Question – do you have desirable goals<\/a> or even big dreams?

Now, are you achieving these ambitions or at least making steady progress?

Many of us, despite repeatedly setting new intentions, fail to follow through, falling into predictable inaction.

If you want to start seeing results, it’s time to harness the power of the daily discipline checklist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why it works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When we go to school, we take it for granted that our days are structured.

Registration is at a set time each morning and our attendance is noted.

We have a timetable to attend our classes at allotted hours and breaks are set throughout the day.

If we start missing classes, punishment results, normally in the form of detention.

It’s a very structured, disciplined system and on the whole, works well.

Children know what’s expected of them and follow the rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a setup also helps prepare us for the expectations of the working world.

We sign contacts to attend our jobs on agreed days and times.

We have meetings booked in our schedules to ensure we’re working towards common goals<\/a>.

We also have regular reviews with our employers to maintain our performance and set new objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The common reality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So how does our personal life compare to our professional existence?

On a typical day off, many of us sleep late, before waking up to doomscroll through social media.

Instead of going to the gym as we planned, we have a breakfast of champions.

In the afternoon, rather than researching that idea for a new company, we watch the weekend sport instead.

Then it’s early evening and time for the first beer.

Those intentions to get fit and start your own company die another day and you beat yourself yet again.

Time slips by<\/a> in such a haze, causing a cognitive dissonance as our intentions and behaviours misalign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s nothing wrong with rest and recuperation, which are essential components of high performance.

However, it’s when we want one thing and act in opposition of that aim that problems start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If any of this resonates, it’s a good time to ask yourself if you truly want to achieve your goals<\/a> or whether they simply sound good in theory – a comforting little fantasy when you’re down in the dumps.

If you prefer your current lifestyle, there’s nothing wrong with that. Enjoy it.

If you do want to achieve your goals, however, it takes sacrifice.

Relinquishing easy things and replacing them with hard things you don’t want to do.

This is where we need to go back to school and create a daily discipline checklist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much of my own personal growth can be tracked backed to this practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
