HOW I STAY CONSISTENT ON STEEMIT @samsteem1000

Hello my fellow Steem-African family. My name is Ibeh Samuel, from Nigeria and I'm making this post as my entry for the contest on How I stay consistent on Steemit by @farhmade

Key to success
Anyone that says the way to success is easy is probably a huge liar. Nothing good comes easy. Succcess is never magically handed to anyone. There's usually a very long and dark journey to achieving it. You may wonder why some big athletes like Mc Gregor, Anthony Joshua, Cristiano Ronaldo, Usian Bolt and the likes earn so much from just one match, fight or race? Well their sweat, blood and consistent effort took them thus far and finally paying off.
One of my favorite authors, John Calvin Maxwell in one of his books said...

Small disciplines repeated with consistency everyday leads to great achievements gained slowly over time

And no doubt he is right. Tiny droplets make up the mighty ocean. It doesn't just appear overnight.
There's so much Motivation can do but in the end Persistence gets you there and Disciplined consistent effort keeps you there.

MY STEEMENCY

I just shipped Steemit and Consistency.😅😅What exactly does consistency mean to me? It is that dedication to something in this context performing tasks on steemit. When I first joined the platform, no doubt I was overwhelmed with lots of information to process. Being a student preparing for a major exam in coming months I surely had to find a way or two to juggle my academics and steemit comfortably.

• Writing down my daily activities on steemit platform

For every task or post I make everyday I take actual notes of everything. There's a study that shows you tend to actualize goals you've written down unlike those you just have mental notes of. So I try as much as possible to make those notes and follow them to the letter. It has helped me tremendously because that note is always open on my reading table and I see it everytime I pass by it.

• Use colorful sticky notes.
  On my mirror, and wall I have reminders pasted on them activities which I must perform. They are my routines. It helps me know what i have for that day of the week and also remind me to perform some specific tasks on steemit

It's easy to keep to because I look at the mirror everytime I pass by it.

• I added the steemit site to my homescreen as an icon

these icons are how I make working on steemit accessible. SteemWorld is used to track my progress as its interface easily shows all activities on your account in steemit simply by typing [email protected] you can easily check your activities. The best part is that you can navigate through it with no help. Life is easy with technology truth be told.

• Set reminders or make schedule

Nothing beats or is more accurate than an alarm set for a particular time. Sometimes I may get carried away doing one or two things but my phone's alarm always reminds me without failing. Being a nocturnal person. I love working at night while everyone is asleep. The silence in the air keeps me inspired. Let's just say my brain enjoys the serene atmosphere.

• Get and follow updates from my social media groups on WhatsApp, discord and telegram
  I have several WhatsApp groups which some of my colleagues and friends on the platform made up. We keep ourselves in check and help eachother when needed

[I pinned them so that I don't have to look for them]
We also motivate ourselves by posting our progress and rewards.

I also follow updates on discord and telegram.
