1. Mortality Motivation
You only have a finite number of years on earth. Choose the pain of discipline over the pain of regret. Pray to God to guide your way, say Bismillah and get startedβ¦

2. Foundational Habits:
X hours sleep, morning dhikr, daily Qurβan, foods high in protein & healthy fats, regular resistance exercise, make you way more productive & focused. Identify your foundational habits & schedule them in as a must. Create processes that boost productivity

3. Saying βNoβ
Every time you say βyesβ to something, youβre saying βnoβ to something else. Know when to say βnoβ, to be able to achieve your goals. Know when to build relaxation time in too.

4. Deadlines
If itβs not in your calendar it ainβt happening. Put a hard deadline in your diary, make someone give you a deadline and schedule actions backwards to meet that deadline.

5. Identify the 5 big milestones
When itβs overwhelming, write down the 5 big steps youβd need to reach to achieve it. Then break those big 5 down too. Celebrate each time you hit one of the big 5

6. Break the boulder down into pebbles
Rather than staring at the mountain ahead, beat procrastination by listing the individual actions youβll need to take to achieve a task, then just make yourself knock βem off one by one.

7. Barakah
Take time out to do things that add blessing to your time. Give Sadaqah, answer your mumβs phone calls, run errands for your dad, host guests generously, give your time and attention to others. These counterintuitively bless your productivity

8. On bad days

9. Anticipate setbacks
Itβs meant to be hard. Expect that, and see the struggle and part of the process of developing and strengthening you. No setback is insurmountable. Youβll figure it out if you put your mind to it.

10. Consistency
Get back up. Get back on it. Create a new plan and keep moving forward.
