10 Habits of Personal Effectives

If you are willing to work on yourself long enough and hard enough, you can form and shape yourself into the kind of excellent person you are designed to be.

1. Think long term – the greater clarity you have regarding your long term goals, the better and more accurate decisions you will make in the short term to assume that you achieve your goals on schedule. Be clear about the goal but flexible about the process. Be open to the fact that a thousand things will change on the road to your long-term goals.
2. Review your goals daily – develop the habit of regular goal setting. Re-write your goals every morning before you start out in the present tense – as though they were already realities. The habit of daily goal setting acts like a turbocharger on your potential, moving you more rapidly toward your goals than you ever thought possible.
3. 10-goal exercise – write 10 goals for the next year in the present tense and put it away, like a Christmas wish list. Writing your goals programs them into your subconscious mind and activates your superconscious faculties. You will activate the Law of Attraction and begin attracting people, circumstances, ideas, and resources into your life that help you in the most remarkable ways. By the Law of Correspondence, your outer world will become a reflection of your inner world. The more you think about your goals, the faster you will move toward them and the faster the will moves toward you.
4. Start each day with a list – develop the habit of beginning each day with a list of everything you have to do that day. Develop the habit of setting clear priorities on your list before you begin work. Determine the tasks and activities that will give you the highest return on energy of the amount of time you invest.
5.   Get the job done completely – develop the habit of starting on your most important task and staying with it until it is 100% complete. Single-minded concentration on one thing is one of the most powerful habits you can develop for personal productivity.
6. Work hard – develop the habit of working longer and harder than most people. Work all the time you work. This habit will increase your productivity from 50%-100%.
7. Work fast – develop a sense of urgency. Develop the habit of getting the job done quickly. Pick up the pace. Move more rapidly from place to place and from task to task. Be known as the person who gets things done quickly, rather than the person who gets things done when they get around it.
8. Work smart – develop the habit of doing the most important things. Make sure whatever you are doing at the moment is the most important thing you could be doing. Otherwise, you will end up putting more important tasks aside.
9.  Work on your strengths – develop the habit of working on those things you are better at. The more time you spend doing things you are better at, the better you get at those task and activities and the more of them you get done in a shorter period of time
10. Look into yourself – look at your own life and work. Ask yourself, “What are the factors that determine how rapidly I achieve my most important goals?” Develop the habit of looking into yourself for the solutions to your problems. Ask “What is it in me that is holding me back from achieving this goal?”

Your purpose should be to fulfill your potential as a human being and to accomplish every goal you can possibly set for yourself. Your aim should be to get the very most out of yourself. Your aim should be to get the very most out of yourself, in every area of your life.
