How to become highly Industrious

Industry (essential self-discipline tool)

Being industrious means keeping to what you have scheduled to work on especially the simile unimportant ones. It is putting the goals into action and it is needed for continuous growth in your area of work.

It takes discipline to keep an industrious life and part of this is required for a great accomplishment.

Today’s work place demands industrious men and women. Having a great attitude toward industry gives you better fit for fulfillment.

Therefore industry is working hard. In contrast to hard work, being industrious doesn’t necessarily mean doing work that’s challenging or difficult. It simply means putting in the time. You can be industrious doing easy work or hard work.

Imagine you are a writer. You’ll spend a lot of time reading and writing. But that isn’t really hard work — it’s just a matter of doing it over and over many times each day.

In general, there are many tasks that aren’t necessarily difficult, but they collectively require a significant time investment. If you don’t discipline yourself to stay on top of them, they can make a big mess of your life. Just think of all the little things you need to do: shopping, cooking, cleaning, laundry, taxes, paying bills, home maintenance, childcare, etc. And this is just for home — if you include work the list grows even longer. These things may not reach your A-list for importance, but they still need to be done.

Self-discipline requires that you develop the capacity to put in the time where it’s needed. A lot of messes are created when we refuse to put in the time to do what needs to be done — and to do it correctly

Sometimes it’s clear what needs to be done. Sometimes it isn’t clear at all. But ignoring the mess won’t help no matter what. If you don’t know what needs to be done, the first step is to figure it out. This may require you to seek out information and educate yourself. It took me a great discipline before I could put up this blog, for it lingered for months but at last I am happy that it is now out of the shelf.

 How many problems do you have on your to do list right now that can be solved with the simple application of industry? Sometimes you don’t need to be particularly creative or clever about it — a brute force solution will do. But it’s easy to get stuck in a pattern of wishing that a brute force solution wasn’t necessary. It’s tedious. It’s boring. It’s not that important anyway. And yet it still needs to be done.

By all means if you can find a way to avoid a time-consuming solution and find a faster or better way to bypass or eliminate the problem, take advantage of it. Delegate it, delete it — do whatever you can to remove the time burden. But if you know it’s something that won’t get done except via your personal time investment, like the ornery boxes in my home that refused to self-unpack, then just accept it and get it off your plate. Don’t complain. Don’t whine. Just do it.

In conclusion, I advise that you design your own work format that will work for you. Since we all have different approach towards various areas of life.
