What is the super simple habit that leads to success? A solution for "I can't stick with anything"

This time, I will be presenting on the theme of "habits for success without giving up halfway."

"I'm going to lose 10kg!"
"I'm going to learn to speak English."
"I'm going to earn 100,000 yen a month."

Diets, English conversation, side hustles... that you started after setting such goals.

Three months later,
the feelings you had back then have completely faded,
"It was impossible for me,"
"In the end, I couldn't keep it up,"
"I'll look for another way,"
and you end up giving up.

I think everyone has had the experience of challenging themselves to something,
but in the end, not being able to continue and giving up.

To lead things to success, consistency is important.

Everyone knows this,
but that consistency is what's difficult, isn't it?

I tend to give up quite easily, so
I understand this feeling extremely well.

I have been learning business for about half a year now,
but I am approaching it with a strong determination,
"I don't want to give up halfway anymore,"
"This time, I will make it a success!"

There is a motivation management method that I have adopted,
and it is going quite well.

Huh? That's it?

You might think that,
but I will introduce a method that is super simple but extremely effective, so

"I don't want to end up as a quitter,"
"I don't want to give up halfway,"
"I definitely want to grasp success"

If you are someone like that,
please read until the end.


I almost forget by the next day

The other day, my daughter brought home her report card.

There is a "parent/guardian comment section" on the report card,
and I have to fill in a comment here
and return it after the long weekend.

"It's a three-day weekend, so I'll write it later at my leisure."

I thought that, so I left it alone.

Then, I completely forgot about it,
and on the morning after the long weekend, my daughter reminded me,
and in the end, I had to fill it out in a huge panic orz

I think everyone has had an experience like this.

Regardless of age or a forgetful personality,
it doesn't matter;
humans are creatures that forget.

You start forgetting the very moment you learn something.

That is just how the brain is built.

There is a very famous experiment called
the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve that
exists.

The Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve

When people input information,
they start forgetting it immediately,
and after just 20 minutes, they have forgotten about 40%.

By the next day, they have forgotten about 70%,
and after a month, they have forgotten 80%.

So, they basically don't remember anything at all (laughs).

So, how can you avoid forgetting?

It's simple. You just need to review.

By repeating and reviewing,
you become less likely to forget.

"Fill out the parent's section of the report card"

If you had repeated that to yourself about once every 20 minutes,
I'm sure you wouldn't have forgotten it (laughs).


When you forget your goals, your motivation drops and your ability to take action decreases.

So,
humans are forgetful creatures,
and even for something as important as a "goal,"
the brain will mercilessly forget it.

Everyone has a "goal"
when they start something, right?

"I'm going to study hard and pass my target school."
"I'm going to go on a diet and wear the clothes that don't fit anymore."
"I'm going to practice every day and learn to play a hit song."

I don't think there are many people
who start something
without having any goals at all.

Because you know your goal and are working toward it,
your motivation increases,
and it becomes the source of your actions.
That is how it works.

And when you lose sight of your goal,
or when your goal becomes vague,
you lose sight of why you are doing it,
your motivation drops,
and your ability to take action decreases.

In order to continue doing things and lead them to success,
not forgetting your goal
is extremely important.

But, you will forget.

Because humans are creatures that forget.

Even if you think,
"I will never forget my goal!" you will forget.

The human brain is built that way.
Willpower cannot cover for it.

No matter how strong your thoughts or strong your will
may be,
you will eventually forget.

Even if you don't forget completely,
it will definitely fade over time.

You cannot maintain the same level of intensity.

A strong will, over time,
becomes an average will, and eventually
becomes a weak will.

It's like a fire that is blazing at first,
but gradually runs out of fuel,
and the heat starts to weaken.

When that happens, your motivation and ability to act
are pulled along and weaken as well.


Put your goal where you can see it every day

So, how can you keep from forgetting your goal
and keep your will from weakening?

It's simple.

In short, if you review it,
you won't forget and it will stick,
so you just need to review it.

To be specific,

post your goal in a place
where you can see it every day

With this, you won't forget.

In exam-related dramas, there are often scenes where
people have notes posted around their desks
saying things like "I will definitely pass!"
right?

That is actually effective.

By seeing it every day,
you will never forget your goal.

It doesn't have to be a sticky note, either.

  • Keep it as a sticky note on your PC desktop

  • Set it as your smartphone wallpaper

  • Write it on the calendar page of your planner

Anything is fine.

You might think,

Is that it?
but it is surprisingly effective.

The human brain,
when you input a goal every day,
starts to take actions toward it.

(*I wrote about the brain's functions that you absolutely cannot fight against in this article)

So, if you thought,
"Is that it?"
I highly recommend you give it a try.

It's just that... but,
surprisingly, not many people do it
.

That's why only those who do it
will understand the effect, right? f^^


3 steps to skyrocket your results

When you see your goal every day,
the goal is installed in your brain,
and you start to feel strongly,
"I absolutely want to achieve this!"

That feeling leads to
motivation and the ability to take action,
creating great momentum.

See your goals every day
Even just doing this,
since almost no one does it,
it is enough, so to speak, but
there is a way to make it even more effective.

That is these three things

  • Make your goals assertive, positive statements

  • Read them aloud to install them in your brain

  • Write them down to engrave them into your body


Make your goals assertive, positive statements

First, make them "positive statements."

For example, if you are going on a diet,

instead of negative sentences like
"Stop snacking" or "Don't rebound,"

make them positive statements,

such as "Lose 10kg" or "Wear size X clothes."

You make them positive statements.

If your goal is set as "Stop snacking,"
your brain will imagine the image of "snacking."

It is the same with "Don't rebound;"
you will imagine the image of "having rebounded."

To head straight toward your goal,
it is important to use "positive statements"
so that you don't let your brain imagine
the "state of not being able to do it."

Also, it is important to make them "assertive sentences."

Instead of "I want to lose 10kg,"
you make it "I will lose 10kg."

With the former,
it ends with "Oh, you want to lose weight. Hmm."

With the latter,
it becomes "Alright, I'm going to take action to lose weight!"


Read it aloud to install it in your brain

Once you set a goal like "lose 10kg,"
read it aloud once every day.

Even if it's your own voice,
you should recognize it as something said by someone else.

You know how a child asked to go shopping
might go to the store
while repeating "100g of pork, 100g of pork..."?
That's a thing, right?

This is actually effective.

Instead of just thinking
(100g of pork, 100g of pork...) in your head,
you should say it out loud properly.

When you do this,
not only are you outputting it voluntarily,
but you are also inputting it through your ears
at the same time,
so it gets installed in your brain more reliably.


Write it down to engrave it in your body

Even up to this point, you can engrave it into your brain quite powerfully,
but to increase the effect even more,
you should "write it down."

Write your goal on a piece of paper every day.

See the goal with your eyes,
say it with your mouth,
hear it with your ears,
and write it with your hand.

In short, by recognizing it using your five senses,
you can input the goal into your brain
more firmly.

By the way, in my case,
writing it every day is a hassle,
so about once a week,
I make it a point to write down
"my goals and what I should do now" on paper.

By doing that,
not only do you reconfirm your goals,
but your short-term tasks also become clear,
so your motivation and drive will overflow ^^

・Post your goals where you can see them
・Read your goals aloud once a day
・Write down your goals and actions once a week

I recommend this ^^
