6 Secret Arms of The Goal Achiever
How to stick to your goals?
Let’s see how to beat those distractions.
And how to become more disciplined.
1. So, for the next 7 days, do this:
→ Grab your journal
→ And jot down moments when you feel tempted or lose focus
I mean every day for the next 7 days.
For example:
→ “I checked social media too often when I should have been working”
2. At the end of each day, review your notes.
What’s your goal here?
→ Identifying common distractions
For example:
→ Social media (especially Instagram Reels)
→ Snacks (especially sweet snacks)
3. Now, it’s time to reflect.
Reflect on how each distraction affects your ability to get things done.
Ask yourself:
→ How does this distraction make me feel mentally and emotionally?
For example:
→ Checking Instagram Reels might make me lose track of time
→ Eating snacks might make me feel guilty and stressed about finishing my tasks.
4. Okay, we’ve learned something about ourselves, right?
Great! Now, based on what you’ve learned, do this:
→ Make a plan to reduce or remove your distractions
For example:
→ Turn off notifications
→ Set limits on Instagram
→ Keep tempting snacks out of sight
→ Stop buying those snacks — even better!
5. Now, based on your plan, start making small changes.
Just small adjustments in your behavior.
For example:
→ You can set a rule to only check Instagram after you finish work
→ You can eat more frequently during the day so you don’t need snacks
I mean eating healthy
Ever tried a Strawberry Smoothie?
Delicious!
But use coconut milk, not classic milk.
You know what I mean!
6. Alright! To finish, celebrate your small improvements each day.
As we know, discipline is a journey.
So we need small celebrations every day — yep, every day!
This simple exercise will help you:
→ Be more focused
→ Build self-discipline
→ Eliminate distractions
→ Stay on track with your goals
→ (And maybe eat healthier)
