You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

"How do I get tougher?" Be tougher. "How can I wake up early in the morning?" Wake up early. "How can I work out every day?" Work out every day.

You don't set out to build a wall. You don't start by saying "I'm going to build the biggest, baddest wall that's ever been built". You don't start there. You say "I'm going to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid." If you do that every day, soon you will have a wall.

Whether you think you can, or you think you can't — you're right.

Feeling Good

We’ve all made them. In fact, they’re a part of life. But what would you do differently if you had the chance? Ask someone about their regrets and you will learn a lot. That’s because everyone can think of at least one thing they wish they had done another way.But the guilt over past mistakes can become paralyzing if it consumes us.Take a look at these steps for reframing your regrets and doubts of the past, and turn them into the possibilities of today.As our good friend, Bob Ross, used to say, “There are no mistakes – only happy accidents.”

Why it’s Important to Get Over Past Mistakes

Occasionally we go through life unhappily and not truly knowing why. Regret over a past mistake you committed could be causing you to feel this way. Being regretful involves feeling bad about something you wish you had done differently. You may regret things you did do (regret of action), or regret things you didn’t do (regret of inaction). It’s important to understand the source of your remorse and to acknowledge your rationale for doing, or not doing, whatever happened at the time.

Understanding Your Mistakes

If you feel you mistakenly missed out on an opportunity because of past decisions – such as not having children or not being closer with a family member, then take the time to grieve that loss. If it’s not too late to alter the feeling of regret by taking some kind of action like reconciling with that family member, then take advantage of the opportunity now. Sometimes we have the opportunity to apologize if we regret how we handled a situation with another person. If there is something you can do now, do it!

Take Time To Grieve

Write your feelings out – if only just for yourself. Bring these swarming, remorseful feelings out of your head and onto paper. Write them in a journal, or write them on a piece of paper to destroy in a way that makes you feel more fulfilled – like burning it.Furthermore, while you’re in the process of writing, remove the words, “If only…then” from your vocabulary. Understand that worrying about the past is a potent prescription for stress and health problems. Do not make the guilty feelings more powerful by your fixation with them.

Express Your Feelings

Remember that line from Bob Ross we mentioned earlier? “There are no mistakes – only happy accidents.” We have no choice but to accept what has happened and to think of the current options we do have. And, while you may not be able to get over the consequences of prior decisions, you can let go of obsessing over them.

Accept Your Past Mistakes

Stop “beating yourself up” emotionally because of yesterday’s decisions and instead assess what choices you do have! It is never too late for many life opportunities – to go back to school or to learn a new skill, to connect with others in meaningful relationships, or to change your negative self-perception or attitude. Grow past the pain of mistakes. Grow past the shame. Be involved in things that will bring you gladness, not guilt, for today and for the future.

Learn From Your Mistakes

Learn five tips to help you forgive yourself and get over the past mistakes that are keeping you from moving forward.

Getting Over Past Mistakes | Centerstone

Improved decision-makingWhen you have a better understanding of yourself, you're able to make more informed decisions. You know your triggers and what causes you to react in certain ways, so you can avoid those situations or be prepared for them.Write down a list of your own strengths and weaknesses, so you can play to your strengths and work on your weaknesses.

Six Benefits of Self-Awareness and How You Can Apply Them

When you know yourself better, you're more likely to trust your own instincts and abilities. This can lead to increased self-confidence, which is essential in all areas of life. Whether you're applying for a new job or going on a first date, having confidence in yourself will help you to succeed.Start putting yourself in situations that will push you outside of your comfort zone, but where you are likely to succeed. This will boost your self-confidence and give you the motivation to keep pushing forward.

Greater self-confidence

Self-awareness also leads to improved relationships. When you understand your own emotions and triggers, you're less likely to take things personally or react in an emotional way.Think about how you can communicate more effectively, listen more and empathize with others. As a result, you're likely to have healthier and more fulfilling relationships.

 Improved relationships

When you have greater self-awareness, you're better able to manage your thoughts and emotions. This can lead to increased happiness and satisfaction with life in general.You're less likely to dwell on negative thoughts or experience anxiety or depression when you have a good understanding of yourself. Think about the things you can be grateful for and appreciate in your life.

