everyone is locked in right now new year, new me, new energy but after the motivation fades, reality kicks in so you’re locked in...now what? this is where most people lose it not because they’re lazy but because no one teaches you what to actually do with your day this is not about grinding 24/7 or turning into a robot just small habits that help you stop wasting time and start seeing progress Start your day offline most of people are fond of picking their phone up first to doomscroll ct, check discord or telegram for what happened while they’re sleeping don’t let that be your first action when you wake up in the morning if you’re a man/woman of faith, make a small prayer and allow your brain 20- 30 mins quiet time before you let the world inside that quiet time is where you gain clarity for the day but if you wake up and its social media content, you’ll mostly react to what you see and not use it to build yourself Decide on one thing that actually matters for each day you don’t need to do 10 things per day to call it a productive day you only need to prioritize one thing and do it to the T 👌🏾 you maximize your time each day when you write down a goal you’re trying to achieve and work only on just that Do the hard thing first our brain is wired in a way to always avoid the hard stuff and go for the easier ones that task you’re avoiding is the right one you need to do first once you do it, you’ll feel a huge burden has been taken out of your shoulders if you push it to later, it follows you all day like a crying child Limit Your Inputs you do not need to know everything happening on ct today. check ct less if you don’t have any business on here unless you’re a creator that need to be in the algorithm doomscrolling all day without any meaningful interaction is just time wasting me lock in is about focus, not awareness Produce Something Every Day i have made it a habit that i must make one meaningful post per day. it is not much but it’s honest work make it a habit that something must leave you daily be it a post, a line of code, a design, a document, or anything if nothing comes out of you, nothing compounds consumption is neutral, production moves the needle Live a good lilfestyle Living a good lifestyle is very underrated in a space that prioritized grinding 24/7 It’s not healthy sitting at your desk all day and bending your back like a 96 years old grandpa 👴 take a walk, stretch a bit, or go to the gym and lift weights your mind works better when your body is in good shape and not tired Review each day at night before you sleep ask this three simple questions: what did i do well? what did i waste time on? what should i do better tomorrow? this is not self hate or anything. just getting feedback. same way you’re assessed back in college, you need to do this daily to ensure you’re on the track SLEEEPPPPP you’re not Optimus prime, your body gets tired and weak when you don’t rest rest is also part of the system you cannot lock in on 4-5 hours of sleep per day, you’re killin yourself lowkey go to bed on time and wake up early to start your day. TL;dr lock in is not about doing everything it’s about doing the right things every day use your 24 hours well do the boring bits stay consistent that’s how real momentum is built if you stick with it long enough, people will call you lucky.
