How to succeed at something

Sugar Quote 100

"When you schedule time for everything, you will succeed."

I used to believe that it was impossible for me to plan time for my Social Media activities simply because I am in love with Social Media, and you know when one is in love, that is when you misbehave the most. You tend to abandon other important activities and just play love, yet, never get fed up, until things start spoiling then you realize how much time you have wasted...

One very difficult culture to practice is "discipline." It's like punishing oneself; an act of doing what is necessary at every given time whether or not you like it, but the reward of becoming a discipline person cannot be overemphasized. Go make your research, most successful people in the world today imbibed discipline as a culture.

Your lifestyle has to be planned and not ad hoc. Every day, plan your activities. Set mini-goals,  and stick to the time to deliver on all your plannedactivities or at least 80% of all your activitie. Here's a sample sketch of what mine looks like:

Monday
4:30am-5am.......Read (to upgrade my IT skills).
5:15am-5:25am.....Social Media

5:30am-7am.....Morning Mass.

8am-9am......Domestic Chores.

9:30am-11am...........Read

11am-12pm........Social Media

2pm-8pm..........Go out and hustle (I consult for companies on IT services/Business development, and training).

9pm-10pm..........Social Media

10pm-10:30pm........go to bed.

If you observe, I left out some time in between   my schedules, because I am not a robot, so impromptu activity can pop up anytime, and sometimes I spend those times on social media, but if I don't plan myself, I am that kind of person that will be on Social Media from morning till night. Also there are compulsory activities you do every day, like eating, toileting, bathing, praying etc, you don't have to schedule those ones because it's a routine.

What needs to be on your schedule are activities that you consciously execute because they are  necessary for your growth. When you schedule time for everything necessary, you will definitely succeed.
