How to grow 10 times faster within the time you have !!
The more carefully and frequently you monitor yourself, the better you’ll control yourself! !!
- Roy Baumeister
We all have areas of life in which we want to achieve perfection and mastery.
In the race of completing our to-do lists we often lose the track of time and neglect the one thing that is key in any growth journey, i.e Reflect.
The rules are simple: what we measure, we improve
- When I measured my pushups, I knew I’m getting stronger
- When I measured my KPI’s ( key performance indicators), I got more productive
Self-monitoring is a crucial tool in building the systems that keep us on track.
Build a strong awareness towards your actions
- Awareness is the key tool for self-navigating your path.
- You measure from a place of curiosity, to understand yourself better.
- Measure because it will make you accountable for showing up to things that are important for you.
Now that you’re aware of it, what do you do?
Start a journal: A pen and paper are your best friends.
- Write down a list of actionable steps and timeframe for each goal you want to achieve
- Create monthly/weekly boxes in front of each action.
- Put a cross on the box every day
- Don’t break the chain.
As easy as it sounds, it can be a daunting task in reality, so?
Find an accountability partner:
In most cases, the urge to not break the chain is enough to work on our goals daily, but, if the temptation to fail is real, call up a friend and ask him to be your accountability coach. All they do is check up on your chain weekly. The pressure of being accountable is mostly enough for laziness to run away.
