If you want to operate at peak performance levels to achieve more in life, then it is important to develop critical self-management skills.
Whether you want to excel in business or your personal life, your success depends upon your ability to manage your own performance.
These 6 skills can be the most important for your peak performance:
#1 Hold yourself accountable
One of the most important self-management skills for peak performance is the ability and willingness to hold yourself accountable. If you say that you are going to do something, then make sure you do it.
If you fail to act or the performance is not sufficient, then be honest with yourself and determine what changes or adjustments are needed to do better next time.
#2 Set Clear Goal
Setting S.M.A.R.T Goals can be your best move for better performance:
Specific - Be specific with what you want and state your goal in simple terms.
Measurable - Use numbers to help measure your results. This way you will know if you are on track to attaining your goal.
Achievable - make sure it is something that you have the ability to achieve. Assess personal strengths, skills, tools, and resources.
Realistic- Determine whether the goal itself is realistic and can be achieved within the predetermined time frame.
Time-based- Put a deadline on the goal. This creates a sense of urgency and can be a motivator to get things done.
#3 Develop your time management
We live in a world full of distractions. An important self-management skill you should develop is time management. Utilize the calendar on your smart device to schedule important events. There is also a wide range of apps to set reminders, track to-do lists and tasks, and keep yourself organized.
#4 Learn to be Self-Motivated
If you find yourself losing motivation, then ask yourself these questions.
Why is achieving this goal important to me?
By achieving this, what will it do for me?
By achieving this, what will it get me or allow me to do?
Focus on your goal and continue to drive forward. You might not be successful on the first attempt, and that is okay.
Sir Winston Churchill said, “Success is the ability to go from one failure to the next with no loss of enthusiasm.”
#5 Adapt to change
Develop flexibility by reframing the situation. In other words, learn to view the situation from a different perspective. Change is a natural part of life, and we must be able and willing to adjust course when necessary.
