Winning the self-discipline fight!

The quote above touches on my last blog post and on something that I have found totally works for me when I do it. Unfortunately I don't do it often enough and it's something I'm working on.

Scheduling your time/time blocking. If you make time to do something every day, it eventually get's done.

For example, you could spend an entire day doing laundry - Or you could decided to do one load every day. Wash it, dry it, fold it, and put it away. Done. You've accomplished something today. Sometimes the idea of getting 10 loads done is overwhelming, so break it up when you can.

If you have a book you really want to start reading, but keep putting it off, commit to reading it xx minutes each day. Even if it's only 10 minutes, it will add up at the end of the week. You might even find yourself reading it longer when you get into it.

Once you get started by forcing yourself to just do a small amount of something you've been putting off, you'll realize that you're winning the fight for self-discipline.

Remember, take baby steps if you must, but get started!

There are only 24 hours in a day!

I've learned that I can only do so much. My business is booming, my marriage is flourishing, my personal health and fitness goals are in tip-top shape, but there is so much more going on in life. Spending time with family, spending time with friends, working on projects inside and outside of the house. Life gets completely crazy at times and it feels like the list of things to do, places to be, people to see never ends. The result: some things get put on the back burner. Like blogging. It's something I do to keep track of what I'm doing, where I am on my goals, and hopefully to motivate a few people at the same time. Here's where I'm at; Business: I am still out there networking, I have made so many new friends and am building great relationships. I am still working on single-tasking. I KNOW that it's the key to getting things done for me. However, I still have my days where I am so busy that I lapse back into my habit of multi-tasking. I do realiz...

Building Self-Discipline; Step 1

So how do we build self-discipline? First we figure out where we need self-discipline in our life. What are the areas in your life that you are struggling with? These are usually things you want to do, but for some reason you don't do them. Here are some ideas. Exercising, cooking meals, laundry, networking, de-cluttering, organizing your desk at work, yoga, meditation... the list could go on and on. Think about your list for a minute. Now, write down 2 or 3 things that you know you want to do, but keep putting off. These are things that you know would make an impact in your life. Now, next to each item, write down why you're not doing them AND why you want to do them. # selfdiscipline # lifehack # gettingstuffdone # liveyourbestlife #jimrohnquote MW Copyright 2017
