Run the 10-year plan Affairs for six months - it's real

Psychologist and personal efficiency expert Benjamin Hardy (Benjamin P. Hardy) in its blog to Medium showed why we are capable, even the most ambitious goals by focusing on their performance and not waste time on nonsense.

Estimate how much time we have actually

On average, in the month of 720 hours (30 days × 24 hours). Subtract therefrom 240 hours of sleep (30 days × 8 hours), 160 hours of work (4 weeks × 40 hours), 60 hours for food (30 days × 2 hours) and obtain free 280 hours per month.

In the year - 3360 hours (12 months × 280 hours). Of course, the calculations are averaged, but still.

During these hours you can read a mountain of books, learn new skills and make a lot of useful things. But more often we waste it, naively believing that the whole life ahead, and we do still have time.

Do not say that you are all different. The situation will remain the same as long as you deny the habit of postponing things for later. To take action, it is important to recognize that we do not always manage time properly.

Understand which takes time

scientists estimateInternet trendsThat the average person is distracted by the smartphone 150 times a day. Half of the participants in the experiment does not believe the data that people believe what they do is no more than 30 times. So, sometimes we unconsciously distracted by a smartphone.

This is the complexity of the modern world: we are too accustomed to technology. It is difficult to imagine life without the smartphones. We can not fully be here and now.

But we have to change it if you really want to perform a 10-year plan for the 6 months. You can not achieve the planned spending time on social networks, or watching television.

To see if you properly dispose of time, ask yourself a few questions:

• How you sit on the Internet?
• How much of this time do you spend on useful lessons?
• When was the last time you went to the Internet for a purpose in and out when the goal has been achieved?
• How much time do you spend with your family and friends without the phone?

If you can not answer, then, is likely to spend time on the web unconsciously. You are less productive than you think.

Properly dispose of time

To execute a great plan of affairs in the short term, it is first necessary to learn time management. But there are other useful tips.

Learn to appreciate the time

Realize that you are not eternal. You see, life is not infinitely long, and one day it will end. This is a good incentive to reconsider the case, plans and habits in order to make the most of the allotted time.

Just imagine that half a year left to live. Is unlikely to be in this case, you have continued to sleep till noon, spend hours scrolling tape in social networks. Reaches out as if time is running out.

Determine life priorities and values

Revise the plan of cases in accordance with a clear awareness of what exactly you want to achieve. Delete from the plan imposed on society and culture. Leave what you really need. Goals will be less, but achieving them will be realized. You will start to act more quickly, knowing that execute a plan for yourself, not because someone said so.

Do not be afraid to fail

Get to work without fear of fail. Even if it goes wrong, like you have in mind, you get to experience. Do not regard failure as a sign that you need to give up the goal. Think of it as a chance to take into account previous mistakes, correct them, and hit the ground a second time with renewed vigor and knowledge.

Find what motivates you

fultaym work and three children - is no obstacle on the way to implementation of 10-year-old to-do list for six months, if you are motivated to work on yourself. Of course, in this case, will have to learn more and faster, the schedule will be tight. But with firm intention to achieve the result you're sure to do that. No matter what.
