Track your current situation to get realistic expectations

One of the main things people fail and get disappointed in is having high expectations without knowing their potential. You can’t expect to get up at 5:00 am to work 3 hours on a project and then spend 8 hours working in a row if you’re not used to it.

The only thing you are going to achieve with that is burnout. It is better to focus on what you can achieve now and see what time you can achieve what you want to do.

Block your working time

In an ideal world, we could all be multitasking, but this is not the case. There’s just a small percent of people who are good at this.

Rest is as important as the work you are doing

Self-employment requires more self-control than you may realize.

If you don’t control your hours, there will come a moment where you won’t be able to do anything even if you force yourself. For this reason, you must respect your hours of rest.

Learn to automate repetitive tasks

For example:

  • In investments, have alerts of the price you want to sell your stocks and automatic orders. 
  • In your social networks, have the content that you are going to publish automated
  • Have a pre-designed introduction email for the different offers that you are usually used to receiving.

Reduce your Goals

Most people set too many goals that they spread themselves too thin and accomplish nothing.

According to the expectancy theory of motivation, you need a clear and compelling outcome, as well as a clear path to achieving that outcome. Without these, you lack motivation and procrastinate. Hope theory argues the same thing: To have hope, you need a goal and a path to achieving that goal.