Self-awareness can also help with stress management. When you know your triggers and how to deal with them, you're less likely to feel overwhelmed by stress.You're also more likely to have healthy coping mechanisms in place for when stressful situations do arise. Become more aware of what causes you stress, so you can plan how to destress ahead of time.

Better stress management

Habits

If you’ve ever found it difficult to get through a challenging task at work, studied for an important exam, or spent time on a finicky project, you might have wished you could increase your ability to concentrate.Well, the good news is - you actually can enhance your concentration. Let's look at everything you do.

Research suggests that playing video games could help boost concentration.<ul><li>A study looking at 29 people found evidence to suggest an hour of gaming could help improve visual selective attention (VSA), your ability to concentrate on a specific task while ignoring distractions.</li><li>Another study looked at 100 studies examining how video games could affect cognitive function. The results suggest playing video games may lead to various changes in the brain, including increased attention and focus.</li></ul>

1. How about some FIFA? 

A demanding schedule, health issues, and other factors sometimes make it difficult to get enough sleep. But it’s important to try and get as close to the recommended amount as possible on most nights.Many experts recommend adults aim for 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night.

2. Sleep like a baby

Increased concentration is among the many benefits of regular exercise. Exercise benefits everyone. A 2018 study looking at 116 fifth graders found evidence to suggest daily physical activity could help improve both concentration and attention after just 4 weeks.P.S. - If it’s hard to find time to exercise or you don’t want to join a gym, try to think of fun ways to work it in throughout the day. May be a walk?

3. Hit the gym, the road,  or the backyard

If you want to boost your concentration naturally, try to get outside every day, even for a short while. You might take a short walk through a park. Sitting in your garden or backyard can also help. Any natural environment has benefits.According to the American Psychological Association (APA), spending time in nature can have a positive impact on both physical and mental health.

4. Spend time in nature

You’ve spent a few hours on the same project, and suddenly your attention starts to wander. Even though it’s hard to keep your mind on the task, you stay at your desk, forcing yourself to keep going. But your struggle to focus just makes you feel stressed and anxious about not completing your work on time.You’ve probably been there before. Next time this happens, when you first feel your concentration drop, take a short mental break. Refresh yourself with a cool drink or nutritious snack, take a quick walk, or go outside and get some sun.

5. Take a break. Please?

Here are five tips from Healthline to improve concentration.

Ways to improve concentration, include brain games, meditation, music, and more. If you're finding it hard to focus and these tips don't help, consider asking a doctor.

5 Sure-Shot Ways to Improve Concentration

Productivity is the amount of work that you accomplish over a given period of time. Now this productivity would also have some quality attached to it. A widespread standard way or technique to boost productivity is by saying that “you need a strong reason to accomplish something”, which is very vague. Sure, you need a reason, but it isn’t the only ingredient which drives productivity, some times, even after having a strong reason people procrastinate, just because they don’t feel like doing the task.

To be productive you need to “be focused” on the work that you are trying to accomplish and stay contextual to the work at hand. Being contextual and aligned to a larger goal/s, gives your work a sense of meaning. When you are meaningful, you think and act critically. Your flow towards the work is of the highest quality.

Focus

The next thing is to be able to focus on the result, rather than the problem. For e.g., if you are trying to figure out to accomplish a task efficiently, focus on asking the right questions like “what is the efficient way?” Ask yourself “How will it be efficient?”, rather than being stuck with the problem of being inadequate with efficiency. If you are brain storming you will need critical thinking and a good level of self-awareness which drives you to think in the right direction.

Asking the right questions

Keeping your thoughts around what is that you are trying to accomplish makes it easier and it releases a set of ideas in an organic way. When you know what is that you want, you take action and think with the right mindset. It sets up the stage.

Knowing the result

Flow is an organic outcome of being focused and diligent. It will drive you to the right ideas and connections through your mind and help you find great solutions and ideas. When you get deeply involved in a process, you contemplate in the highest quality.

Flow

To-do’s with a timeline help you boost your efforts and make you responsible along with providing a sense of ownership. When you own a certain task/s, it prompts you to think in the right direction. Keeping an end to the task takes you away from procrastination.

