One of the worst things you can do is waste your existence.

Life is one of the most amazing things in the universe and you’re incredibly lucky to be here right now. So, take advantage of it!

However, if you don’t have goals, you’ll default to focusing on things that don’t matter. You’ll depress yourself with negative thinking or engage in drama with others.

Whether you want to learn a new skill, improve your personality, or strengthen relationships, your goals will determine if it happens. When you don’t have them, you’ll spend time watching those who do, while your life slips away.

Next, write out everything you’ll need to do, and if you don’t know, Google it.

  • Then, prioritize these steps and schedule time to do them.
  • Break down the massive projects into smaller steps.
  • Also, give yourself enough time so you don’t fall behind or get discouraged.

Then, hang your list in your daily line of sight and do the steps you planned to do in the times you’ve set.
