Life is busy and hectic, and overwhelming. Whether you have been living with no schedule at all or you usually attempt to make a schedule but rarely stick to it, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure you will be successful in creating and sticking to your plans.
The hardest part about sticking to a schedule is getting started and becoming used to that sense of commitment. You need to give yourself some motivation to start this new method of being productive by choosing some things that you would be excited about changing.
In general, it takes anywhere between 21 days to 66 days to form a new habit. This means that once you start making your schedule, you have to give yourself time to adjust to sticking to it so you can be sure that you’re allowing yourself a fair chance to succeed. This time will also allow you to make any necessary tweaks to your schedule to make it easy for you to stick to. Sometimes, your first schedule doesn’t work out. You should remember that your daily schedule is meant to benefit you, so go ahead and tweak away.
Therefore, you need to make a schedule to practice the behavior you want to build into a habit. Be sure not to overdo it initially because if you dive in too fast and expect results right away, you will likely fail and become discouraged at the beginning only.
So, start small and do it consistently to imprint it in your subconscious mind. When things get imprinted in the subconscious mind consistently, it builds habits over time. That is required to build long-term momentum for success.
People who do small work consistently over time yield better results than those who do hard work inconsistently and for a short period.
