It is not a magic wand that is going to change us overnight, it would be great… but it needs organization and discipline. The highest performance is obtained based on method, focus and having your goal clear, this is what will lead you to obtain the best results, both in your personal and professional life.
To achieve maximum performance and the best results, it is also necessary that our nervous system is balanced, so avoid exciting things like coffee, learn not to take everything personally, relativize the importance of things, improve your adaptation to change and focus only on what you are doing at all times to avoid stress.
Organization
If it is important in your personal life, in your professional life it is essential. Try to create your own organization at work, and you will save time and save effort. Create your own method by making a template with your daily, weekly, monthly and annual tasks, and date and time them. Not only will you avoid forgetting them, but you will also gain efficiency.
Use all the tools at your fingertips such as the outlook or google calendar, and the hundreds of free and paid software that you can find on the internet to make your tasks easier. Create routines like leaving notes before leaving the things that will be preferred the next day, have a good filing system both on paper and on your PC, etc. Organizing your current position by creating your own method will help you achieve better performance.
Focus, focus and focus
We have already talked about the approach before, especially 6 months ago in the article '3 Keys to enjoying more time in your personal life'. It is about putting 'all' our attention on what we are doing, that is what it means to 'live here and now'. Being focused is essential to achieve high performance.
Get used to focusing on one thing and your performance will increase exponentially. During the period of time that you have decided to dedicate yourself to something specific, increase your focus by not allowing distractions neither external such as the phone, emails, visits… nor internal ones such as thoughts, emotions, remembering the shopping list…
Be clear about your goal to increase your performance
There is no possibility of a good personal or professional development if we do not set ourselves a goal. Our goal should be specific and realistic. The more specific your goal is, the more likely you are to achieve it. It is not enough to think I want to be successful, but for example you could say 'I want to have a management position within my sector, with a good salary and within a maximum period of 5 years'.
Motivation is the true motor that moves us, and if we do not know our goal in every area of our life, motivation will not last long. That is what makes us leave things halfway and abandon so many projects. In addition to finding out what your goal is and making it very specific, look for your why and your why.
Organization, focus and being clear about your goal are the three keys to have better performance and better results, both in your personal and professional life. Also remember to live 'here and now', take care of your nervous system to avoid stress, avoid external and internal distractions, and maintain good motivation.
"Success is not achieved only with special qualities. It is above all a work of perseverance, method and organization ”Víctor Hugo.
