Goals
make them. It’s overwhelmingly more difficult to achieve something if you don’t write it down, plan it out, and focus on accomplishing that specific thing. Make them achievable and give yourself a time limit to accomplish them. A good way to set goals is to picture your end goal and break it down backwards from there. Just for Today: picture yourself in five years and write down exactly where you would like to see yourself, tomorrow you can begin to break it down into achievable goals.
