- Set goals: It’s integral that we set some boundaries as well as mental markers along the way to figure out how to get to where you want to go in life, and how you should work towards it. Make sure you start by telling yourself there will be failures along the way. You just need to pick yourself up and continue on your path
- Track and manage your time: No matter how chaotic your life is, take some tough decisions so that you change your conditions, environment, and mindset and get better organised, at least in terms of how you put time to good use. While it may not seem like a lot, 24 hours a day is plenty to sort your sleep, meals, and work duties, and spend time with those who matter to you. But have you allocated a few hours for yourself each day? Manage your time hourly, and even daily

- Establish priorities and keep to a schedule: Sounds a bit boring, no? Show me anyone who has a success story in life, and I’ll wager that they work to a meticulous schedule and have prioritised their daily goals and duties. This is pivotal for all of us to do; professionally, socially, and personally. We can’t make everyone happy, all the time. Please accept that. And we can’t juggle multiple tasks simultaneously and perform at our optimal and finest at them all consistently. However, if we prioritise our tasks, duties, responsibilities, and goals, and ascertain to have some semblance of a schedule – which we can build upon and refine – you’ll start to see key differences occur in your life that will contribute to your growth and evolution.
- Keep yourself accountable: We need to learn to accept responsibility and accountability for our thoughts, words, and deeds. Isn’t this a major issue in our country? Far too many are poised to take the credit, while too few are prepared to share the blame. We need to own our mistakes and try to learn from our weaknesses, failures, and flaws. If we do this, then we realise that we need not fall back into old habits and toxic routines. It’s important to yearn to trudge onwards and away, but do so cleaning up your own messes and learning to fix one problem at a time without welcoming more problems into your life than you have the time to tackle.
