The word "honor" is still not just a word for many, it is a position in life. And one of the most important skills that helps to honor — the fulfillment of promises. But even people of honor sometimes forget to fulfill the promises they made to themselves.
As a person striving to improve your productivity, you do a lot by planning tasks and completing them on time, but there are also those tasks that constantly creep down in the priority list, simply because they are not promised to anyone but you. And it destroys your trust in yourself. So how do you become a man of your word in front of your own face?
Let's make realistic promises
Break the task into smaller ones. Yes, yes, we will repeat this advice again and again. It works: it's much better to promise a little and fulfill, rather than promise to move the mountain after you somehow improve yourself in a few months. Start small.
Don't make idle promises
Even if you add small steps to your list for execution, but for some reason you will not be able to do them, and you know this in advance, just do not promise to do it at this time. Everything planned must be done, restore faith in yourself. Don't promise yourself something just for the sake of reassurance.
Every promise is a contract
Why do you consider a promise given to your customer as a contract, but not given to yourself? There is no fundamental difference in them, because if you are going to do something, then you need it. Consider every promise a contract. If simple renaming does not work, assign penalties for each day of delay.
