This article explores essential habits that, when embraced, can transform us into more disciplined individuals, paving the way for personal and professional accomplishments

5 Habits to Imbibe On to Be a More Disciplined Person

Below are simple habits you need to imbibe to make you a more disciplined person:

1. Set Great, Yet Easily Attainable Goals

It’s one thing to have some sets of things in mind that you want to do and accomplish and it’s entirely another thing to accomplish those things.

It’s of no use when you set goals that are not easily attainable. It would even mean you would need to work extra and longer hours to achieve them.

You might lose focus and get discouraged that your goals are not being attained.

Therefore, to be a disciplined person, it’s very paramount that you endeavor to set great goals that are chunked into smaller bits, and that are also easily attainable.

For instance, if you want to set a goal as a writer to be consistent in your article updates.

For a start, you may tell yourself, you want to be writing at least 3 articles in a day. Which seems like a herculean task sort of. You’d be thinking!

You’d notice you will feel stressed out, and be under pressure to meet up to write 3 articles in a day.

But if you tell yourself, it’s important to be consistent in coming up with good/great quality articles at least 3/4 times a week.

That way, you will be more organized in your thoughts and come up with insightful write-ups. Instead of otherwise!

Therefore, when you do this over time, you’d become disciplined in the process and stick with the routine of coming up with good quality write-ups 3/4 times each week.

It might be otherwise when unforeseen events happen. But before then, this is a step to being disciplined and being consistent at least as a writer.

2. Manage Your Time Properly

Time is everything. The way you manage your time greatly has a way of telling how your life has been over the years and up to this very moment.

Hence, it will be very easy for someone to tell if you’re a highly disciplined person by how well you manage your time.

Those who are highly disciplined have over time, mastered how to accurately manage their time properly. By sticking to their routines or schedules to the letter.

And if peradventure, an unforeseen circumstance comes up, they would endeavor to call in to say, they are sorry that they fell behind time, or that they would be late, or that they won’t be able to make it, etc.

Therefore, one of the ways to manage time properly if you lack proper time management is to have a to-do list for the day with time allocated to each task.

Each task has to be simple and easily achievable instead of otherwise. This way, you will at least meet up with time for them. And would be greatly fulfilled at the end of the day.

3. Be Very Decisive and Completely Committed to the Task at Hand

It’s one thing to make a decision you want to do this or that. And it’s another thing to follow through on what you want to achieve.

Being a disciplined person is a thing that requires you to be very organized and very solid about your decisions and whatever you want. It’s of no use being so busy, and not achieving much or being productive.

This would only mean, you’re wasting your precious time and energy so irrelevant tasks.

Which would mean you’re only running in circles and not doing much.

Hence to be a more disciplined person. You’d need to be very certain with your decisions and stick with the tasks at hand rather than otherwise.

And make sure you accomplish a task before moving on to the other. This way you’re more organized and more productive.

4. Shut Out All Forms of Distractions

Distractions are all around us. Ranging from social media to TV/Netflix, the pressure to please your friends and family members so they don’t see you as being odd or weird, and a whole lot more.

But to go very far in life, you need to at least balance both your productive life and your social life.

You’d have to endeavor each day to at least create time for both so that one does not suffer.

But even at that, you’d need to shut out every form of distraction that is not helping you grow either mentally, spiritually, or emotionally.

Anything that stands as a threat to your growth. And that would prevent you from being who you want to be and should be shut out.

Hence, if you’re supposed to be studying now for an exam, turn off the TV, and phones and study for your exams.

If you’re to be practicing a musical instrument and you’re eating what you’re not supposed to that would hamper your voice from performing the way it should.

Or anything else that might prevent you not performing at your very best needs to be shut out, and never allowed in ever again.

5. Take Action Now!

And you don’t take action or step into accomplishing any of them. It’s just a total waste of time yeah?

Hence, to be a step closer to being that disciplined person you want to be, you need to endeavor to take action now!

Do not wait for any second to be skeptical about whether to go ahead with the plans or not.

Take a step now and along the way, the pieces will fall in place and you’ll see that you will be just fine.

Going steady, you’d see your efforts yielding many fruits for you.

Final Thought

In the journey of life, discipline acts as a guiding force, steering us towards our desired destinations.

By incorporating simple yet powerful habits into our daily lives, we lay the foundation for a more disciplined and purposeful existence.

Remember, discipline is not a destination but a continuous journey of self-improvement.

Embrace these habits, stay committed, and witness the positive transformation they bring to your life over time.
