Develop Habit to get success

Many times we start on a task with full force but doesn't sustain on doing it.

The main issue is that we are not aligned to do that activity automatically. There are very little things accomplished with force. Everyone successful first work on developing habit to do the task that will take closer to goal. 

To develop habit, create a trigger on your phone to remind you of the task to do at regular interval. Once it will sink in your subconscious mind, you will start seeing result of automatically doing it without realizing or putting efforts.

Don't do Anything when

Use HALT to decide and take a real Pause before saying/doing anything.

H- Hungry
A - Angry
L- Lonely 
T- Tired

What's good - Break Task down or Consolidation


There is saying that to make a work easy, you need to break down and it will become easy what was initially thought as daunting work.  However, I have seen problem started coming as scope grows, Role build up to have more projects and managing those tasks become overwhelming when those need to be delegated as well.

In many attempts to understand what's missing here is that we go to the route to break them down to find pieces of puzzle; however, in the end when we forget to pull all pieces together, we are not able to complete that puzzle and struggle.

So never leave your objective and keep checking tasks break up against it. 

For example, to better serve clients in timely fashion, we divide company into multiple unit. It works well as we are focused.  However, as business grows, this model struggle in collaboration, below are to name few:
  • To give 360 degree view to cover up all expectation in timely and efficient manner
  • To get people of right skills since they are not in your department 
  • Have multiple dependencies

If company can override departmental goals and create composite vision, it will be able to fix dropping Client satisfaction rating.

Client Communications Effectiveness

When you have escalations in Client dealings, based on experience you would generally react and become defensive. This backfires most of the time since it's not result oriented.

As you become more experienced, you start responding with putting all facts and way forward. This is responding. It works in dat to day situations; however doesn't demonstrate that you will be able to maintain what is needed to make Clients successful.

The third stage is to connect and understand the drive or intention and plan/act accordingly. This would definitely wow your clients and build confidence in execution and capabilities.

How to motivate yourself to do anything?

There is only one thing we need to start moving towards desired goals.

Create Hope!

Steps:

  • You have to find ways to create hope in goal you want to achieve based on your situations

Know where your time is going

When your boss asks what were you doing for last one month and couldn't able to deliver, you relook and not able to justify most of the time.

Simple method to capture what you were engaged (if really working) is to  put Tasks done in Calendar meeting as you progress with some notes/proof to refer.

By doing this, you would be able to capture it along with other Meetings at single Place.

Don't forget to put down action items in meeting invite to make it better to recall.

Passion and Persistence Pays to get Success


To achieve what you want, you need to build passion about it. You need to connect with it every way to give it energy. Once Energy is there, you can start driving on road to achieving it. There would be road blocks and there Persistence comes into picture. More you persist, more closer you become to you goal.
Develop persistency by saying to yourself -- one more step, one more time try out. Take break and Try again. If needed, refuel your passion to give yourself a push. There is no need to set deadline or get depressed if you don't get in deadline you set for. That gives opportunity to look again and plan again to move forward for what's worthy to achieve.