Timelines with to-do’s, owning

When you visualize the end of a task(end result) the connecting processes will happen on it own. You don’t even have to figure out the “how” to accomplish the task. When you visualized you have already prepared a blue print immaterially and prepared to an extent. You will be able to be in flow quickly and easily if visualize the process before you get started. Visualization of a process makes it easier to find efficient ways.

Visualization is very effective

A good energetic person will have an abundance of creative ideas and be full of enthusiasm towards the task at hand. Having a sharp intellect makes it easier to accomplish difficult task/s, it helps to come up with efficient ways to accomplish something complex in nature

Energy and enthusiasm

Your team is productive when the direction is set and strategized well, everybody knows what is required of them. Getting queries of individuals answered by someone “a leader” would make a team empowered, as they have a reliable source to get them moving forward. Communication, direction and to unknot the complexity is the responsibility of a leader. They are responsible for guaging the amount of work accomplished and getting things done

Become A Mentor 

Because i think this can help you to achieve growth and change in you to become a better person or a good employee.

Productivity 

Many of us limit ourselves with false beliefs about our intelligence or other abilities. But the truth is, you don’t have to be born a genius in order to succeed. You just need to cultivate your individual abilities and motivation. You do so by identifying your purpose and using that to push you forward. And then, it’s a matter of choosing the most suitable among the many great methods of studying, focusing, memorising, reading and thinking. That will make your learning truly limitless.

Key Message

To-do lists are a classic productivity staple, but the trouble is, they don’t help you prioritize your tasks. That’s where a not-to-do list comes in. To make one, first identify all the tasks that you can’t do because of outside circumstances. Then, write down tasks you might consider “busywork.” Next, add all the things you might delegate to other people, or tasks for which you already have a system in place. And now have a list of everything you shouldn’t try to get done today!

From official website: Jim was once known as the “boy with the broken brain.”A childhood head injury at age five left him struggling in school. For a while, he even believed he could never be as good as other kids when it came to learning.Jim loved superheroes as a kid – and comic books saved him when conventional education couldn’t. Comic books taught Jim how to read…and they also kept his dreams alive that one day he, too, would find his inner superpower. As the years wore on, fate led Jim to a mentor, a friend’s father, who sent him on a journey to learn about his brain and learn how to use it.

If you focus on the obstacles, all you will see is obstacles. If you focus on the path through the trees, all you will see is a path through the trees. It’s your choice how you choose to perceive your own career. It’s literally perspective. You can't tell the human brain not to do something. When we do that, what happens is we reinforce things when we put things we want out of our focus.

How to Stop Holding Yourself Back | Simon Sinek

Imagine a month in which you’re extremely productive where you complete every important task without any procrastination. You follow every routine and ritual, like waking up early, doing meditation, journaling, or working out.In this blog, we are gonna plan the next perfect month with the help of systems like Habit Tracker, Daily Planner, and ABCDE method. I like to do this because I have realized that at the micro-level it’s all about good habits if you want to be productive. You could highly benefit from this system if you have a 9 to 5 job and also doing some side hustle.

How to plan for a perfect Month

A habit tracker is a simple way to measure whether you did a habit. For example, if you did a workout on Monday you will cross off that day on the calendar. I make a habit tracker not because I am the most organised person, it’s the opposite. I am seriously chaotic and easily distracted, So I need a system to keep me laser-focused. Motivation is over-rated anyway and willpower doesn’t work either, at least not for long. I usually make a habit tracker on canva and rarely use photoshop because the Canva user interface is much easy to engage.

What is a habit tracker?

I keep a track of days when I wake up early around 6 am because I have noticed whenever I did, I have been extremely productive.I also keep track of the days I did meditation which helps me with my creativity and keeps me pleasantly calm and focused.Once you start pursuing your goals and not be able to achieve them in the expected time, you start to see from a glass half empty lens and that is why I kept a section on Gratitude. For the last few months, I have been practising Gratitude which I have found extremely helpful in making me aware of all the good things in my life.

Tracking Provides Proof 

I also write Goals for every month. I realised having clear and precise goals eliminated the chances of procrastination because the moment you look into your calendar you realise you don’t have time to waste.I have assigned symbols for each habit, a cross for the days I woke up early around 6 am and a circle for meditation, right tick for the workout. The urge to keep the streak alive and not break the chain is immense.

