventory as well. Its all Good!
Yeah, you got me!
Glad you’re back, Larry.
Its been a little over two years with Think Daily and its made me a better person; which has helped my life, my family, my business.
When I read you were moving on I was saddened but excited for you thinking you were going to focus on your racing passion and sooner than later you’d be back with another epic journey to chronicle. You got me!!!!
You got me good. I’ll have to admit that I was more than a little bummed out. I enjoy reading both each day.
I have been reading Think Daily for coming up on 6 years.
Larry, I’ve been reading your Think Daily for 10 years and enjoy them very much. I’m grateful you take the time to keep giving back!!
Been reading through the bible yearly for approximately the last 30 years…
Yes – you were playin’ with my emotions!
Congratulations!
I’ve been a subscriber since the inception, or since the day I learned about Think Daily. I consistently have a list, mental or on paper, of my BIG 3 (tasks/appointments/projects) that I MUST get done or attend that day. I also consistently check my schedule for the next day to mentally start preparing for that. They are daily habits now.
Happy Anniversary!
I wish I could remember exactly how long I’ve been a subscriber but it’s at least since 2017 so about 9 years! I save my favorites of your messages in an e-mail folder and the oldest one I have is July 2017. Around that time I also listened to your audio book “The Highest Calling” and started my own Blue Notebook!
In addition to reading your messages my daily habits consist of waking up to an alarm clock 6-days per week. After waking I listen to the Bible most mornings, often while making my bed.
I groom myself every morning and then dress appropriately for the day.
These habits may seem dull and mundane but those who do not get up on time, care for themselves and dress appropriately for the day will find themselves falling behind in everything in life.
Admiral William H. McRaven said, “If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.” Here is his full speech which I highly recommend everyone listen to! Very inspirational!

It’s great to see you back again Larry!
It occurred to me last night that it was April Fools’ Day. About 12 hours after my heart sunk in despair at the news I would have no more thing daily to look forward to every week day morning. I’ve been a subscriber since the very first publication 17 years ago. Thank you for all you do for those looking to make a difference in our world!
I have been listening for 16 years.This is also how long I have been consistently working for you and CT Basement Systems.
Congrats on 17 Years!! Haha, I laughed when you confirmed it was a prank!
Congrats on 17 years of consistency! Every day, I have a push-up routine in order to remain a somewhat fit dad, a foreign language app I complete drills with, and I pray the Rosary. The glaring omission is reading… one day I’ll have time for books again.
4-5 years now. I cannot even remember how I can across think daily, but am beyond grateful I did!
I also fell for your joke and was saddened by it. That tells me (and you) how important and VALUABLE I find your daily posts. Thank you, Larry!
Very Funny! Whew I was so sad!
Marsha
Congratulations Larry, the act is the reward in many cases, and you will never know many -most- of the people you have touched in this, and the benefit they have gotten from your efforts. Really take a moment and reflect on the genuine meaning the work has to others as well of course to yourself.
If I was going to go over the top a little bit, I would say you are ‘one of the good ones’.
2 years.
Since ~2017 when you presented at the Mitsubishi dealer meeting in Dallas.
2 years
I had a feeling it was an April Fool’s Day joke haha.
I’ve been a subscriber since 2017 when I first saw your Into The Dust movie which inspired me very much. Ever since then I have been a fan not missing a single day of your posts even if I don’t get to read them until later in the day.
Congratulations on 17 years and I look forward to reading more and more posts.
I had signed up to your email only about a week ago, so I am quite relieved to see your “retirement” was an April Fools joke! I first heard about you from your video with Noah Kagan. So far, the emails have been genuinely inspiring. I’m excited to see how things change as I continue to read them consistently.
I have been eagerly reading for about a year!
By the way, texted Tyler S immediately asking if it was an April Fools joke. I would have been heartbroken. Keep it up please and also keep recommending other reading as well!
Consistently prioritizing and optimizing sleep, diet, exercise, as well as improving personally and professionally.
Just over 4 years.
Almost fell for it , but an hour later decided you wouldn’t end that way . Your wisdom and questioning have been enlightening
We talk about time management, and we talk about diet and physical fitness. If we add those three things together we get energy management.
We all have the same amount of time. What we really want is to feel good and have enough energy throughout our day to do what we want.
We don’t want to wake up tired. We don’t want to run out of gas at 4pm.
If we feel good, we can take on anything.
Life is good when we feel good.
Lately I have been optimizing for energy management – not how much weight I lift, how far I run, or how much of ________ I can endure.
I want to feel good and have energy each day.
Part of having energy, besides eating well, exercise and good sleep is identifying the people, activities and places that energize you and prioritizing them. Having a goal that turns you on generates energy.
