3 Mindset Hacks To Boost Performance

Since it’s Friday, we thought we’d do something a little bit different…

Today, we’re sharing 3 mindset hacks anyone can use to boost productivity and eliminate procrastination. Friday is the #1 day to procrastinate right?

So stop putting things off until next week, and test out these 3 strategies today!

#1 - Clarity

Having “clarity” is all about setting clear goals and a clear system to reach the end destination.

Start by setting SMART goals.

• Specific — The goal is attached to an outcome that is specified by a number

• Measurable — Progress can be measured and broken into milestones

• Achievable — You have the resources needed to achieve the goal

• Realistic — The goal can actually be achieved within your timeframe

• Timely — A date is set for achieving the goal

A goal serves as a roadmap. It takes the starting point and the end point and shows how to get there. But there also needs to be a system to follow to get there.

A system acts like the vehicle that transports a person to their goal. It helps them accomplish it.

#2 - Chunking

Chunking is the act of breaking down a large goal into small chunks or manageable pieces. This is so important because it is super easy to get overwhelmed when faced with big goals.

But even when there is a large goal, that goal should not be the daily focus.

Break that huge goal into the smallest bits possible. Each bit should be something that is NOT intimidating. Something that feels entirely doable.

This will make it easy to take action.

#3 - Consistency

The goal is set, the plan is laid out, and the system is in place to make it happen. Now is the time to work toward that goal consistently. And that means creating daily habits.

Working at attaining a goal every day will make that a habit - a regular part of life. Working it every day makes it grow stronger, like a muscle.

Soon it becomes second nature.

However, the key is to focus on the system, not the goal. Having a goal is critical, but the focus should be on the daily system to get there.

It’s all about persistence.

This is literally the secret weapon of successful people. The people who achieve great success in anything are masters of persistence and consistency. They also have a long-term mentality.

They know how to plan for the long-term, while still focusing on the path directly in front of them.

And even when things don’t go as smoothly as planned, they persist at it until they achieve their goal!
