10 Principles of Consistency | How to Stay Consistent at Anything | OLG

The key to Sustainability is Simplicity.

Let’s be real, life will hit you with it’s up and downs along the way, and if you’ve made things too difficult and complicated for yourself, it would be much harder for you to carry on in the rough patches.

Creativity – in the right place – is certainly a must and has its own place.

Don’t waste your creative efforts in petty things especially as you are starting off. Choose flow and efficiency in routine tasks so that you don’t have to waste your mental energy on the small stuff.

Just seek enough information so you have a solid strategy and then focus all your energy on delivering . Don’t fret if you’re not getting results right away. Things take their time.

Stop analyzing too much. You’ll have more peace of mind and you’ll be able to focus on delivering your best. Don’t buy into negative thoughts and doubts.

Things take time to develop. The success stories we hear of people who blew-up overnight are exceptional cases, not a norm.

Aim the highest, but set realistic goals and expectations.

Work hard, but remember to pace yourself and take some time to breathe, enjoy and relax along the way.

Switch things up a little up to refresh your mind and spirits.

To attain perfection can take a LONG time IF there is such a thing as perfection in the human world.

Things don’t always have to go smoothly and go the way we expect. It’s okay to make mistakes, and it’s not a big deal if we mess things up sometimes.

Learning to say NO is an essential part of being consistent.

Prioritize and don’t let any distractions drag you away from your priority tasks. If you made a commitment to a certain thing, keep it high on your priority list and say No to anything that might get in the way.

Sometimes life can get in the way no matter how hard we try to commit, and that is totally natural. The thing that determines your consistency is Not how perfectly you follow through, but how fast you come back to your commitment if you get off track.

Instead of beating yourself up, accept it and be forgiving towards yourself, and then get back to it!

Whether you’re seeking consistency in your personal life or professional life, make it a point to set a specific system so that everything clicks, instead of you thinking about the order of thing or the tiny details every time you do something.

Also, look towards automating as many things as you can through apps and online services.
