Everyone knows someone who works full time, volunteers, runs a successful blog, and somehow still finds time to go grocery shopping, cook organic Instagram-worthy meals, foster a loving relationship, walk their pug and train for a half marathon.

These kinds of super-achievers have the same number of hours in the day as the rest of us, but somehow, they always seem to get more done. How do they do it? And how can you tweak your mindset to become a high achiever, too.

Fully Commit

Whatever you’re doing right now? Be fully in it. Commit. When you see an Olympic hurdler leaping over barricades with superhuman agility, does she look distracted? Nope. She is 100% invested in the task at hand. And as you can see from her success, commitment leads to greatness.

Avoid Multitasking

The human mind is not designed for multitasking. In fact, research has proven that we’re pretty terrible at it. When you try to multitask, you lose focus, you’re more likely to make errors, and projects tend to take longer. Strive to shut off all distractions.

Ban Interruptions

Super-achievers know that interruptions are productivity-killers, so they avoid them at all costs. If you don’t have a door to close, try finding a quiet space where you won’t be nudged and turn off your incoming email notifications for a few hours.

Level Up Your Environment

You’ve probably heard the expression, “If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room.” Same goes for achievement and productivity. When you surround yourself with high-energy, like-minded people, you tend to rise to their level—while inspiring them, too.

Banish Negative Emotions

When you allow negative emotions—like frustration, anger, disappointment, or self-loathing, to build up inside of you, you can easily head down a destructive path.

Most super-achievers I know have some kind of emotion-management practice that they rely on: meditating, journaling, a weekly check-in with a life coach, or a good old-fashioned punching-bag session at the gym. Find a strategy that works for you.

Last, but not least, remember that those incredible super-achievers you admire and aspire to be like are just ordinary people with flaws and fears, too.
