Decide when you will do it.

Decide how you will do it.

Decide who you will need help from and make sure they are on board with your plan before moving forward with anything else!

Think of the action you need to take and write it down in one sentence.

Introduction

The feeling of being constantly overwhelmed by all the things you need to do can be exhausting and frustrating. It's easy to let this feeling keep you from taking action on any one thing, especially if it involves something that seems difficult or uncomfortable. But once you get started on something new, it becomes much easier! This is true for many things like learning a language or studying for an exam—but also for motivation itself: Once you're motivated and focused, everything else will follow suit. So don't procrastinate; start getting excited about what's ahead of you!

You need to decide and this decision should be as soon as possible, once and for all.

Decide what you want and why you want it.

Decide what you will do to get it.It's time to get your hands dirty, so grab a pen and paper.

When you're ready, write down the action you need to take in one sentence. Make sure it is clear and concise; don't be vague or wishy-washy here. If you can't explain what the step is in one sentence, then maybe it's not something that should be done yet.

Also make sure this action actually helps move toward achieving your goal; if it doesn't fit with your goal, then put it away for later—you might want to use this as an "in case of emergency" plan when things start getting out of hand again!

Finally: make sure that what you've written down will help you achieve your goals! If there are other actions that could lead up to this final step more quickly than what's currently written down (and they wouldn't result in going back on any previous steps), write those down too!

Focus on what you are going to do instead of what you are avoiding.

Don't procrastinate, exhilerate. Focus on what you are going to do instead of what you are avoiding.

Whatever it is that you have been putting off; focus on the positive, not the negative. Focus on what you can do, not what you can't do. Focus on the action, not the outcome and most importantly: never stop learning!

Create a deadline for yourself, even if only in your own mind.

• Deadlines are a great way to motivate yourself and make sure that you get things done.

• You can use a calendar, or just set yourself a time limit.

• You can also use a friend or family member as an accountability partner to help keep yourself on track if it feels like you want to procrastinate with something else in the meantime.

If there's no pressure from outside sources, then why would anyone start writing their novel?

Tell others of your plans and ask them to help keep you honest by asking you how things are going.

It's important to have someone in your life that you can tell about your plans. It is a good idea to ask them to help keep you honest by asking you how things are going. If it isn't possible for you to share this information with people in your life, then consider writing down the details of what you want and post it somewhere where others will see it (such as on Facebook). This way, even if no one else knows what is going on but themself, they will be able to see their progress at any given time!

Take a small, new step in some direction that is related to your goal.

Don't be ambitious when you take that first step. In fact, don't make the mistake of trying to do too much at once. When you are beginning any new undertaking, it's best to start with a smaller task and work your way up from there.

Perhaps our friend here has agreed to begin a diet plan today and go for a run tomorrow morning before work—that might be asking too much! Instead, he could simply commit himself to eating one less cookie each day this week until he has lost 20 pounds (which will also save him money as well).

I've made this mistake plenty of times myself: I'll think "I'm going to write an amazing novel in one month!" and then get discouraged after three weeks when I still haven't finished my first chapter yet (but I did stop watching Netflix). Or perhaps this person is planning on starting their own business but hasn't thought through how they're going invest their time or money into building out the business model yet—which means they should probably focus on getting some basic marketing strategies set up before diving all-in headfirst into creating physical products or hiring employees (and maybe even paying taxes!).

Motivation is a mindset, not a skill.

Motivation is a mindset, not a skill. The power to be motivated lies in the way you think about yourself and the world around you. If your mind is going to be productive, you need to train it for success. Here's how:

• Set goals for yourself, and then achieve them! Remember that every time you reach a goal, your brain sends out endorphins and dopamine—one of nature's most powerful feel-good chemicals—to reward your efforts. Over time these molecules will make it easier for you to set more ambitious goals instead of giving up halfway through a project or task because they'll give you that extra oomph needed to keep going until completion (and beyond).

Conclusion

I know that it can be difficult to take action on your goals. You might feel overwhelmed or paralyzed by fear, or maybe you're just not sure where to start. The key is to keep moving forward in small ways, even if they don't seem like much at first—and then celebrate them as victories! As we've seen here today, the most important thing is that you keep working towards what matters most in your life (that's why we're all here!). And if there's one thing we all have in common when it comes down to it? It's that we're human beings who want more out of life than what society tells us is acceptable or normal."
