It is essential to spend
more time developing your skill to become an expert in the field where your
passion is. But only practice is not enough. It must be better in a more
focused, strategic, and structured way. There is a tiny tip that many experts
follow. They do most hard work early in the day before any distraction kick in,
and their willpower dwindles. They engage in the concentrated practice for only
two or five hours and take naps to rejuvenate after intensive work.
You may have seen the
well-known Mark Zuckerberg wearing the same type of ash color t-shirt every
day. Some may think that it is his simplicity. But it’s not the only reason. If
he has so many clothes in his wardrobe, he may spend more time deciding what to
wear. According to him, it is a misuse of his energy and willpower. So he has
decided to save his energy; without spending them on useless decisions.
There are some steps on
the way to becoming successful. First of all, you have to identify your
purpose. Then create a mental representation of excellence and develop your
step-by-step strategy. After that, you want to practice with precision and
push. Finally, measure your progress. There is a famous method of focusing on
goals called SMART. It emphasizes that your goal should be specific, measurable,
attainable, relevant, and time-bounded. Self-motivation is the other thing that
plays an important role here.
There are two kinds of
self-motivation; which are namely conscientiousness and grit. Conscientiousness
defines having both the ability (can do) and willingness (will do) to fulfill
the responsibilities. Conscientious people are achievement and goal-oriented,
reliable, self-motivated, hardworking, self-disciplined, planned, organized,
and have a strong sense of duty. They are more likely to eat healthy, exercise,
wear seatbelts, take meditation and engage in safe hobbies. But who are high in
conscientiousness were also more likely to experience greater dissatisfaction
when unemployed. To increase your conscientiousness, you can remind yourself of
the goal daily and manage the context by habits. Grit is the passion and
preservation of a long-term target. It is not related positively to the IQ of a
person but conscientiousness. Gritty people are more likely to apply their
focus to a single long-term target when conscientious people fulfill every day
to a high standard in their lives. To get rejected by someone to do something
fuels the determination of gritty people. But being overly gritty carries some
risks. To increase, you can list up to twenty-five of your life goals and then
circle five that are the highest priority. Look at don’t circle and don’t pay
much attention to those. Finally, make a plan for achieving the top five goals.
Success is a journey,
not a destination. Regardless of where you start your life, your beliefs will
significantly influence where you end up.
