Actually, I used to be a serious procrastinator, and it was difficult to concentrate. I was looking for some information on the Internet, but I started using Weibo and WeChat unconsciously. It took a few hours to wake up, and I was dragging, which was extremely inefficient.
Now, my day is busy and full. Get up in the morning to watch the plan of 20 18, strengthen personal goals, read books for about an hour after washing, and read some online materials on the way to work. Brush Zhihu at noon, go to the gym at night, study for a while after you come back, and do some part-time jobs. Write a reflective diary at 1 1 in the evening to summarize the gains and losses of the day.
I thought self-discipline had nothing to do with me, but I was wrong. If you want to be self-disciplined, it's not difficult.
First, we must have clear goals.
Most of our procrastination, confusion and anxiety are caused by lack of goals. Because you have no goal, no sense of direction, no concentration, you are easily attracted by other things, for example, you are obviously preparing to study, but you have been chatting and watching movies.
The goal should be reasonable and predictable, and don't set an impossible goal for yourself. When you really want to accomplish something, your subconscious will have a desire for the goal and drive you to achieve it.
Second, form a standardized life.
Those excellent people are not because they have extraordinary willpower. Psychologists have given a set of data. In a day, only 5% of things are under their control, and the other 95% are uncontrollable.
So, those chicken soup articles you read are just a shot of chicken blood, which temporarily improves your willpower. When your willpower is exhausted, you should do what you want, which is why chicken soup is useless.
Excellent people are excellent because their lives are standardized and they have developed one good habit after another. At a certain time, habits will push them to do things without relying on willpower.
When you think of the college entrance examination, you will know that you can still study so hard every day, because life at that time was standardized and orderly, and once you get to college, it will be difficult to persist in doing one thing.
In the final analysis, it is to form one habit after another. However, you can only change one habit at a time. Many people set many goals for themselves at once, and they all failed in the end. Why? Because willpower is limited, change means consuming willpower, changing several habits at a time, and willpower has long been exhausted.
Be patient and don't be eager for quick success. We can cultivate a core habit first, which can play an important role, cause a chain reaction and drive the development of other habits.
For example, my core habit is reading. Later, I had to get up early to study, so I got into the habit of getting up early. In order to keep my energy, I got into the habit of keeping fit. In fact, fitness is also a core habit. When you develop all kinds of habits, just like snowballing, your whole life will be highly accustomed to it, and your life will begin from now on.
Third, some energy management skills.
1. Ways to enhance willpower
Exercise: Exercise can greatly enhance people's willpower, because exercise needs to constantly challenge ourselves and can increase the limit of our willpower.
Go to bed early and get up early: keep enough sleep, people are energetic and active in thinking. Without enough sleep, people will feel sluggish and sluggish.
2. Ways to improve your attention
Meditation: Meditation has many advantages, which can not only improve the quality of sleep, but also improve negative emotions, improve the quality of attention and activate thinking. Studies have shown that people's attention can be significantly improved as long as they meditate for more than ten hours. Many patients with depression have significant effects through meditation.
The method of meditation is to lie on your back, take a deep breath and pay attention to your breathing. You can say "breathe" and "suck" in your mind with the rhythm of breathing. If you are distracted, start over. Meditate for 5 minutes every day, which will make you memorable.
Pomodoro technique: Focusing on what you do in 25 minutes and getting rid of everything irrelevant to the present can greatly improve your attention.
3. Eliminate interference projects
Cut off the cell phone signal: when a cell phone sends a message, most people will habitually take a look and then fall into endless delay. So you can temporarily isolate the interference of the mobile phone, disconnect the network or put the mobile phone in another place.
Keep the environment clean and tidy: the environment has a great influence on people. Clean the room, keep the environment clean and tidy and create a good learning atmosphere.
This is how I became self-disciplined. To repeat, self-discipline needs a process, and I can't rush it. I can only change one habit at a time. After forming one habit, I can form the next.
Many friends have some questions, please reply uniformly:
1, self-discipline, goals are the most important. There is some psychological knowledge involved here. I was afraid that everyone would get bored, so I omitted it. Simply put, if you have a clear goal, your subconscious will have a strong desire for it and will drive you to do your best to achieve it, so self-discipline is not difficult.
