I would be sharing six(6) short tips on how to be persistent in alignment with your goals and aim as a developer!
Let's get started🚀 ⠀
- Identify Your Goal⠀
Write down what you want to accomplish. Have a short term and also have a long term goal pointing at same aim. ⠀
- Determine your motivation
If you know why you’re doing what you’re doing it gives you more energy to keep on going. Do not make anyone or anything your motivation because the day it goes, that's the day you are down. Be your motivation, let it be from within! ⠀
- Define an action plan
How will you achieve the first point? When you know how to get what you want, it makes it easier to achieve it. Be specific on each step you need to take. Identify at least 2 ways and plans on how you can achieve your goals.⠀ ⠀
- Work on your mind game
Things will be challenging. Remember to have a POSITIVE mindset. As I have written before It is absolutely crucial to work on rewiring your brain to think positive thought about your life, goals and plan.⠀ ⠀
- Choose your mentor and friends wisely ⠀
Find friends that will help you succeed towards your goal. You need driven and positive people that will be happy for your successes and help you plan out your steps moving forward. No time for cynical advices and pessimist people. ⠀ ⠀
- Force discipline
Some might think that people are just born with discipline. And maybe that is true? But it does not mean that it’s learnable!! Use the Pomodoro technique and force yourself to start crossing of to-do’s of your action plan.
