We
do what not to realize our dreams? Work hard and harder by the day. But
what is it that doesn't let it happen? Yes, the lack in consistency and
planning.
Read on to find out how you could organize yourself to
achieve that long awaited dream of yours and still have time for
yourself:
1) RISE EARLY - Probably the oldest advice
one can give. Believe it or not it still holds true, even in this world
of 24X7 routines. Rise Early, you will have at least 2-3 hours in spare
:).
2) EXERCISE - Any good day should always start with a
simple body flexing routine. You don’t need to build muscles just a
small walk round the block would do. Exercise will help you focus and
get rid of that early morning sloth.
3) STOP MULTI-TASKING
- Absolutely forbidden!!! DO NOT Multi-task. However, at times you
might develop a great degree of desire to do multiple things at a time,
but don’t give in to it. To help you realize, why you should not
multi-task, here is a small game to play.
Take two pieces of
paper start writing table of 7 in one and 13 in another. Keep doing it
till multiples reach at 30. Don’t forget, you have to write tables
alternately, like 7 X 1 then 13 X 1, then 7 X 2 then 13 X 2 and so on.
You will agree with me, once you try doing the same with one table at a
time.
4) MAKE A TO-DO LIST - Always make one. You
don’t have to write everything but definitely mention the most important
ones. At the end of the day, a successfully tick marked list will give
you a sense of satisfaction, an unchecked one will give you reasons to
try harder or at least organize better.
5) MAKE A MUST TO-DO LIST - This should be made in bold letter and red ink. These are your unavoidable day to day tasks.
6) “ME ONLY” TIME-
Keep an hour or two just for yourself in your day. This way you won’t over spend with yourself, but always have enough for you as well.
7) DON’T DO ANYTHING WHILE YOU ARE EATING-
Eat when you eat, keep the work away. Grab a buddy or partner sit with
him/her and have that much awaited delectable meal of yours. Don’t
discuss anything, just savor the food. Remember, it’s one of the basic necessities of life and it’s got to be satisfying.
8) MAKE SHORT TERM (DAILY) GOALS -
Every day goals help you focus on things you want to do most, in life.
Goals are not to-dos, instead they are your achievable and measurable
steps which help you climb the ladder of success to your long term
ventures.
