Tips For Reaching A Goal.
If you’re having trouble accomplishing a task, try these tips:
Write down your goal.
Make a long to-do list to give yourself a feeling of progress as you work toward a distant goal.
Break your main task into smaller, more manageable tasks, and begin by doing whatever is easiest.
Set a deadline.
Don’t give up if something interferes with your deadline.
Ask advice and support from knowledgeable people.
Get familiar with other people’s work, so you don’t reinvent the wheel.
Sometimes it helps to keep the stakes low at the beginning, so you feel less worried about making a mistake; sometimes it helps to keep the stakes high from the beginning, so you're not tempted to slack off.
Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. It’s better to do something imperfectly than nothing perfectly.
