There are seven
disciplines you must develop if you want to achieve
all that is possible for you. You can
learn these disciplines through practice and
repetition until they become
automatic.
1. Daily goal setting: Every morning, take three
to five minutes to write out your top ten goals in the present tense. Get a
spiral
notebook for this
purpose. By writing out your ten goals at the beginning of each day, you
will program them deep into your subconscious
mind. This daily goal writing will
activate
your mental powers.
It will stimulate your mind and
make you more alert. Throughout the day, you will see opportunities and possibilities
to move more rapidly toward your goals.
2. Daily planning
and organizing: Take a
few minutes, preferably the night before, to plan out every activity of the coming day. Always
work from a list. Always
think on paper.
This is one of the most powerful and important disciplines of all
for high performance.
3. Daily priority setting: The essence of all
time management, personal management, and life management is contained in your ability to set the proper priorities
on the use of your time. You could possibly do and start work immediately on your task. This is essential for high performance.
4. Daily concentration on your
highest-value activities: Your ability to work single- mindlessly on your most important task will
contribute as much
to your success as any other discipline you can develop.
5. Daily exercise and proper nutrition: Your
health is more important than anything else. By disciplining yourself to exercise regularly
and to eat carefully, you will promote the highest possible levels of health and fitness throughout your life.
6. Daily learning and growth: Your mind is like a muscle. If
you don't use it, you lose
it.
Continuous learning is the
minimum requirement for success in any field.
7. Daily time for the important people in your life: Relationships
are everything. Be sure that in climbing
the ladder of success, you do not find it leaning
against the wrong building.
Build time for your relationships
into every day, no matter how busy you get.
These seven
disciplines will ensure that you perform at the highest level and get the greatest satisfaction and
results from everything you do.
