You must stay consistent in your daily activities!
I’ve said it before and said it consistently – SUCCESS LEAVES CLUES!
First, let’s talk about what consistency is:
CONSISTENCY – conformity in the application of something. Acting in the same way over time, especially so as to be fair or accurate. Unchanging in nature.
So consistency is really about doing the same things, even sometimes when you don’t want to do them, but you know they MUST be done so that you can get to the goal, or see success.
So here I will share three tactics to help you in staying consistent.
- Know WHY you are doing the thing. What makes you passionate about the job at hand – even if this one thing is not your passion – you can find a reason to be passionate right now. For example: Doing a job well done. Completing this task so that you can continue with what you’re REALLY passionate about.
- Schedule time for activities. Be definitive in your scheduling. I’ve heard it said before that what gets scheduled gets done. Use a calendar or a calendar app – when you put things in to get done, you are more likely to do them. NOTE – you have to actually use or look at the calendar for it to be effective.
- Tell someone else your plan. When you tell other people what you are planning. You tell them your schedule they can help to be your partner in accountability. Believe me, if you share what your vision, your passion, and your goals are with others, especially close friends or mentors – even if it is not something that excites them, assuming they have genuine caring for you, they will ask you how you are doing towards your goals – for the day, month, years and so on.
Now keep in mind, if you miss something for one day, or even for a week – be careful not to look at it as a total loss or failure. Just get back on the horse and keep going.
And, IF you take action on these three things – they will definitely help to make you more consistent, accomplish more of your tasks or goals and emotionally will help you feel more successful!
