HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OUT OF YOUR DAY

At the start of every year, we project our intending achievements and propose our targeted goals for the year that would enable us accomplish them within a specified period. But more often than not, we end up achieving less than we expect at the end of the year.

Your overall achievement within a stipulated period is the sum-total

of all effort you continuously put on daily basis towards realization of your dreams. What we achieve on monthly and yearly basis is a compounded effort of our daily activities. How we carry out these daily activities goes a long way to determining how much we make out of our everyday activities. Stated below are five ways you should follow to achieve the most out of your day.

•      Firstly enlist all necessary tasks you have for the day      

This is is called personal orderliness. It is vital in ensuring you achieve not just as many tasks as possible but that you achieve the most important ones according to top priorities. Give more attention to tasks that would be more productive and watch out how your day would turn out to be the best.

•         Don’t procrastinate

      It is a universal fact that procrastination is the very killer of dreams and achievements. The truth is that our ability to achieve our ambitions, fulfill our dreams and accomplish our plans is related with the degree of our motivation. And motivation dies away with time. Don’t put off what you need to do at the moment to the next moment. The consequence is that you would lose the motivation to do it and may end up not doing it at all. Form the habit of doing the right things at the right time. Discipline yourself never to put off things you need to do at the moment and watch yourself always achieve most out of your day.

3.     Concentrate on your work

     Distraction is one of the biggest causes of unproductivity. Lack of concentration would reduce your output even when you apply larger effort. Never allow yourself to be distracted by any factor at your work place. Learn how to work in a quite environment if your work requires such. 

•       Avoid Depression 

      In one of my articles, I explained the relationship between depression, motivation and success. While depression is the direct opposite of motivation, both determine our degree of success or failure at the long run. Every single day you are depressed surely results into a low output in your work. Though problems are the major cause of depression, you become motivated and earn the energy to carry out your daily tasks when you see  them as challenges.

•          Be Conscious of Time 

Adequate time management is necessary for achieving both personal and organizational goals. There is only a fixed length of time for every individual. What you make out of every hour compounds to your overall achievement at the end of every day. Manage your time very well. Never allow an hour to pass you by without taking a bite off your daily task so as to meet up with your projected target for the year.
