The internet has taught me a lot.
I have learned about entrepreneurship. Plus, interview best practices and so much about side hustles.
Here is one of my interview articles:
When going into a relationship, you feel the need to work on yourself. Whether it is your knowledge, physique, or sense of humor, it will take time. And self-improvement is difficult.
To make consistency simple, I love stumbling upon self-mastery tips. My favorites use them to achieve their goals. And we can do the same.
I am thrilled to share the tips the internet has taught me. I use each to become a different 2.0 self before I enter a relationship. Here are the 15 I find most helpful.
Take what you need to make a 1% difference in your life most days.
. . .
1. Rewriting your schedule causes productive
How was this not obvious to me before?
I would schedule an activity like this. From 1 to 2 pm, I will write an article. If I saw 1:05 pm on the clock, I would consider waiting for 2 pm.
Here’s a different approach. Jot down a timeframe for a task like 40 minutes, no prescribed hours. This way, any hour is the perfect time to begin.
I’ve reworked my productivity approach several times before:
2. Your phone home screen is the best vision board
I look at my phone a lot.
During breaks, while watching a movie, it doesn’t matter. When I get tired of switching between apps, I stare at my home screen.
Its potential gets wasted plenty.
You can make it a mini-vision board. To remind yourself of why you take small steps towards your goals daily.
3. High energy music raises your energy.
This idea might not surprise you. Music affects how you feel. So whenever you dread an activity. Play a super upbeat song while doing the task. Or feed off the high-energy voice of a sports commentator.
. . .
4. Procrastination can build momentum
Sometimes, tasks extend into the weekends.
A feeling of dread makes chores seem fun. But completing house chores creates momentum.
I use a 30-minute timer to pace myself. I aim to get one cleaning job done within 30 minutes. Then, move on to a simple task on my list. This way, I create a flow state.
It often leads to me sitting and working on tasks for about 4 hours before needing a break.
. . .
5. If you start seeing people as inspiration, you’ll focus more on your goals
Most times, we see people as our competition. We get jealous and spend more energy studying their actions.
If you want to be successful, view others as motivation. It changes your mindset. It sparks a thrill for you to do challenging projects and work to gain improvement.
. . .
6. 40 minutes helps you decide your life
Life presents us with many choices. It becomes clear what you love and want most when you dedicate 40 minutes per day to an activity.
If doing an action for 40 minutes for a month or three drains you, it will be hard to commit long-term.
7. If you want to fall asleep faster, you can do an educational hobby before bed
Most people put down a self-help book or subject-area-focused book pretty fast. The same applies to podcasts based on these topics.
When you need rest to perform well the next day, lay in bed with a “boring” book or podcast. You might be asleep within 15 minutes.
. . .
8. Under-promising and over-delivering also works in your personal life to develop your confidence
- Promise yourself to write for 20 minutes. But end up writing for an hour.
- Aim to do only the back section of the lawn. End up doing the front and back.
Make the challenge small. Then continue with your flow state.
Thank you for reading!
