6. Put Your Goals Where You Can See Them Every Day

Writing a goal down makes it all the more real. Hang it up somewhere you will see it often and inspire yourself at your work desk, in your bedroom, in your car, etc. Write the goal in your yearly planner. Put it on your kitchen calendar.

You can also set actual calendar reminders on your phone to go off once a week or so. But be nice to yourself. Don't scare or shame yourself into your goals; rather, be happy, positive, and encouraging. Increase self-discipline by adding motivational quotes from people you admire.
