In the weight lifting world you’ll hear the acronym PR all the time. PR is of course: “Personal Record”. I’ve really come to embrace PRs, not just in my weight lifting and exercise, but my overall life. I love to set Micro-PRs for things like shortest time to do a certain task in my job. Overall it makes me better and more efficient, and I can push those out over time and get progressively better in my career.

I also try to keep an eye on my negative PRs. I like to keep a lid on my longest time between gym visits, or the longest time before visiting my parents or other family. I’m also not great at billing my customers, so I keep an eye on that too. Constantly improving your positive personal records and keeping negative ones in check will consistently improve your life.

PR Every Day

Adam Glass came up with the Twitter hashtag #PREveryDay. Basically you can tweet your personal record that you set for that day and keep a record of your constant improvement.  There is even a twitter bot that you can follow that will tweet out everyones PRs based on that hashtag. It’s very motivational to follow that account, because you can see the ways in which others are making perpetual progress.