Goals for the month

No month can be perfect unless you keep track of your everyday productivity. I also keep track of my productivity hours each day with the help of a google Extension named "MakeTime - increase productivity". This is the best tool I found for tracking my everyday productivity because I do most of my work on my laptop and I have found my phone seriously distracting, so I try to stay away from it. And The extension interface is interesting enough in a way that you don't waste time playing with it.Link for the Productivity tool named MakeTime:-<a href="https://maketime.online/i/45155">MakeTime Productivity Google Extensio</a>n

Tracking productivity hours Daily

We often have a distorted view of our own behaviour, on good days we overestimate our efforts but on bad days we underestimate them. With this tool, You can see how many hours you have spent working on your goals daily. It gives you a broad perspective of your efforts and keeps you honest.I usually track my study plan with this tool and as you can see I have spent 1000 hours on it. This not only makes me proud but also provides me with proof that I did everything I could to achieve my goals.

Numbers Don't lie

The beginning of my day is dominated by the notion of “What is the biggest and ugliest frog I have to eat today.”Before you assume something weird let me explain that here frog is a code for your biggest, most important task, the one you’re most likely to procrastinate on if you don't do something about it. It is also the one task that can have the greatest positive impact on your life at the moment.that’s why I became obsessed with waking up early. I wanna get my most important task done as early as possible so the amount of stress could be drastically reduced by the time in the evening.

Eat Frog Early in the Day Philosophy

The first rule of frog eating is this: If you have two frogs eat the ugliest one first. It means that if you have two important tasks before you, start with the biggest, hardest, and most important tasks first. Resist the temptation of starting the easiest task first.The second rule of frog eating is this: If you have to eat a live frog at all, it doesn’t pay to sit and look at it for very long.

Rules of Frog Eating

If you have too many tasks like 10 or 20 then try The ABCDE method to figure out which tasks are more important than the others.The ABCDE method is a powerful priority-setting technique that you can use every single day. Here’s how it works: You start with a list of everything you have to do for the coming day. think on paper. You then place A B C D E next to each item on your list before you begin the first task.An "A" Task is very important, something that you must do. this is a task that will have serious positive or negative consequences if you do it or fail to do it.

The ABCDE Method

If you have more than one A task you prioritize these tasks by writing "A-1", "A-2", "A-3" and so on.Your A-1 task is the biggest and ugliest frog of all.A "B" task is the one that you should do but it has only mild consequences. These are the tadpoles of your work life. This means that someone may be unhappy or inconvenienced if you don’t do one of these tasks but it is nowhere as important as an "A" task.The rule is that you should never do a "B" task when an "A" task is left undone. you should never be distracted by the tadpole when the big frog is sitting right there waiting to be eaten.

A "C" task is something that would be nice to do but for which there are no consequences at all, whether you do it or not.A "D" task is defined as something you can delegate to someone else. The rule is that you should delegate everything that someone else can do to free up more time for the A task.An "E" task is defined as something that you can eliminate, and it won't make any real difference.I didn’t understand the depth of time until I started planning my days. It’s easy to overlook the concept of planning and take your time for granted.

We have this perception that to drastically transform our life We have to do something big but the reality is that just by merely changing seemingly normal daily Habits and Planning your day, you can start to see exceptional results. Sure it's not the most exciting energy but it is the most productive one. Because people don't know How to make monotonous things exciting. Everything gets monotonous at some point. The only difference between professionals and amateurs is that amateurs leave when it gets boring, while professionals don't.

Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results

How to Plan for the perfect Productive month.

Habit tracking and daily planning have been life changing activities for me. I have been doing all sorts of things like following strict regimes and routines that all extraordinary people do. I chose these habits because I knew that they would nurture my soul and increase my productivity. You can choose your own pair of good habits. I used to be afraid of planning because I was afraid of failure and disappointment. But now I am ready to face my fears, failures. Uncertainty is the biggest fear of humans so to become sure of our future we plan. I used to think if I would be spontaneous about my time, I would have more freedom but exactly the opposite happened to me time after time. I never seem to notice until this year. you can be seriously disciplined about your schedule while being rebellious and spontaneous in expressing your form of art and work.
