Positive Habits Part - 1

Well Well!  

I don't consider myself successful yet, but then I have been reading a lot about the habits that most of the successful people have in common! 

• Waking up early - Almost every other article about success that I stumble upon, this trait is the most common among them! That is - Waking up early! 
  This is because when you wake up early, you have those extra hours in your hands which you can use for your productive work. A person spending 6 hours daily on Competitive Programming is likely to be a better Competitive Programmer than a person who spends just 1 hour or so. 
  Some of you might complain that when I try to wake up early, I will be sleepy for the most part and won't even get any concentration to do my work! How is it even beneficial for me? The matter of fact is you have trained your body for waking until late at night and sleeping till late in the morning like a PIG. 
  Just do an analysis of whether you actually are more productive after 12:00 at night and being awake till 4 in the morning? Or is there some change that you need to be adopting? 
  One another advantage of waking up in the morning is that you don't have your so-called FRIENDS online who would ping you every second for things that don't matter at all. As a result, you can concentrate more in the mornings! 
  Moreover, whenever you see the clock you yourself will realize that by this time I would be sleeping in my bed aaramse, but WOW, today I could accomplish so much more during this time.
  
  
  
  
  
• Doing exercise and burning your calories - Thoda he sahi, but you gotta do some exercise. I have been exercising for reducing my initial stage of belly fat. However, there are other benefits that I am noticing as well. 
  When I exercise, I feel more active for the day and have a sense of pride that I am taking care of my body! Your health is the greatest asset that you have. Not taking it seriously is the biggest mistake that one can be doing! 
  Put some random exercise videos on your phone, tab, or laptop screen! Do those stretching, Inhale exhale, do that pranayam, do whatever it takes to keep your body fit. 
  A healthy body is a place for a healthy mind. 
  Rather than spending countless hours watching what happens when PEPSI and MENTOS are put together in large amounts kind of videos, spend time watching and also following these exercise videos. 
  
  
  
• Replenish Lost Motivations - Nothing stays permanent! So as your motivation that you got yesterday by seeing that wonderful motivational video by Sandeep Maheshwari. 
  You will realize that you go back to the same position as holding your phone and scrolling useless Instagram or Facebook posts for hours. 
  We actually need to replenish this lost motivation. Therefore try to set up a reminder with a YouTube link in the Microsoft TO-DO application that I had mentioned in one of the posts before, something like - "At 8:00 AM in the morning, remind me to watch this motivational video" (with a youtube video link if possible)  
  List down the set of things that you want to achieve but you have been postponing for long due to your so-called LAZINESS and jot them down in a paper and put them in front of you where it's visible to you all the time! Who knows seeing that paper might make you feel guilty for not working towards your dreams! 
  
  
  
  
• Think, Plan and Execute - Someone great said that - "If I was given 1 hour to solve a problem, I would spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and the rest 5 minutes for solving the problem!" 
  Therefore to achieve something great, you have to plan the roadmap first. What is the LONG TERM Goal? Where you want to see yourself 5 years down the lane? What is the immediate step that you can be taking towards achieving that goal? Set up a plan for the same! Try to adhere to the plan (You might not be able to deliver your 100%, but that's totally okay). Try to be a better version of yourself than before. 
  Example - I want to get into SAP Labs in my campus placements in 4th year. I am in 2nd year now. What do I need to do? 
  - Learn about SAP Labs what they do? What is their interview procedure? How a typical interview process happens for a product based company? What is your aggregate - do you need to focus more on academics so that you can at least sit for the company or you have enough aggregate that you can risk studying less for the academics and focusing totally on placements related subjects and honing your coding skill. 
  - Jot down the resources and make a well-defined plan for as and when you be finishing every topic. 
  All these kind of things comes into the planning! 
  The plan may vary from person to person, so you gotta decide what best suits you!
