Do it and you can beat procrastination

Chapter 16 Don't be in a hurry!Goals come true (1)
A person with a clear goal and a well-thought-out plan has his own ideas and will put them into action. He will not waste time on the sidelines, nor will he be discouraged in the face of setbacks. As long as he has made a decision to act, he should move forward bravely.But many people have clearly planned, considered, and even made a decision, but they are still timid, indecisive, and procrastinating until they lose confidence in themselves and finally fall into a situation of failure.
The road to success is paved with goals
Some people say that goals are the magic weapon for success; others say that life is zero for those without clear goals.It can be seen how critical it is to formulate clear goals for a person's success.If a person's success is compared to a building, then the goal is the cornerstone of the building.How important is setting clear goals to a person's success?
According to statistics, [-]% of those who have efficient execution have clear goals.They continue to achieve one goal after another, and their living conditions and overall mental state are very good.Their energy always seems to be high, so they live in the upper class of society and lead a superior and fulfilling life.And a person who procrastinates and has severe procrastination often has no clear goals, or even no goals.They have nothing to do every day and don't know what to do, so they have no fighting spirit. The confusion makes them lose the vitality to do things, and procrastination has become their "label".They can only live at the bottom of society, and often make friends with complaints.
That's how obvious goals are to people. There is such an incisive passage in "Thinking about Wealth": "If a person has a goal and pursues it persistently, he can achieve an amazing achievement." This is the role of the goal, it is the lamp that lights up life .
·Harvard Business School Survey
Someone asked President Roosevelt who graduated from Harvard: "Dear President, can you give some advice to those who are eager to succeed, especially those who are young and just out of school?"
The president shook his head modestly, but he went on to say: "However, sir, your question reminds me of something when I was young. At that time, I was studying at Bennington College and wanted to find a job while studying. It would be better if I could find a job in the telecommunications industry, so that I could still take a few credits. My father contacted me and made an appointment to meet one of his friends, who was the chairman of Radio Corporation of America at the time. General Sallov. When I met General Sallov alone, he directly asked me what kind of job I was looking for, and which job type? I think I like any job in his company, it doesn’t matter Choose or not. I told him that any job is fine!
"The general stopped his busy work, stared at me, and said seriously, young man, there is no such thing as a 'casual' job in the world, and the road to success is paved with goals!"
The president's words are thought-provoking.And his alma mater, Harvard Business School, has a very famous follow-up survey on the impact of goals on life, which also confirms the president's words.Harvard Business School surveyed a group of young people with similar intelligence, education, and environment. The survey found that:
27% have no goals;
60% of people have vague goals;
10% of people have clear but relatively short-term goals;
3% of people have clear and long-term goals.
The 25-year follow-up study found that their living conditions and distribution are very interesting.Those 3% who have clear and long-term goals have hardly changed their life goals in 25 years. Over the past 25 years, they have all worked tirelessly in the same direction. After 25 years, almost all of them have become top successful people in all walks of life. Among them are self-made entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and social elites.
Those 10% who have clear short-term goals mostly live in the middle and upper classes of society.Their common feature is that those short-term goals are constantly being achieved, their living conditions are steadily rising, and they have become indispensable professionals in all walks of life, such as doctors, lawyers, engineers, and senior executives.Among them, 60% of those with ambiguous goals almost all live in the middle and lower classes of society. They can live and work stably, but they have no special achievements.The remaining 27% are those who have no goals for 25 years, almost all of them live at the bottom of the society.Their lives are unsatisfactory, often unemployed, relying on social relief, and often complaining about others, the society, and the world.
The investigators therefore concluded that goals play a huge guiding role in life.Success is just a choice at the beginning. What kind of goal you choose will determine the kind of life you will have.
Therefore, when Harvard Business School recruits students, it pays great attention to absorbing those students who have excellent goals and are willing to work hard to achieve them.
· Know exactly what you need
Successful people are all clear about their goals.They have clear goals and will take concrete actions.They know what they want and how to achieve it.They set the goal, and at the same time decide the path to be taken toward that goal.
Reaching a goal is success, and everyone can continue to achieve success if they can continuously achieve their goals.
