The first approach can be very successful

Know your three steps forward. You do not need more. Fill out your weekly calendar, noting when you will do what and how.?

When-what-how is important to schedule. Review how each day went by what you learned and revise what you could improve.

You should never expect others to do it for you, not even your partner, friend or boss. They are all busy with their own needs.

9 and 10 is useful

Hmmm thanks

No one will make you happy or achieve your goals for you. It’s all on you.

Meaningless things and distractions will always be in your way, especially those easy, usual things you would rather do instead of focusing on new challenging and meaningful projects.

That's good

Ohhh really

Learn to focus on what is the most important. Write a list of time-wasters and hold yourself accountable to not do them.

Next step after getting rid of negative thoughts is to use your imagination. When things go well, you are full of positive energy, and when you are experiencing difficulties, you need to be even more energetic.

It’s a matter of imagination! You can always find something to learn even from the worst boss in the world at the most boring job.

I have a great exercise for you: Just for three days, think and say positive things only. See what happens.

Thoughts influence feelings and feelings determine how you view your work. You have a lot of thoughts in your head, and you always have a choice of which ones to focus on:

the ones that will make you emotionally stuck (fears, doubts) or the ones that will move you forward

If you focus on the excitement of discovery, improving, exploring and experimenting, your motivation will always be fueled.

If you focus only on results, your motivation will be like weather—it will die the minute you hit a storm.

So the key is to focus on the journey, not the destination. Keep thinking about what you are learning along the way and what you can improve.

Just how committed are you to your goal?

How important is it for you, and what are you willing to sacrifice in order to achieve it?

Ohhkk thats good

If you find yourself fully committed, motivation will follow.

When I looked back on my days as an athlete, I understood what was different. I remembered what (or who) made me push myself even when I didn’t want to.

Hmm

The difference was, as an athlete, I had structured days and a coach to report to. Structure keeps us focused and a coach keeps pushing and challenging us.
