1 Be specific when setting goals – know exactly what you want to achieve and how you will achieve it
2 Decide in advance when will you take the actions aimed towards your goal. Even better, do it as soon as an opportunity arises
3 Check your progress and know exactly how far you have left to go
4 Be a realistic optimist – believing in your ability to succeed is enormously helpful, but don’t underestimate, how difficult it will be or you’ll end up ill-prepared
5 Focus on developing abilities and acquiring new skills rather than goals
6 Have grit – a willingness to commit to long-term goals and persist in the face of difficulty. Think Naruto
7 Build your willpower muscle by doing something you’d rather not do. Later, increase your workout
8 Willpower muscle is limited – don’t try too hard or you’ll run out of steam. Don’t make reaching a goal harder than it already is.
9 If you’re trying to change a habit, replace bad habits with good ones instead of focusing your thoughts on the bad ones.
