1. Love
Love what you do or do what you love. To be successful in your pursuit you need a lot of strength especially mental and emotional. Your success comes from within you. Ask anyone who has lost weight or made an app or completed a masterpiece, they all will tell you that they loved what they did and that’s why they succeeded.

2. Take care of yourself
Self-love is a concept that
you should completely absorb if you want to be successful. It’s a myth that
busy people don’t take time for themselves and are always working.
Taking care of yourself will
ensure that you don’t burn down and your productivity in the long run doesn’t
takes a hit.
Create space for relaxing
every day. Choose a hobby that makes you happy and if you can’t think of anything
start exercising. Even planning for a holiday relaxes you and fills you with
positive emotion.
Even your car needs maintenance then why not your body and mind.
3. Wake up early
From Benjamin Franklin to
Barack Obama, rising early has always been a favorite habit amongst successful
and productive people.
The main reason this habit
leads to better productivity is because your will power and self-control is
highest during morning hence you are able to tick of as many items on your list
as possible.
The best way to make the most
of your early morning sessions is to make a small morning routine and sticking
to it. This will kick start your day on a positive note and will set the mood
for the rest of the day.
4. Plan, plan, plan
There is a famous saying “If
you fail to plan, you plan to fail”.
This is so true that we
recommend you to write it down somewhere. When you systematically plan
something you give your brain a canvas to start the work on. You set the wheels
on motion.
Planning ensures that you see
your goals both long term and short term clearly, see the pitfalls and
hindrances and estimate the resources required to achieve them.
In the long run, planning and
evaluation will tell you more about yourself than a psychiatrist will ever be
able to.
5. See the big picture
Plan but don’t get lost in
the details. If you lose sight of the bigger picture, your ultimate goal and
how your choices are going to shape your life.
Jason Fried says that when
you get stuck in minor details you may miss out on time and lose momentum. This
leaves you demotivated and emotionally drained.
We suggest make a vision
board and clearly depict your goals and the happy future you see for yourself.
6. Be more productive by working less
People who are always busy
lack in time management skills and have a weak will power.
K.A. Erickson has proved from
his study that highly productive people work on an average 4.5 hours a day.
The magic here is to list and focus on important tasks that affect your future. This can be done by creating a 90 min window for each important item followed by a break of 20-30 minutes. Another rule is to wrap up the most difficult tasks in the beginning and slowly move towards to tasks that need lower will power.

7. Don’t Multitask
Multitasking exhausts you
without allowing you to achieve anything conclusive. Study shows that
multitasking overwhelms your brain confusing it amongst the task. This tires
the brain on a faster speed and you hit the exhaust button faster than you
should.
It is always better to focus
on one task and put all of your energy in that one thing.
Think and implement

will start from that day. Good luck.
