In those cases, it&#8217;s better to get prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-d3124e08-7a35-4bbc-a341-46fbc7fbf006\">In life, as in nature, everything happens in cycles. Previously I introduced you to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.1st-things-1st.com\/2020\/05\/06\/the-cycle-of-long-term-success\/\">the cycle of long-term success<\/a>&nbsp;as I saw it at that moment. Today, I have refined the mentioned cycle, and now it consists of these 5 steps: research, prioritize, plan, act, reflect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\" id=\"block-b009040a-e24a-4978-a49f-edade9a466d2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/aidas.bendoraitis.lt\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/long-term-success-cycle.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aidas.bendoraitis.lt\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/long-term-success-cycle.png 1000w, https:\/\/aidas.bendoraitis.lt\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/long-term-success-cycle-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/aidas.bendoraitis.lt\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/long-term-success-cycle-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/aidas.bendoraitis.lt\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/long-term-success-cycle-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-df39deca-f9d9-477f-983c-318876a949f4\">1. Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose.<br>\u2013 Zora Neale Hurston<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-2bf41666-b04d-4e7b-acff-7753090fd4e7\">First of all, before taking a measured action, you would need to find out what your choices are today. You can use a search engine, Wikipedia, references, podcasts, magazines, books, or anything else that provides you with information that you could utilize in your field of focus. Gather information with the intent to incorporate it into your activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-8d8a5245-fae1-4105-a00a-8212af31917b\">2. Prioritize<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cIf everything is important, then nothing is.\u201d<br>\u2013 Patrick M. Lencioni<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-6baddd5b-9eae-487e-864f-d3d4c4fd20a1\">There are several ways to set priorities for your activities. You can use the flexible and mighty&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.1st-things-1st.com\/\">prioritizer &#8220;1st things 1st&#8221;<\/a>, decision matrices in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/easierfocus.io\/\">Excel sheets<\/a>, Eisenhower Matrix on a piece of paper, or maybe just selecting the first several priorities intuitively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-2ef45dbe-a4f8-4884-a3a2-b29901810db8\">3. Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>If you don&#8217;t design your own life plan, chances are you&#8217;ll fall into someone else&#8217;s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.<br>\u2013 Jim Rohn<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-51e411a1-430f-407e-905b-66abb75f4af7\">Put your most important activities on the schedule. You can use Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, monday.com, any other scheduling app, or even an analog calendar on your wall or in your Moleskine. Try not to have more than 3 activities in a day. Book yourself or your colleagues for the vital work to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-fb1bf1a2-de18-40fe-b3f6-3fe1c56cb525\">4. Act<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.<br>\u2013 William James<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-be9b18fc-9390-4301-9899-d5a9e617e187\">Now it&#8217;s time to do what you have planned. Have a necessary meeting or a zoom call, speak, write, or perform what&#8217;s on your list today this hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-17447bf4-ec69-4500-9bbc-ffa78924a257\">5. Reflect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>It is only by reflecting on the past that one can create a better future.<br>\u2013 Rithy Panh<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-111caa53-8163-4787-b095-f86828ce93bf\">If you got positive results, celebrate the wins. If you failed, see what you can learn from your mistakes. The next time will be better. Now go back to the first step and do the new research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-ca6efca3-9223-4fef-bd88-74d2750111af\">Final words<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-7394a73c-586c-46fc-8745-096dfae9a708\">If you master the cycle of long-term success, you form a habit of success. Whether you win or lose, you gain experience and become excellent at what you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" id=\"block-40af2380-3028-40cc-bdef-1e39165e58eb\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-f740af40-2b62-4fd7-bff3-8a6be02ecf8e\">Cover photo by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/bH7kZ0yazB0\">Ian Stauffer<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes.<\/span><\/span>This post first appeared on the&nbsp;1st things 1st blog.
