ORGANISE TO SUCCEED!!
Why is organising yourself a key for success in today’s life.
Life tips
Success means different things to different people, depending on what they wish to achieve. In today’s world social media plays a very important role in everyone’s life as people are pretty much addicted to it and forget that its not real but its just a reel.
By watching successful people on social media, fans try to emulate them but fail to keep up with it as it requires plenty of things like dedication, consistency etc. To be successful we have a wide range of options in this digital era, one can just be successful by having a phone with good camera and obviously talent will be a key factor. But, success is not a one day job or a single task, it is a continuous process of consistent effort with improvisations. If you are consistent and improvising your work then success is not far from you.
So, how can you stay consistent is the major question for everyone as people start but fail to finish as they lose hope during the process. The basic answer is that you can stay consistent by organising yourself.
Here are my 5 tips to organise yourself to be consistent and successful:
- Create a realistic plan to reach your goal:
This is the most common initial step for organising yourself or achieve something and this is where you need to focus more as you may fail if your plan fails. Most people just create a very strict plan by avoiding areas of their happiness assuming that if you need anything then you need to sacrifice something so they sacrifice their happy space and try to work on achieving their goal. Thats one of the main reason for failure as you tend to feel unhappy down the line.
Your plan must be realistic, you should know what you need and what you cant sacrifice. Plan your day or your month accordingly with time for yourself and your family too. Yes it may be a long plan but you won’t be unhappy through out the process and you will be motivated as you will be happy.
2. Track your activities.
Tracking your activities is very important when you are following a process as it allows you to have a clear visibility on your tasks from your plan and the status of it. It allows you to understand where exactly you stand with respect to your plan and what are the next steps to complete.
3. Avoid distractions and stay focused.
Learn to avoid distractions while you are on your task, distractions affect on the quality of your work. Always stay focused while you are on your task and give your 100%. You can always relax yourself once you complete your task or your schedule. Distractions might be using your phone or interaction with your friends or family while working. There are several techniques that teach how to stay focused and avoid distractions to improve your productivity such as pomodoro technique.
4. Pause, Feedback & Resume/Restart.
One of the important step in organising yourself is to know when to pause, pausing helps you to analyse the outcome of your effort and get feedback of everything that you did from the word go. At this step, if you feel that your plan is working out and you can see progress then you can simply resume your activities. But, if you really feel its not working out or something is missing then this is the right time to identify the root cause of the mistakes and try to work on your plan again or if you feel that this path is not right for you then simply restart with a new plan of action. Remember that most of the valuable inventions that we are currently using were invented in a process of inventing something else.
5. Surround yourself with the right people.
Though your plan is to achieve something for yourself an individual or to achieve something as a group, having a right team is very important. People around us and their thoughts play a huge impact on us, it should either help you with their expertise on achieving your tasks or emotionally to motivate you. It is also critical to recognise and avoid those around you who are either purposefully or accidentally attempting to distract or obstruct your progress.
These are my top 5 tips to stay organised to achieve consistency that can help you to achieve your goals and be successful.
