What big change or large project do you want to accomplish?

If there’s something you really want to do, then put it on your calendar or schedule. And then, here’s the most important part, make that time slot on your schedule as non-negotiable as possible.

Why non-negotiable? Because unless you’re like the small percentage of people that have unbreakable discipline, you will begin to look for excuses or reasons for why you shouldn’t stick to your commitment.

You see, there will be days when you will not want to stick to your commitment to change or work on your project, especially during the challenging times. And yes, every major change or big project will have challenging times, but when it’s on your schedule and you think of it as non-negotiable as you would an appointment with another person, then you’ll work on it even if you do so begrudgingly. However, it’s working on commitments even when you don’t want to that forges your discipline.

Before I go on, let me clarify that I’m not suggesting you force yourself to stick with changes or projects that you no longer want to accomplish. This idea of scheduling is a tool to get you to accomplish the things you want to do.

So, learn to use your calendar as a secret weapon to work your way to your goals. Stick to the appointments you make with yourself and experience how your schedule transforms your life.
