  1. Write things down is such a big one for me. If it’s only in my head, there is a very high chance that I’ll never get around to doing it!

    Also, multi-tasking. Damn! I used to write so proudly in my resume that I am really good at multi-tasking, but I’ve realised that when I am multi-tasking, I am not really being good at any single thing individually. So I am learning to focus on just one thing at a time.

  2. I agree, so important to write things down. My blog is all about my bucket list and one of the things I always stick to is that you have to write your list down, otherwise it will pass you by. I do love a motivational quote to give me a little boost now and then. I often see one and shout ‘yasss! Let’s do this!’ so they definitely help!

  3. These are great tips! I definitely might try writing a statement for my goals. Motivational quotes are also so helpful!

  4. There are some great tips here! Visualising my goals definitely is the best thing that helps me – I’ve started making vision boards (physical ones, laptop wallpapers, and Pinterest boards) so that I constantly see it and feel inspired x

  5. I am the worse at multitasking and losing focus. I didn’t even realize I was doing it until I read this. Thank you for your thoughts.

  7. This is great. I’ve always been better at goal setting and not actually achieving them.
    Stopping multitasking and creating a step by step plan have been the most helpful for me.
    Thanks for sharing!

  8. I think my biggest flaw in staying motivated is that I don’t actually write my goals down, I just store them in my brain and hope that I can keep them at the forefront of my mind, but that doesn’t always work out haha. I really need to try and actually write them down and stick them somewhere I can see them everyday to help me stay focused. And I agree about the multitasking, I’m guilty of that as well and I think it ends up pulling me farther away from my goals rather than closer towards them. Thank you for sharing!

  9. Reading motivational quotes is my favorite way to stay motivated! I have a calendar of positive affirmations and every morning I read the quote of the day following think about how I relate to it. I save the ones that I can relate to too.

  10. I’m always struggling to excel in one thing because of my constant desire to start something new before I’m finished with the first, using the written milestones is something I can definitely see helping me to stick to one goal at a time, thanks for the tips!!

  11. Multitasking is definitely something I’m guilty of! I end up having about 10 blog posts on the go at once because I get too excited by the next idea that comes along – what’s helped though is having a blog schedule so that I know exactly when I need particular posts finished by šŸ™‚

  12. Great post, I often read self-help books, so this post was really interesting to me.
    Thanks for the inspiration. Creating a milestone is something I sometimes neglect, it is good to set deadlines to create a clear focus.
    Thanks for sharing. x

  13. i wholeheartedly agree with visualizing your goals. I find for me personally i have so many ideas that i want to act on… but the ones that i end up actually working on are always those ones which i break down what i need to do to work towards that goal.

  14. Writing a statement helps me. It’s just staying focused on it and not forgetting, but putting it in a very noticeable place makes for a good reminder.

  15. Thank you for these important reminders! I’m very guilty of multitasking – I suffer from shiny object syndrome sometimes and my attention will jump from project to project. Thanks for these tips for staying on task so I can crush my goals!!
