We all know a flake, it might even be YOU!

Time wasted is never a good feeling. When someone flakes on you, it basically tells you they have no respect for you or your time. At some point we have to raise the level of standards we accept from people, and ourselves.

There’s nothing worse than having plans made and having someone hit you last minute about how they can’t make it. I understand if it’s an emergency which isn’t really flaking, but the majority of times people will simply make excuses or cancel last minute due to their lack of organization or they’re simply not in the mood.

We could be upset at others flaking on us, but we have to admit we flake on ourselves too. Do you do the things you say you’re gonna do? Do you keep the promises you make to yourself? Do you stay committed to achieve those goals you set for yourself?

Calendars are a great way to organize your life and keeping track of all your daily tasks.

Before we can demand something from others we have to demand it from ourselves first.

How not to flake on yourself:

Develop habits that will bring you closer to achieving your goals. Think about the actions you need to take, and then find ways to make them easy and attractive in order to follow through.
Break habits that deter you from reaching your goals. Think about the actions you mindlessly take that leave you feeling down and not productive at all. Find ways to make those actions unattractive and hard to act on in the first place, then replace them with better habits.
Schedule time for things that are important to you and follow through with it.
(This is not an easy process by any means, but with self awareness, accountability and self control, you’ll be on your way to keeping your promises to yourself everyday.)

How not to flake with others:

Be straight up with people about making plans. If you aren’t really in the mood to go out or be around people, then just say that. Your real friends won’t take anything personal. It’s better to be real about how you feel than to make plans because you feel like you have to, and end up flaking last minute.
Remember your word is bond. Whatever you do agree to do, keep your word. It’s better to be known as dependable and reliable than a flake. Keep yourself organized to the point where you know you can deliver on your promises.
Keep it real with yourself. No one can tell you what you should be committing to, except you. Are you trying to keep up with others expectations? What do you really think you should be doing? This can be an uncomfortable thought process, but you owe it to yourself!

As we finish up the first month of the new year we want to encourage you to hold yourself accountable and do everything you said you would. Around this time is when the “New Years resolutions” slowly start fading away and we fall back into our old ways. Stay focused! Remember that when it gets hard it’s only cause you’re on a whole new level of this game we call life.
