These hacks will give you a steady foundation to build off of, or a way to adapt your current habits to make yourself more efficient. These steps aren't shortcuts or anything like that, as self-improvement is meant to stop yourself from cutting corners; rather these are simple ways to improve either starting or pursuing your development.

Practicing these few things will make the path you've set upon more organized and less chaotic. No adventure can succeed without a start point or ways to make the voyage smoother, so allow these seven suggestions to be your new tools.

7: Find "grind spaces"

Everyone pursuing self-improvement needs a specialized environment to just totally concentrate and get work done. Grind spaces can be various locations, for instance if you need to study your grind space could be the library, which is very different than your grind space for exercise, which could be a gym or track. Your grind spaces could even change on a daily basis, as one day of the week the park is your grind space for meditating while the next day it could be your backyard.

Think about the many aspects of self-improvement, exercising, being healthy, mindfulness, productivity or social improvement to name a few and find a grind space for each one you're working on. These must be spots where you can just totally dedicate your time and effort to improving yourself there, not like a movie theater or a friends house.

While you're in your grind space, try to limit distractions and anything that could interrupt your concentration while grinding. If possible, for any self-improvement aspect except social development or exercising try to pick quiet areas where you can focus better in.

6: Get a job

Particularly for younger self-improvement pursuers, if you're anywhere from 14-16 years old definitely try and look for part-time, minimum wage jobs in your area. Teens doing self-improvement in the middle of their teenage years need to have these types of jobs to allow them to learn how to make some money before trying to start their own businesses if they choose to do so.

Entrepreneurs need money to start their careers in the first place, and generating a couple thousand dollars from teenage part-time jobs will really help out with this. If you're on the younger end of the group suggested to do this, around 14-15 years old you'll gain some respect by your friends and peers for getting a job young and making your own money. By around 16 years old however, most people have already started working. Another bonus is that you'll learn how to spend your money, as you have to decide what part of the paycheck goes into savings and what is free money to spend.

Once you've reach 17-18 years old however you must start seriously considering if you want to keep making minimum wage or start looking into other ways to make money, such as building passive income businesses. The money you made while working as a teenager, given you haven't spent it all will really help out with setting up a business of your own.

5: Make a daily routine

One of the simplest ways to make self-improvement easy to follow a daily routine. Try to wake up and go to sleep at the same time every night, and yes even on weekends. Set aside specific parts of the day to do various tasks and through repetition they'll just become habitual.

If you're a student, play around with different routines and schedules to divide your time more evenly with studying and school. It is essential to balance your time doing leisure and work as well, unless you're on a hard grindset in which work can become a form of leisure.

Planning out each day is an effective method for not only self-improvement but as a good way to live your life, as you know each event and activity is choreographed and scheduled, with no worries of interruptions or other plans coming up.

4: Hold yourself accountable

It is important to make sure you stay consistent with regular activities helping you grow and flourish. Sometimes you may slack off and begin doing less of the habits you should be doing, which in that case you need to correct your course.

Setting daily challenges is a great way to hold yourself accountable. For instance, if you want to become more socially interactive, set a goal of talking four new people every day. This provides goals to accomplish and after completing it you feel fulfilled and happy that you achieved something that day.

There are many different methods to going about remaining consistent and diligent in your work, as if you stray away from your plans and progress, you'll slowly stagnate and then start to decline on your self-improvement journey.

3: Do your own thing

There is no perfect self-improvement manual or plan. Everything depends on you as a person and what environmental forces dictate what activities you do.

Self-improvement is a personal choice and you shouldn't feel ashamed of being on it. Other people will think you're going too extreme or want you to keep doing the bad habits and activities they enjoyed doing with you, and this is the litmus test to see if you're doing self-improvement correctly.

If you are actually changing as a person, it'll be indicated by how others treat you. If your friends condemn you and belittle you for actually doing good habits, you'll know instantly that they are weak and pathetic people who want to discourage you from success.

2: Don't get complacent

Self-improvement can quickly become less of an enjoyable activity and more of a chore if you keep the same routine up for long periods of time. To avoid this complacency, you need to change either the order of the habits you do on a daily basis or try a new routine every couple of months.

If you start becoming complacent with self-improvement, you'll find yourself slowly spiraling back into your old, not so fantastic habits and being more lazy. Always remember to stay motivated through trying new things as well, as this can impact your journey greatly and not detriment your success.

1: Develop of a Self-Improvement Journal

Most people have a tough time really organizing what they need to do for self-improvement. Many have no way of tracking what they do and how they do it. This increases the potential for mistakes and doing things incorrectly.

That is why you must dedicate a journal for self-improvement purposes, with different organizers in it to categorize your goals, achievements, journaling prompts and even some inspirational quotes.

Not many major influencers or creators simply suggested posting papers with your goals and walls and whatnot, but having a journal that you can take anywhere with those same objectives is incredibly powerful, especially if you travel a lot.
