Do you go to sleep at night with a list of plans for the next day only to rise early and find yourself pushing snooze when it’s time to rise and shine? I know I’m guilty of this, and I think it’s fair to say we all are. Why is this such a common issue? Because our present and future selves don’t always agree with one another! We may love the INTENT of our future goals, but we lack belief, desire and ability to act.
This doesn’t mean we don’t WANT to be successful - we all do! It just means we’re going about how we approach success and motivation the wrong way. Hence we need a simple system – Plan, Do, Review!
First, Plan. This means being intentional about how you would like to implement a change. Become more productive by cutting out TV and deleting social media apps or games from your phone. Improve eating habits by putting more fruits and vegetables towards the front of your refrigerator or help your finances by setting up automatic savings from your pay. Take whatever it is you are planning to do and map it out accordingly.
Next, Do. The pain of procrastination is often far worse than simply starting. So if you want to go for a run after work? Pack your gear, have your water ready, and a route pre-planned. Take small steps. They don’t have to be perfect. Spend time on you, Do the Do! Focus on how consistently you can do that rather than how well you complete the task in its entirety. The more we do this, the more likely we are to create a habit.
Lastly, Review. Look back over a week to see what you have done and what you could do better – then put that into place for the following week. If you struggle in one area but excel in the other, ask what you want to achieve next!
What goal have you been trying to achieve? Use these simple steps and implement them! Remember - the trick to getting ahead is getting started.
