Dear reader,
Today is a good day to keep up with your goal pursuit, you are getting there. Keep being consistent.
If you are struggling with being consistent is because you keep PROCRASTINATING.
Iāve learnt a lot from this book āEat that frogā by Brian Tracy.
The book highlights great ways to stop procrastinating.
Hereās the part I can never forget and helps me to keep going, in my success journey.
šDiscipline yourself to begin immediately and persist until the task is complete before you step into the next.
āFor the time being no discipline brings joy, but seems sad and painful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness [right standing with God and a lifestyle and attitude that seeks conformity to Godās will and purpose].ā
āāHeb 12:11
If you can discipline yourself enough to finish one task at a time, then you would have that much worry of complaining that there is no time.
I remember back then in school, when I always feel like time was too short for me to do all what I have to do all at once, but then again I asked myself,
Why the rush?
When you can still take it one at a time an still get same results.
So I sat down and made calculations, we have 24hrs in a day
Had to spilt 24hrs into all the task I had for the day into;
ā”ļøCleaning time, (Cleanliness is next to Godliness)šāļø
ā”ļøMeditation time ( A quiet time with God is very important, he created us for fellowship and he wants to build an intimate relationship with his own.)
ā”ļøStudy time : (Study to show yourself approved, school is not scam, donāt let people fool you into later regret, my darling.
ā”ļøCounseling time( Because I was a student leader in my school at the time this was part of my responsibility)
ā”ļøWorking time(online marketing)
ā”ļøLeisure time (eating/replying chats) ā”ļøImpromptu meetings* (of course those meetings will obviously shoot out in between your schedule as a leader and you have no choice than to respond to that responsibility.
ā”ļøSleeping time (of course, you need to rest, so that your brain will be active for the next day.
I organized my timetable and set reminder for each of this scheduled time, and purposed in my heart to follow through to achieve the desired success I needed for the academic year.
You maybe thinking if I really followed through, wasnāt it difficult, and exhausting?
Yes it was but I purposely decided to maintain the discipline if I need to succeed.
Finally, today Iām a graduate with honors and priviledeg to have leadership awards and certifications together with my degree.
And today, facing the āREAL WORLDā with that same DISCIPLINEā and āDETERMINATIONā
Having that same hunger for knowledge and success, and I know this is just a stepping stone, I am getting there and so are you.
Tag along, if you are deciding from today, to put away procrastination and discipline yourself towards success.
