Successful people are those who have learnt the act of taking everyday as it comes and making the most of it. Majority of people just go through the day and can barely point what has been achieved. It is a common struggle among young people. They have all these ideas in their minds and so many things that they want to be. The truth is that if we can make the most out of the day, we'll gradually be creating the picture of the future that we have in our imagination.

These are five steps that'll help every willing person get the most out of their day.

"Sleep a little. Doze a little. Fold your hands and twiddle your thumbs. Suddenly, everything is gone, as though it had been taken by an armed robber." Proverbs 6:10-11 CEV 

Everyone knows that sleep gets more interesting in the mornings. You know that 'just five more minutes' sleep that turn into 30 more minutes. The truth is that if we actually wake up at the right time, we'll be one step in the right direction.

Now the question arises on how one can do without hitting the snooze button. In my opinion, you first need to find out what works for you best, staying up late or waking up really early. Whichever works for you, you need to determine when you need to sleep and wake up and then stick to it. The truth is that if you don't stick to your bed time, waking up at the right time is going to be a lot difficult.

• Set realistic and definite GOALS   

"A goal properly set is halfway reached."- Zig Ziglar 

Place a demand on your day when you wake up. Set goals that are both relevant on a short-term and long-term basis. When your goals are set you work with a greater sense of purpose and determination. It helps you channel your energy towards the things that are more important and more befitting.

• Be ACCOUNTABLE for your time
