In whatever obstacle you’re attempting to overcome, it’s vital to retain drive and determination. Sure, success demands a lot from us, and that’s why willpower should never be understated. If you chat with any successful person, they will tell you that determination does not come naturally. Instead, they found ways to harness its capabilities and use its natural talents more effectively. Here are three ways to better foster your determination and stay focused on your goals:

Set up your day the night before.

Before you go to sleep, make some basic decisions about what you will do tomorrow, such as what you will wear, what you will eat for lunch, and the route you will take to work. It is easier to pack a healthy lunch the night before than to decide what you are going to have with a hot dog vendor parked in front of your workplace. Getting into the habit of planning your day will remove your easiest decisions from the table, making it easier to avoid getting sidetracked and wasting time and energy.

Do the most difficult tasks first.

The most difficult duties will not get easier the more we fret about them or put them off. We will only waste energy that would be better spent by just digging in. Approach the hardest job of your day right away, while you are still fresh and have the energy. Research has shown that our minds are sharpest in the morning, which is why we should use the mornings to tackle our toughest jobs. After these are out of the way, we can relax and take care of the more routine work that doesn’t require much mental strain, ability, and energy.

Eliminate distractions and time-wasters.

In life, emergencies are guaranteed and will certainly cause disruption to your normal routine. However, the majority of situations that distract us are not emergencies and do not require us to respond right away. Choose to stay mindful of where you place your energy. By not responding to every small inconvenience that comes your way, you can avoid such distractions and take advantage of the peace of mind that uninterrupted work brings.