How much energy do you feel these days?
What can you do to have more energy and feel good each day?
“Last post!” I hope that is not true…but if it is, thank you for sharing your perspective.
Thanks for taking the time for this blog for 17 years, I’ll miss reading it as part of my morning routine!
A little sad that this might be your last Think Daily message. Thank you for all the motivation and inspiration over the years — your words were always a great start to my day. Wishing you all the best.
This your last post???
April Fools!
I hope this is an April Fools event 😊I guess we will find out today or tomorrow
I have enjoyed the Journey – thanks Larry!
Oh no! The last Think Daily! was my first thought. Then realized it is April 1st. Hopefully it is not true and we’ll see you again tomorrow. But it does make me appreciate all the time and effort you put into these. Thanks Larry!
Today I am grateful for Larry Janesky. Thank you.
April Fools 😝
Sad to see you go, thank you for everything!!
Just so I say it Thanks. I do use think daily as a “get started tool”. April 1?
Thanks for all the good and sometimes the slap in the face messages. I appreciate all the lessons learned. This was not a waste of your time.
THANK YOU!
I’m sad but i read some other comments and “APRIL FOOLS”
People can be a large part of our energy, or lack thereof. There are people in our lives who are energy givers and then there are energy takers. We should prioritize time spent with the givers vs. the takers. For me, the biggest energy givers in my life are my wife and children. I can be drained after a long day’s work but when I get home and am greeted by my family it’s like catching a second wind!
Happy April everyone and glad this isn’t your last post Larry! That was a good one!
Thanks so much for managing your time over the last 17 years to share inspiration and wisdom with your readers! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the posts and will miss them. Wishing you the very best!
Cheers with gratitude!
Good one Larry! Totally forgot it was April fools day!
Happy April Fools!
I hope this is an April Fools joke. I will check tomorrow like always.
Thank you for all you insight through the years!
No April Fool here. Thank you for all you do!
Assuming that the first of April has no impact!!! Thanks for your time and effort
God bless!!
I am thankful you are continuing to share your time with us Larry. As a fellow dirt biker I appreciate the humor!
I was surprised for a second but then remembered the date. Haha April Fool’s!
Love this post. Then I read the bottom section. Is this really your last post?
Well thank you for sharing your experiences and wisdom. You made an impact on me and I imagine on others. Take good care. Delfin Ward
If you want to earn more, you have to learn more.
I developed a habit of reading or listening to voices of value, and it meant everything to my career.
The things I learned had a very long shelf life – I could use them for decades or forever.
Do you learn everyday?
From who?
Can you suggest some audio books?
Yes, I take every opportunity to learn things that will be beneficial to my life in some way. I’ve read the classics from Dale Carnegie (How to Win Friends and Influence People) and Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich) , also John C. Maxwell (Developing the Leader Within You), Steven R Covey (7 Habits of Highly Effective People) and Zig Zigglar. I enjoy the books and newsletters of James Clear (Atomic Habits). I have also read Start with Why by Simon Sinek, Getting Things Done by David Allen, Eat That Frog! By Brian Tracy (and several more of his titles), and Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki. All of these have great information to improve our lives!
I’m a lifelong learner and enjoy acquiring knowledge that will help me help my customers and co-workers. I find that many of the ideas I learned long ago from people like Earl Nightingale, Zig Ziglar and Eli Goldratt are as valid today as when I first read or heard them.
So true, Larry. Wish I understood this sooner. This concept/mindset needs to be placed in front of high school and college students. I’ve learned from countless people: writers, coaches, leaders and many folks in the CN Network! I’m a fan of Andy Stanley and Patrick Lencioni, though there are plenty of others, too. If people don’t already know about this podcast, I encourage them to listen to The Learning Leader by Ryan Hawk.
Go, Austin!
I learn everyday from Think Daily.
The very top people took full responsibility for their life outcomes. They knew that if they blamed others, they would give their power away to them.
They looked at what they were doing to cause the results they were getting, and if they didn’t like it, they controlled the controllables and changed what they were doing, not doing, who and where they were hanging around, and what they were learning and paying attention to in order to change the results they were getting.
They didn’t wait for anyone to “let them”. They just didn’t let anyone stop them.
Your life and your situation – take full responsibility.
We are also very thankful for Joe. He’s a very efficient Crawl foreman with zero call backs. He’s been with our company for over 7 years now, and he fits the culture like no other! He’s a great dad and an awesome family man, too!
Great shoutout to Joe Surko in Indy – the BEST!!!
Those who “fix the blame” rather than fixing themselves (or the problem) will have to live a life of blame fixing as the problems will continue to persist. If we accept responsibility and fix the problems then we will be much happier as a result!
