Key Ideas
Find purpose
Think about what you want from your life. Your true goal is more profound than buying a nice car. What objective brings you a sense of joy, fun, and freedom? It could be providing for your family or being the best in your field.
Once you know what you really want, you start making progress towards it.
Visualize the outcome
You're not failing to reach your goals because you are incapable - you're failing because you're trying to focus on too many things at the same time.
Instead of focusing on what you need to do to reach your goal, visualize the outcome. If you think of the outcome instead of the steps to get there, you're more likely to pursue your goal. Then the steps will become a couple of manageable tasks.
Utilize N.E.T. time
N.E.T. stands for “No Extra Time,” and it’s based on the concept that you always have time during your day that you can fill with learning.
An important step in achieving any goal is to continue learning at every opportunity. Feed your mind during downtime. It could mean listening to a podcast while commuting.

Learn how to communicate better
We often lose valuable time because of miscommunication.
Communicating with your partner and your team at the office leads to better relationships and schedules. Life management becomes easier when you take the time to really listen.

Ways to deal with depression
Understand the common triggers. Once you understand which one is behind your depression, you can better learn how to cope with depression.
Feelings of loss, “less than” and “never going to happen” are the major reasons that most people dip into depression. Loss can result from a loved one dying or losing a job; feelings of “less than” can be triggered by comparing yourself to others you view as having more than you and “never” occurs when you start believing that your goals and dreams are completely out of reach.
