Here are the next 5 tips...
Tip#6: Create an environment of meditation and/or concentration – This might be a place of worship, a jogging route, or your drive to/from work… but you NEED a place to think that is quiet. Wherever and whenever it is, it shouldn't be filled with any music or outside distractions of any kind. Being organized can be greatly facilitated by quiet and uninterrupted thought.
Tip#7: Choose your company deliberately – Not to be confused with surrounding yourself with people like YOU are... instead, try to make friends with the type of people you want to be LIKE. The more you do, the more like them you'll become. If you want to be a punctual person, hang out with people who deem that important. If you want to be more spiritual, hang out with spiritual people. If you want to be more organized, hang out with organized people. You get the idea. The opposite is also true though. If you want to be highly productive, motivated and positive, it won't help you to hang out with people who are lazy or pessimistic. This REALLY works, and it's the reason many people are the way they are... for better or for worse.
Tip#8: Know & embrace your limitations – Try not to bite off more that you can chew. Learn to say NO.
Tip#9: Create & enforce a lunch time "Power-Hour" – Deliberately chose something to work on for ONE hour right in the middle of your workday - during your lunch. Use this hour to research something you would have time for otherwise. Use it to move closer towards a particular project, or subject of study. Just one hour every day for 5 days per week equates to 260 hours of intense and deliberate personal project time!! That's 10.83 days!! Use this time well, and you'll have MORE time at home with the family.
Tip#10: Set challenging but reachable goals –
- Write goals down (if they’re not written, they’re just wishes)
- Break down your goals into bite-size pieces
- Revisit your goals often (weekly is best)
- Revise your goals when necessary
