The important stuff we want to accomplish in our lives tends to get pushed aside by the urgent and routine stuff we have to do.
Understanding what the one most important thing is in your life at this moment.
For each part of your life list the most important things you want to accomplish. Prioritize them and pick the top 5. Then forget about the rest. Relegate them to the chaos of life and let them take care of themselves Now from the five, pick the one thing you are going to focus on this month. It will be a part of your big goal that is small enough for you to have a good chance of accomplishing it in a month. Break this months goal down into small steps you can accomplish in a few hours.
Plan to work on this one most important thing for an hour or less every day. If you are not able to fit an hour of concentrated work into your every day's schedule cut back on the time to a half hour or even less. The important thing is you work on it consistently every day. How long doesn't matter. what matters is you don't put it off.
I didn't initially catch the importance of this but realize the brilliance of keeping it simple. I know of others that are a whole lot better...
Thanks Bill, I appreciate that you found it important to share your secret
Yet another method I like that I started implementing effectively just over the last week is the one goal a day method: http://www.onesimplegoal.com/tips
Using this method, I finally got myself to do one thing I've been putting off for ages, i.e., meditate (using YouTube guided meditation video). And yesterday, I finally got myself to figure out how to use a drill.
One thing that doesn't work for me is trying to stick to a schedule. Though a schedule might work for some people, I seem to be resistant to any fairly rigid structure.
Setting daily goals are so very important. That way a dream can become a reality.
I have created a similar training that you can have a look at. I will edit my training to reference yours. How To Set Daily Goals Hennie
