It is often when we refer to creativity and art as a free discipline. A halo of inspiration comes at any time of the day and puts you to work. Hours don't count on our calendar thus we show ourselves more natural when working our work. A square job such as that of an administrative one is not shown. And since we are not administrative, we do not have a schedule or guidelines. This lack of discipline also stifles our imagination.
Why do we need discipline being creative? The lack of schedules can make us work more than necessary, and although sometimes it seems that this is an advantage when we are immersed in a project, sometimes it is not. Many times it is not. These excesses can make you lose your ability to concentrate on the activity you are doing. Also, lose your interest by certainly not seeing progress. That moment when we do not know how to continue is better to leave.
Sometimes it makes you end up leaving it, reaching the moment of "I start tomorrow" and enter into a constant refusal of excesses unacceptable for our head. Instagram, Facebook, etc. become our allies to fill those spaces. That is why discipline is essential for creatives too.
Some people who manage to have the discipline they need for their day to day blame it on the "old trick" of 8 o'clock. The 8 hours consist of dividing your day into three parts: Sleep, Work and use your free time. While it is true that reaching such a discipline is complex and not everyone succeeds in overnight make this composition without a lot of previous effort and dedication time. But if there are certain steps we can take before reaching the culmen of our purpose.
Teeth
Damn task of brushing our teeth after every meal. On certain occasions, many people leave this activity behind because they look at their mobile and have seen something that is interesting for that person. We forget or at other times we find ourselves outside and we cannot do it. That is the idea of each of the following 'tasks'. That what interrupts our time is what takes priority.
A simple task like brushing your teeth right after eating will form a habit in your day. And it will start by creating an order. Remember, don't skip it.
This exercise can also be designed for washing dishes. If you are in the habit of brushing your teeth, you can try washing the dishes right after you finish eating. It doesn't matter if you have a dishwasher or someone already does those tasks. When you finish eating, your plate, your glass and your cutlery, wash them by hand yourself.
Bed
For me, one of the most difficult tasks in my routine. Getting out of bed with the job it already is and having to do it. And in principle with the purpose of undoing it after a few hours that same day. But it is necessary. This habit will give you order at the beginning of your day. You have completed the first mission of the day, so facing the others will be so simple how to make the bed.
Also, when you return home, the order will help you relax and enjoy the rest of the day with less to do.
The shower and its temperature
We all feel the need to shower with a good water temperature. Fighting with our own excuses is the most complex task we face. Using the last seconds of our shower to deal with that discomfort will help us achieve more discipline.
There are many more disciplines that we can follow on our way to achieving our goals. It will also depend on your life, I have proposed to discipline myself in my work with articles, if you write, it is a good idea to do so. There are more sophisticated and common, but the important thing is to start. If you think you are not able to follow these 3 steps simultaneously, start with one. But make it the most uncomfortable for you.
