SELF-DISCIPLINE, ONE OF THE KEYS TO SUCCESS!steemCreated with Sketch.

Hello my dear friends, I hope you are well. I was lost for days hehehe but now I'm here.

Today I want to talk to you about a topic that I think is important in our life, these days that I've been locked up I've had to think a lot hehehe... Sometimes I have felt like lazy because I don't find what to do, but as I say I have thought a lot and in these months I think it has happened to all of us that we have decided to create new habits or reinforce those that were already implanted in us.

There are many who have perhaps wasted their time on things that do not benefit them at all, so I want to talk about a quality that seems to me super important when it comes to wanting to achieve something and pursuing a goal.

SELF-DISCIPLINE:

” Self-discipline is the ability to follow personally imposed rules, with order and constancy, using only willpower. ” Fuente

There are many people who are somewhat scattered like me, for example, and many times we set ourselves a goal and don't achieve it or we lose focus too quickly. That's why I've thought about what I can do to avoid those distractions I always have on hand and stay focused.

Nowadays, because of the quarantine many of us are at home, and in my opinion the distractors are more, because we have many things at hand that can increase our inactivity, for example, BED, TELEVISION, CELL USE, SEE NETFLIX, SLEEPING, BEING ON THE COMPUTER, PLAYING VIDEO GAMES, IN ORDER. .. I think that's a lot of distractions, so the first thing we have to do to build that AUTODISCIPLINE, is to make a list of all that distracting stuff.

We have to be clear that these distractors make us undisciplined so we have to keep that in mind and try to ignore them for certain times.

Second, I think that if we are working from home we should create a WORK environment, the best thing would be not to do it from bed as that can be a distraction for many and can make us fall into inactivity. Create an environment within our home that allows us to work in tranquility.

Third, to be CONSTANT, to create certain habits such as exercising or eating healthy is important to be constant. If we are not repetitive in what we want to achieve it will be a little more difficult to create a GOOD HABIT!

By all this I don't mean that we are undisciplined in everything obviously we are not, but many times we want to achieve specific things and since we are not constant WE DON'T ACHIEVE IT.

Fourth, to motivate ourselves when we achieve small changes, which means that many times we propose things that we know we will not achieve so it is important to set small goals, for example, if my goal is to lose weight and exercise, doing 20 minutes a day is good and I must applaud it. This way we will keep motivated and it will be much easier to reach the final goal.

It is important that we congratulate ourselves on the small achievements.

I think that as a last recommendation, is that PLAN OUR DAYS OR WEEKS, we have to take into account that the day has 24 hours and of those 24 hours we have to sleep, eat, clear our minds, bathe, perhaps do certain trades, in short, we can not believe that everything we want to achieve we can do in 1 day, so we must be aware in our planning and also understand that things are not achieved overnight.

For many people it will be difficult because they have always been used to being undisciplined or simply procrastinating. But it is not impossible, small steps must be big advances. We cannot be inflexible with ourselves, we must have patience but be constant at the same time, otherwise it will be useless.

SELF-DISCIPLINE is important for our work life and our personal life, that is why I wanted to talk about this subject, because it is a quality that we should all practice.

Thanks for reading me!!

¡Hola, @franyeligonzalez !

I just found this post through this post by the AI curator @thoth.test , a project that aims to deliver #lifetime-rewards to creators in our network.

Reading your words made me remember vividly about these dark and singular times of the pandemic... From your takeaways, I definitely agree that separating the workspace especially was really important, as well as congratulating yourself on the small wins and planning the days/weeks in advance! In this note, I've been using the Obsidian tool for my planning and Knowledge Managing, maybe you'll find it interesting too!

Finally, I wanted to play with one of the "Conversation Starters" generated by Thoth:

The author suggests that creating a dedicated workspace is key to focus. For those with limited space, what creative solutions have you found to separate your work environment from your personal life at home?

I thought (or Thoth? :P) this was a great idea to think about, since a lot of people, including me, had limited space during the quarantine. What I did was having kind of a "moving workspace", since I could move my Notebook Computer on an mdf wood sheet I cut, where I put the cooler base I have together with my Writing Notebooks, my physical folder and other relevant materials needed. This way, I could transform a corner of the kitchen table into my temp office while someone used the space where I'd normally work from. Difficult times indeed...


I don't want to overextend myself here, but I'll answer the two other Conversation Starters over on a comment in the mentioned post, so I'd love to interact with you over there too! Nice meeting you, and thank you for the content (:

I always enjoy reading about self-discipline, because they come as a constant reminder to me that self-discipline is needed. One week I feel as if I master it, then the next week is crappy :) in other words, your article came as an encouragement and help!

hahaha well the important thing is to try!!

@franyeligonzalez It is always a big fight to maintain self-discipline. But these important points you discussed here are crucial to win the fight. I also want to add that having a schedule has helped me to maintain self discipline. I am able to see what I should be doing at any particular point in time. Its not always perfect, but a schedule helps to keep me on track

Hi friend, you are so right, planning a schedule is crucial so we are more organized too! Thanks for commenting!

Such a great plan to reach our success. Thanks for sharing and, since now, I'll be waiting for more stimulating ideas of yours!

HOPE you have a great week, @franyeligonzalez.

Hi friend thanks for your comment, did you notice that you were one of the winners of my second contest?

Hi. Welcome! Yes, of course I noticed it haha. Indeed, I replied you twice on that. First in the contest results post and then in my Futbolito post. Greetings!

(I don't really know why you cannot see my replies. Sorry).

Being self-disciplined implies great organization, having clear goals, applying logic and valuing time.
Not looking for excuses not to do what we plan, because we would be sabotaging ourselves.
Eliminating distractions, more than necessary, is the way we can make optimal use of our time.
And yes, we cannot pretend that we will get everything from one day to the next, everything has its process.
It's a good point @franyeligonzalez

Nice post friend, I have been waking up earlier and even if I have not gotten to the exact time I want to hit, I always encourage myself as I wake up earlier everyday and I promise myself to improve.

Thank you for commenting!

Very good advice friend, I will start by making my list of distracting agents.

  • Netlix: new season of Dark, the new season of umbrella academy ...... I think I will fail this month, there is too much good programming XD

it's just a joke, if we don't demand of ourselves we don't achieve anything, SELF DISCIPLINE is the key to success .... thank's for sharing

He's right about netflix, I'm in it too!

Self discipline helps one to curtail the way he or she spends.
It also helps one to be contented with what he or she has.

Hi, thanks for stopping by!

Anytime
You're much more welcome

Disiplin is easy word but difficult to be done

You're so right!
