The 1% Rule - Marginal Improvement is the key

For those who not only find it hard to start and but also to continue on their goals , you only need to do 1% more than where you were yesterday ! Here's what you can do -

  1. Break down your assignment/ goals into smallest unit ( may be a 15 mins worth of task )
  2. Reward yourself for you small victories as a cue to come back next day ( e.g - completion of a chapter over a span of six 15 min sessions spread across days )
  3. Human tendency to get bored from a mundane repetitive task is so high that you need to mix and match your other light weight activities.
  4. Track , Measure and asses your progress.
