1. Schedule a specific time and day to work on the goal – just as if it were an appointment. Don’t just wait for “someday” to work on it. It will always get bumped by more urgent (but not necessarily more important) tasks unless you make it a priority. Carving out a specific time to work on the project will make sure it finds its way onto your to-do list.
2. Do a little at a time. How much progress could you make
if you had 36 hours to work on your goal? If you work only
10 minutes a day on a goal, that’s 36 hours a year!
3. Write this note on a post-it: “What have I done today to
work on __________ ?” (write your goal on the blank line)
Put it where
you’ll see it right before you go to bed,
and ask yourself what you have done that day on the
goal. If your answer is “nothing,” get up the
next day and resolve to work harder and smarter.
4. Work with a partner. Make a wager that you have to buy
him or her lunch if you don’t complete certain tasks by a
specified date (deadlines give us structure and focus).
5. Ask yourself: “How will I feel if I never complete this
goal?” Remind yourself that you deserve the success and
happiness that comes from setting & achieving interesting
goals.
