Many suggest four basic principles stated in many different ways:
1) Decide precisely what you are want to achieve and accept no substitute. Visualize yourself reaching your target.
2) Choose to take action define the steps needed to reach your goal. Then take massive action. Keep your eyes on your goal and act vigorously and relentlessly to make your goal a reality;
3) Take time to recognize progress and lack of progress so you can repeat, add to, or alter your action steps accordingly;
4) Realize that you may ( in fact most will ) make mistakes along the way. Don't despair - instead abandon preconceived notions of what should or will ultimately work. Be willing to change your plans and actions as needed.
Here’s one healthy habit for reaching your goals you can start tonight -
Set aside 30 minutes each night to review your plan for the following day.
Once your day begins, take a few minutes if you can to review your plan for the day and decide which actions will deliver the most results. Many find it difficult to take time for planning their day on the run. It is much easier to develop an action plan - realizing that plans can be altered in mid-stream. Be flexible. Keep your momentum. Some famous motivational speaker used to say "Plan your work and work your plan".
You have the ability to store a thousand ideas and details associated with your day. However, you can work on only one thing at a time. Planning your day the night before acts as a sorting-out process and calms the nervous system, which has been in hyper mode all day. Think of it like cleaning up your pots and pans after you make that delicious meal. If you don't do it now - they will be all that much harder to clean when you need them tomorrow!
The benefit is the feeling of being more in control and less overwhelmed by the nearly inevitable onslaught of daily interruptions. Having some handle on what you want to accomplish tomorrow might even help you sleep a little better!
