  formations time the man of talent is driven by it although from time to time we all get ourselves involved in activities that do not contribute to our greatest success or happiness people who end up successful don't over indulge in these activities so in this video i'll share with you seven things successful people never waste their time doing if you're new here consider subscribing so that you don't miss out on exciting videos like this one successful people don't commence their day without a plan every successful person has a laser focused goal and plans to achieve their goals so to start with they begin their day with the end in mind they know what they ought to accomplish by the end of the day they know what to focus their entire day doing victor hugo a french poet and novelist said he who every morning plans the transactions of that day and follows that plan carries a thread that will guide him through the labyrinth of the busiest life successful people write down their goals for the day identify the most important tasks of the day and ensure that they complete the tasks before the day runs out creating a plan like this helps them realize how much work they have to do within a limited time and successful people know better than to spend their days participating in pointless activities that can only serve as distractions two successful people don't waste their time flipping through social media pages social media has been one of the most helpful tools in connecting and engaging with friends and loved ones including customers and potential customers for business owners however it can serve as a major distraction if it isn't curtailed in a generation like this it is almost a sin not to be on any social media platform i mean checking notifications on facebook scrolling through pictures on instagram reading quick updates on twitter etc a few things that we take out time to do every day while this isn't a terrible thing if you don't learn how to control how much time you spend on it the day will go by without accomplishing anything on your to-do list social media can be addictive to prevent social media addiction you can either put a time limit on it or close those apps every time you have to work three successful people don't hang around negative people you can't be around toxic people most of the time and think that your life will be productive no you'll spend most of your time dealing with people's negativity or talking about how hard and cruel life can be how you happen to be a victim of circumstances etc instead of spending your time working on things that can improve quality of your life you engage in pointless activity for instance worrying about how terrible your country's economy is or how badly politicians are treating the masses how a specific soccer player is the best at many more things that have no direct impact on your life or successful people don't worry themselves with things that they cannot control worrying gets you nowhere in life especially in a situation where you can't do nothing about it but talk so instead of spending so much time worrying about the things that you cannot change how about focusing on those that you can improve to make the world a better place five successful people don't focus on what other people are saying feedback from others is good so is watching and learning from specific people however if listening to others opinion or watching other people's lifestyle makes you feel bad about yourself then maybe you need to learn how to stay focused if people's opinion about you have a way of messing with yourself confidence and esteem you need to learn to ignore you see successful people don't waste their caring so much about what other people have to say about them to be successful you have to be bold and courageous enough to pursue your aspiration now not so many people will understand your dreams so caring too much about their opinions can make the entire process of pursuing your goals hard to do if you worry about what other people think of you always while some of these opinions might be helpful others couldn't care less they want to drag you down perhaps to their level six successful people don't spend their time gossiping another time wasting activities idle chat gossip it might seem like fun when you're doing it but to what end is just a pointless activity what other people set out to do is none of your business your business lies in succeeding in whatever field you have chosen for yourself so why not focus on that again successful people concern themselves with accomplishing their goals because they know that they are responsible for their lives and their focus is entirely on themselves not on other people's lives or choice of actions seven successful people don't focus on their past mistakes we all make mistakes even successful guys however unlike the rest of the world successful people pick out a lesson or truth from their mistakes and learn more about it they make sure that they figure out what would have been the likely cause and how they can avoid it next time one thing they don't do is to sit and wallow in self pity or regret no it won't change anything so why bother although it is easy to let ourselves be held back by some of the mistakes we've made and the fear of repeating them being successful however means moving forward adapting and improving here is a piece of advice it will help to be intentional about your life do things consciously to avoid wasting your time on things that don't count thank you very much for watching our
