Habit #1: Enter into a flow state. Be involved, be engaged, lose sense of time because of interest in what you are doing at the moment.  “A state of concentration or complete absorbtion with the activity at hand and the situation. It is a state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter” (M. Csikszentmihalyi, 1997). * find a quiet study place * remove all distractions * clean the study desk

Habit #2: Have a productive daily routine. Established routine reduces the need to make decisiond throughout the day and enables you to know what to do next. Make up an approximate schedule which fits your weekdays best.

Habit #3: Learn from others. You are the average of the five people you spend your most time with. Show me your friends, and I`ll show you your future. If you do not have an inspiring person around you, use the technology to search for successful people. 

Habit #4: Practice gratitude constantly on a daily basis. Think of all the incredible things happening around you in this life. It is crucial to place the accent on positive things, not on negative ones. 

Habit #5: Be willing to pay the price. Sacrifice what needs to be sacrifice in order to achieve your goal. You have to reject or reduce something what keeps you away from the goal. 

Habit #6: Adopt a growth mindset. Never stop learning and trying to become better every day. Make small incremental improvements day by day. The snowball into huge results. The more knowledgeable you become - the more decisions you can make and the more successful you can be. Be brutally honest with yourself and ask yourself what you could have done better, what could you improve for the next time. 

Habit #7: Know what you want.  Info adapted from ProjectElon YouTube channel. 

Current situation looks like this. Earning money turned out to be the most developed area of life, which means I am fully satisfies with the monthly sum which greatly contributes to the whole family budget. Where I feel I slip are spiritiality (being grateful to the Lord, praying, fasting, donating money to the poor, reading the Saint Scripture - behaving a Christian in general) and career (work and study altogether), although most of the time in my current life I spend on these two spheres (God bless my husband who bears it all with no complains and does not mind me studying and working instead of making me do the family chores and duties all the time, besides getting little attention and emotional support from me - the reason of giving an “8″ to the “love” area).
