Don T Waste Your Time
We are
all looking to be successful in life but sometimes we are wasting our time
doing things that are holding us back from reaching our full potential. And
often, we do not recognize those things until someone points them out.
It is important to analyze how we spend our days, hour by hour and
regularly look for ways to work smarter, ways to eliminate time-wasters. So, to
get started, here are eight things that productive, successful
people never waste their time doing and neither should you!
Productive, successful people do
not get sucked into social media.
Being on social
media - checking notifications Facebook, scrolling through pictures on
Instagram, reading quick updates on Twitter, whatever - it is part of
everyday life. But if you do not control how much time you spend on it, the
hours will fly by and you would not have accomplished anything on your to-do
list. So, either put a time limit on it - set an alarm for when you need
to minimize it, close the app, do something else - or only get
on after completing necessary work projects. Use social media
strictly as a reward.
Productive, successful people do
not go through the day without a plan.
Successful people
have a purpose, a laser-focused plan of things they want to achieve on a
particular day. You should write things down - but only the top two or
three priorities you need to accomplish that day, not a long
list of things. Write down your top priorities and break down those large tasks
into more reasonable steps and you will see yourself wanting to get them done
and crossed off the list.
Productive, successful people do
not do emotionally draining activities.
If you want to
step into a truly successful life, you have to focus on things that positively
fuel your life. Productive people do not waste their time on things that
emotionally drain them. Before committing to activities on your schedule, be sure the
activity will positively add to your life. If you believe it would not, then
think about saying no to it. Also, do not feel obligated to give an answer
right at the time you are being asked to do something. Think before you say yes
and know that it is fine to say no to requests for your time.
Productive, successful people do
not worry about things they cannot control.
Successful people
realize that worrying gets you absolutely nowhere in life, especially if you
cannot do anything about a situation. So, turn your thoughts to
action-based activities. Focus on things you can get done.
Productive, successful people do
not hang out with negative people.
It is said that
you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. So, if you
want to be your best, you have to surround yourself with the best people. Be sure to
eliminate negative, toxic energy around you. If you want to soar in life, you
need to unload what is weighing you down.
Productive, successful people do
not dwell on past mistakes.
Successful people
make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes. The key to being successful in life is
not making the same mistake twice, learning and growing from mistakes and
becoming a better person because of them. So, when you make a mistake, get
into a mindset that the mistake is done with and you cannot go back to the
past. Focus on what you learned and design a strategy to positively move
forward from it.
Productive, successful people do
not focus on what other people are doing.
It is great to be
inspired by what other successful people are doing, but when you are constantly
comparing yourself to the next person and it is bringing you down, it is time
to shift your mindset. Be inspired by others but focus your mindset to only compete with
the most important person: yourself.
Productive, successful people do
not put themselves last in priority.
We all go through
times that we do not get enough sleep or exercise because we need to work on a
big project. But for long-term success and happiness, you must put
yourself first on the priority list. Some great ways to do this is to
kick start your day by doing something you love to do - maybe it is completing
a great workout, meditating, journaling or reading your favourite book. Do what
works for you. When you start off your day doing something you love and that is
good for you, you will feel happy, focused and strong the rest of the day.
Are there things
on your must-do list that have been time-wasters for you? Eliminate them, so
you can step into your best life!
