There are distractions everywhere. In a world where technology is at its peak and will continue to rise, we are addicted to our phones.
Technology plays a huge role in distracting us, and we persistently desire to be on our phones and entertained at all times. The Need Of The Hour Is To Be Disciplined To Achieve Our Goals!
Let’s be honest: it’s difficult to maintain discipline and focus on our goals. We desire to reach goals, but to do so, we must make certain sacrifices or changes in which not all of our wants are met. If you have a competitive exam coming up, you really need to study, and you know how important it is to sit and stay concentrated, but you always find yourself procrastinating and distracting yourself, which you know is wrong, but you can’t bring yourself to sit in one place and study.
With distracting notification sounds, other tasks that must be completed, and the temptation to simply have fun, staying disciplined can be difficult, but you must understand that success does not come by luck. You need to work hard to reach your goal since there is no alternative to hard work, and success is only achievable if you are disciplined enough.
Getting motivated to suddenly put all the efforts into two days straight and then procrastinating again, is not being disciplined. Discipline ensures you keep moving forward—even on tough days when you don’t feel like putting in the effort that is required. We have gathered 4 mind-blowing tips to help you stay disciplined and achieve your dreams.
So buckle up; it’s time to take control of your focus!
4 Mindblowing Tips To Stay Disciplined
1. Set Clear and Achievable Small Goals To Stay Disciplined
When you are clear about what you want to get, only then can you get that. When you know that you need to crack a competitive exam, you know the syllabus that you need to cover, the number of mocks that you need to give, the revision, and all of it. So, know the small goals that you need to achieve to reach the ultimate goal.
Instead of saying, “I want to get fit,” try, “I’ll lose 10 pounds in three months by exercising three times a week.” When you know exactly what you need to do in the coming future, only then can you stay completely disciplined and set your feisty eyes on the target.
2. Create a Routine and Stick to It
Discipline thrives on consistency. Consistency can only be achieved when you have a plan or what we call a routine or schedule for every day, to stay on the path. When you know the goal and understand how much you need to do, create a routine, and stick to it every day, till you achieve the goal.
When you have a routine that specifies the number of hours and the tasks that you need to do, you reduce decision fatigue, allowing your mind to focus on what truly matters, and that is following the routine and reaching the top.
Understand that consistency can be challenging at first, but once habits form, it becomes second nature and it would seem a little easier if not very easy.
3. Limit Distractions No Matter What
Distractions are our biggest enemy, but with the right and intentional effort, we can deal with that too because nothing is stronger than a strong will to get what you want. Try to figure out what distracts you.
What pulls your attention away? Is it your phone? Or the surrounding noise?
If you feel that reels are calling you and are distracting you, just switch off your notifications, or better, just switch your phone off for a certain period so that you can focus on your required task.
You may be distracted by friends who repeatedly call you to do different things together. That is great but if you need to study or work on a critical task that can’t wait, try to strike a balance between spending time with your loved ones and sticking to your routine..
4. Develop a Strong Accountability System
Developing a strong accountability system is a game-changer when it comes to staying disciplined. Accountability introduces a sense of responsibility, making it much harder to stray from your goals.
You can start by finding a partner who can be a friend, coach, or mentor who can check in on your progress and offer constructive feedback on where you are going wrong, or what else can you do, to make your progress better.
While external accountability is powerful, remember this: at the end of the day, the most important accountability lies with you.
