As the saying goes "he who fails to plan inadvertently plans to fail"
In the struggle for self actualization and on the pathway to success,it is of grave importance that one must develop a keen sense of focus,sheer persistence and perseverance, willful commitment never having to lose sight of the prize even for a split second
Having detailed and pre-set goals is of utmost importance as it gives one purpose and a sense of fulfillment especially when the set goals are achieved.In a bid to effectively and quickly actualise such goals,one must cultivate certain measures;
PLANNING:As I already pointed out earlier,having a good plan is very essential because it helps to instill orderliness,a sense of responsibility and also serves as a guide to to properly achieve what you've set out to achieve.This can be done by creating a list of all the activities or tasks to be undertaken over a period of time(daily,weekly etc) and embarking on them either randomly or in the order of listing or importance
Proper time management:Time as we all know is one of if not the most important commodity on earth because once it passes/is lost can never be regained,as such one must make ample use o their time
One of the best ways to do this is by allocating specific amounts of time to specific tasks and trying to stick to it in order to maximize achievement.Also one must very well know the value of time and avoid or regulate time spent on low value and not so important activities
Shunning procrastination:Procrastination is a major enemy of success because it breeds laziness and leads to massive underperformance.In order to overcome it,one needs to be more proactive and take the initiative to perform tasks in a timely manner greatly utilising the concept of proper time management in order to attain optimum performance
Consistency/Commitment:Very often,the setbacks or failures we encounter can be attributed to lack of consistency/commitment
This is one of the most difficult measures to adopt though it is gravely important.Any achievement one enjoys in life often comes at a price of relentless pursuit,trials and error,sacrifices etc. One must therefore develop an iron will and remain focused on the process bearing in mind that the end result(success) will be worth every ounce of commitment or sacrifice made
Conclusively,let us be reminded that "as we make our beds so we shall lie on them"
It is of paramount importance that we apply these principles in the daily conduct of our lives,work space and in our forum involvement
I am also a huge partaker in this advice as I still have a long way to go in life but I'm confident that with the above principles and more contributions that will be coming from erudite members of this forum,we will engage profitably,learn and be successful.
OP, you have made many points here but in planning, we should strategically map out ways how to achieve this goals of ours.
