HOW TO ACHIEVE OVERNIGHT SUCCESS

300 Words | 1 Min 5 Sec Read

Most of the time, our constant quest for overnight success is a trap.

We get so obsessed with the goal that we forget that the system is what matters. We get so obsessed with the outcome that we overlook the repetitions we need to do to get there. We become so focused on the short-term results that we forget to build the long-term habits that make the real difference.

However, there are a few strategies that will actually accelerate the results you enjoy without ignoring the importance of building better habits.

1. Simplicity.

The best productivity strategy is to eliminate the things that derail your productivity. If you live a life with fewer distractions, it becomes much easier to take effective action. This is similar to the 80/20 rule, the majority of the time only 20% of things actually move the needle forward and the other 80% is just noise. The question you have to ask yourself is ‘what is the 20% that moves the needle forward?’

2. Environment.

Your environment is one of the greatest success “hacks” there is. If you live in an environment that nudges you toward the right decision and if you surround yourself with people who make your new behaviour seem normal, then you’ll find success is almost an afterthought. Whereas this can also work against you if your environment is full of people that don’t share the same mission, they will ultimately hold you back.

Your environment can be much more simple than you think and you’ll find hundreds of cues a day that will impact your behaviour in small ways, such as:

• Are there snacks on the counter? Then you’re likely to eat them.

• Do you have the comfiest sofa you could find facing the tv? Then you’re likely to sit down and watch it.

ACTIONABLE NEXT STEPS:

To take advantage of simplicity Don’t just identify the 20% of strategies that are most effective, eliminate the 80% of strategies that are wasteful. When distractions are taken away from you, it becomes much easier to stay focused.

To take advantage of your environment know that Every environment promotes some behaviors and prevents others. The key is to be in an environment that supports the results you want to achieve.

TAKEAWAYS:

Overnight success is most definitely a myth however there are a few strategies that make it feasible:

1. Simplify and eliminate distractions.

2. Surround yourself with an environment that promotes your new behaviour.