Successful people know how important it is to set goals step by step.Therefore, different goals can be set at different ages.For example, when you are 20 years old, you can make the following plans: "1-year goal", "2-year goal", "3-year goal", "4-year goal", and so on.
However, successful people are successful because success is achieved slowly through hard work.Many people waste their time in slow movements; in meaningless chatter; in looking up useless information; Wasted in the rhetoric of well-known arguments; wasted in making a fuss over trifling incidents; wasted in the endless bustle of trifles and the never-ending process of "chatterboxes" once opened.These people spend their time recklessly on unimportant and non-urgent activities while relegating activities that are really related to achieving important goals.Because the content of the plan is not put in the first place, even if the plan is worked hard, it cannot be implemented, and most of the results fail.
Then there are those who love to make party plans and cut and paste newspapers.They spend far more time on these things than on establishing life plans.
The daily goal of a successful person must be formulated at least in the evening or evening of the previous day, and the order of the things that should be done the next day should be made, and at least 6 or more clear contents must be written.So when they woke up the next morning, they went to practice one by one according to the order of things.
At the end of each day, they double-check the goals list.Completed projects are marked with pens, new projects are added, and those that have not been completed within one day will be postponed to the next day.
What happens if you go to a department store and you don't have a shopping budget?When you walk in the hall full of products, the advertisements on TV come to your mind, and the new products in front of you dazzle you and arouse your desire to buy.As a result, you come back with a full load, and the bag is full of things that you didn't plan to buy, didn't need, or even disgusted you.
A successful goal should be considered from two aspects of reality and long-term interests, which are beneficial to yourself and your family.
Goals should be clear.The brain only does what you decide to do.It is impossible to have definite behavior without giving it definite information.
So, what exactly does it take to engage in positive goal setting?The secret is to clearly define the goal, put it in writing and keep it safe.Then, as if that goal had been achieved, imagine the pleasure you would have in talking about it with your friends, and keep it that way.
No matter what goal you set, make it a part of your life and move towards that goal unconsciously.
The wind has lost its meaning to the small boats that do not know where to drift.A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder. "When the wind blows, some ships will sail to the east, while others will sail to the west. Their course does not depend on where the wind comes from, but on which side the sails on the ship go." This is so similar to life.In the "ocean" of life, the passing time is like the wind blowing on the ship, and the only one who raises the sail is you.Nothing that happens around you can take the place of driving your own boat.
Don't forget to hold on to your "rudder" firmly.Once you have a plan, execute it without procrastinating.One day at a time, take action immediately, choose the right goal, and implement it unswervingly to the end.
· Set clear and clear goals
Dr. Maxwell Morez, a famous American plastic surgeon, said in "The Pillar of Life": "Anyone is a goal seeker. Once a goal is reached, the next day must work hard for other goals... It is to start, run, and correct the direction, just like driving on the road, sometimes taking a short rest on the side road, and then continuing to run on the road. All kinds of experiences on the journey are intoxicating, exciting, Be ecstatic, because it's under your control, within your domain, to give it your all."
A life without a goal is aimless and lacks direction, just like a ship without a helmsman or a compass when traveling, it will make you at a loss.
A clear goal can double or even multiply your efforts.If you have too many goals, you will be overwhelmed and exhausted, and your efforts will not be rewarded accordingly because your efforts are not focused enough.A rich man wanted to ask the tribal leader for a piece of land.The tribal leader gave him a pole and asked him to insert the pole in an appropriate place, and promised him that if he could return before sunset, he would give him the land between the leader's station and the pole.Because of greed, the rich man traveled too far. Not only did he not come back before sunset, but he died of exhaustion on the way.This rich man did not have his own goal, or the goal was not specific, so he failed.
When Carnegie, the steel king, decided to make steel, he always remembered his goal and made it his motivation to work hard.He sought the cooperation of a friend, and because this friend was deeply moved by Carnegie's persistent strength, he contributed his own strength to help him; with the common enthusiasm of two people, he finally persuaded two other people to join in.These four people eventually became the core figures of the Carnegie kingdom. They formed a think tank, and the four people raised enough funds to achieve their goals, and each of them became a huge rich in the end.But the key to the success of these 2 people is not just hard work. You may also find that there are people who work as hard as you, or even harder than you, but do not succeed.Education was not a critical factor either. Walton never received a Rhodes Scholarship, but he made more money than anyone who attended Harvard.
