During the Q&A session I did on my WhatsApp status asking people for the greatest challenge they've faced so far during their journey through Decentralized Finance, most kept complaining about their inability to build consistency so I made it a point to create a thread on it

We all have at one point or the other wanted to drop our pens and journals to say we're done and don't want to continue researching or even pay attention to what's going on with the crypto market due to a bad pullback we've had or maybe because our researches weren't hitting
target or the kind of money we were expecting to make out from it in a week or more after learning, we haven't made it.
In as much as we've faced all these, there are ways we can help get ourselves to focus and stay consistent in our journey; I'll be telling us the strategies

I used that have made me keep my head in the game for the past 1year that even After facing rugpulls or losing so much money, I'm very much still into it. They might not all work for you but I believe that if you can follow them, they'll help to an extent... Let's get to it
1. BE REALISTIC IN YOUR GOALS: You've learnt about the wonders and DEFI and now you want to start putting into practice all you've learnt, set goals that you know that you can easily accomplish; don't say cause you know people who have made millions from it,
you want to set goals of hitting 1million or 500k in a week. Instead, set easy goals that can be easily accomplished, it could be you hitting N10k which is Abt $20 with a capital of $10 and when you hit the goal, set up another one that you can easily achieve.
2. HAVE A SCHEDULE & USE REMINDERS: This worked for me and helped me alot cause while I was researching and learning back then, I was also attending classes at the modelling academy I was in so what I did then was have a daily planner for myself and I setup reminders in my phone
to tell me what I should be doing at that time and I made sure to stick to it. Always have an outline of your activities for that day and set a particular time for DeFi; maybe an hour or 2 from your entire schedule and use that time judiciously and you'll find yourself creating
an habit out of it cause you do it daily.
3. HANDLING MISTAKES: Now this can come in 2 ways; not sticking to your schedule and not also hitting your target after researching on a project and it goes sideways. No matter how organized you are, you should know that there are times
3. HANDLING MISTAKES: Now this can come in 2 ways; not sticking to your schedule and not also hitting your target after researching on a project and it goes sideways. No matter how organized you are, you should know that there are times
other activities come up and you then forget to do what you're supposed to do inorder to have the right allocated time for your research, don't beat yourself, just give it a rest and move the other day, just don't make it a habit of always forgetting and that's why you should
have a reminder for yourself. About the research aspect, if you did a good research and you see that the project doesn't follow your analysis, relax and go over that same project again and try to find out what went wrong with your analysis and try to fix it so next time you'll
know what to do if such an issue arises.
4. INCREASE YOUR WILLPOWER: Now you can't achieve anything if you don't have a strong will for that thing. It will be impossible for you to want to continue if you don't love what you're doing.

Always practice, ask yourself why you're even doing it in the first place; maybe it's cause you have bills to pay; now make those bills an inspiration or a means to make you love researching; for me back then, I had to meet up with my academy fees so I had no choice but to
take researching seriously so I could make the money to pay my pending bills and along the way, I fell in love with my research because it became my Holy Grail and last stop.
5. GIVE YOURSELF TIME TO CHANGE YOUR MINDSET: DeFi isn't so easy no matter how most of us try to sugarcoat it but it can be easy for you if you build the mindset that you can do it. If after a month or more of learning and you aren't seeing results, tell yourself that you can do
it that everyone has their own time and it's just not yours; while being realistic, be persistent and don't give up; give yourself time to think of what exactly works best for you in your DEFI journey; you can't he everywhere. Choose a niche for starting up and focus on it and
make the most off it.
6. BUILD RELATIONSHIPS: A very important thing you need to know about this space is that you can never make it on your own; build relationships with the right people. You see people who are just starting out as you but are determined to get better,

create relationships with them as this helps alot; having a research buddy will help you cover different areas as each of you will task yourselves and give yourselves weekly targets so even if you get lazy, when you remember your buddies and what could be your punishment
if you don't hit your target, you'll be forced to get serious.
7. MAKE AN EFFORT TO REWARD YOURSELF: As you set a goal on a particular amount you intend to hit, don't forget to always gift yourself something new for every new accomplishment you get. This helped alot;

sometimes I'll tell myself that if I can get this certain amount, I'll buy myself a new bag I saw on IG and now for the sake of that bag I intend to get for myself, I'll have no choice but to work hard and be focus. This can very much help you too to keep your head in place.
8. ALWAYS REST: This is the part that most persons tend to want to ignore just cause they're starting out. You're a newbie doesn't mean you won't have your routine naps; this helps alot to relax the mind and prepare you for another round of getting serious.
Always find time out to rest, it helps.
It takes a month of doing something consistently for it to be an habit; remove any form of distractions from your path and focus on what made you begin and whenever you think of the reasons why you started,

you'll find yourself wanting to do more so you can stay grounded.
I really do hope you've learnt something from all you just read, if you did, be a sweetheart and like, drop a comment and help this post reach out to more persons by retweeting. Stay Blessed.