Great achievements come from a positive attitude, and no matter what you do, your attitude will play a role in what you do.Having a positive attitude means that your actions and thoughts are contributing to the achievement of your goals; having a negative attitude means that your actions and thoughts are constantly canceling out your efforts.When you set clear goals, you should also have a positive attitude.However, setting clear goals and having a positive attitude does not mean that you will get the resources you need immediately. Depends on the circumstances of the self-limitation.
If you don't have a clear goal yet, then you should put down other things at hand and think carefully about the goal that suits you.
If you have too many goals, it will only dazzle you. You should write them all on paper, analyze them one by one, delete the unimportant ones, and leave the goals that are most important to you and most suitable for you to pursue.Then, make it your goal to strive for.If you find that this goal is different from your general direction, you can adjust your goal at any time.
Goals refer to the goals or standards you want to achieve. With goals, efforts will have direction.When a person has a clear goal, he will concentrate his energy, and what he thinks and does every day is basically in line with the goal he wants to achieve, so as to avoid doing useless work.In order to achieve the goal, you can always be in a state of actively seeking development, give full play to your subjective initiative, devote yourself to study and work energetically, be able to get rid of the influence of vulgar interests, and be able to give up something in order to achieve the goal and devote yourself to learning , therefore, the accumulation of advantages can be realized as soon as possible.It's like climbing Mount Tai. People who aimlessly walk around casually, visit Dai Temple for a while, choose a few beautiful scenery for photography, wander east and west, and it will be dark before reaching Zhongtian Gate; on the contrary, if you put If the goal is to reach the top of the mountain as soon as possible, you will look around and stay inadvertently like participating in a mountaineering competition, and of course you will reach the top of the mountain relatively quickly.
The Art of Suspension: Criteria for Developing Clear Goals
Brian Tracy is a well-known efficiency improvement guru in the world. He once said: "The most important thing for success is to know what you want. The most important factor for success is to set a clear, specific and measurable goal." Therefore, if a person wants to succeed, he must formulate clear and definite goals. The specific reference standards are as follows.
1. Goals should be specific
To set clear goals, first of all avoid the goal is not specific.One day, you set a vague goal on a whim, such as "I must succeed in the future", then the establishment of this goal does not make any sense.Because, it's not specific enough. "Success" is a general term. Whether you want to be successful as a person, or want to be successful in a certain industry, or just talk about success in terms of money, etc., is too imprecise.Therefore, this goal cannot be a guiding light on your way forward.When you set goals, be sure to be specific enough, such as "I must become an excellent doctor" and so on.Only in this way can we better play the guiding role of the goal.
2. The goal should be clear
The role of a goal for a person is that it has directionality and can guide people in the direction they are going.However, if a person sets a vague goal, not only will others not see the clue, but he will also feel confused sometimes.Such a goal also loses the meaning of a beacon, because even the framers don't know what it represents.Therefore, when you set your goals, you must be clear, and if necessary, you can make the goals public so that everyone knows what your goals are.
3. Goals should be feasible
The ultimate goal of any great goal lies in implementation.The key to the formulated goal is to be feasible. A non-feasible goal is just empty talk and daydreaming.For example, someone sets a goal: I want to be Superman.Then this goal is not feasible. If you want to achieve it, there is no entry point at all, and you don't know where to start.Such a goal is tantamount to daydreaming. It can only be realized in a dream, and there is no chance to realize it in the real world.
Focus on the goal and persevere
Success requires focus, but few people can achieve it.Want to do this today, want to do that tomorrow, half-hearted has become a common problem for most people.In fact, it is enough for a person to focus on one thing in his life and do it well.
However, people are often unable to focus on one thing due to greed, facing many temptations, and always change their original intentions easily, and finally get nothing.As Carnegie said: "A person should only think about one thing at a time, and persevere, so that he can hope to get it. But some people think about everything, and finally get nothing."
