STEP 1: Describe the desired result

Describe in a few words what needs to be done. To make the sale, learn how to speak English, will get acquainted with the right person.
This should be completed action with a specific result. The human brain does not perceive the abstract, vague desires. This is an important step if you want to understand how to motivate yourself.

STEP 2: Imagine the future result

Close your eyes and imagine yourself reaching result. Scroll in his imagination short film. You in the main role. Look at everything through the eyes of the beholder. And at a fast pace scroll all events, from this point until reaching the desired result. The result is formulated in a few words in the first step.
This will allow you to see the chain of actions needed to obtain the result.

STEP 3: Imagine how it all began

Close your eyes and imagine where you began your journey. Scroll in his imagination the same short film. You in the main role. Look at everything through the eyes of the beholder. And at a fast pace scroll all events, starting from childhood and up to this point. Seeing how much you've managed to make, recognize your success by saying "What I have done, I've already achieved."
This will allow you to see how much you have reached in this case. This exercise resembles the previous one, only now you are not the future, and your past successes.
Run time: 5 minutes.

 

STEP 4: Write a list of all the steps

Take a sheet of paper and write a list of all the steps needed to achieve results. Then on a new sheet of paper, break each step for a few steps. You need to divide the steps so that each of the items in the list corresponds to a simple action for 1 – 2 hours of continuous operation.
Usually, to get the result we need to make not one step but several. Therefore it is better to record all the steps in one list. Also remember, the main reason for low motivation in vague and abstract tasks. As already mentioned, the human brain perceives only a specific task. Abstraction – to learn English, so General and vague that lost all desire to act. But when you have a clear to-do list and each task requires no more than 2 hours to complete – all that remains to do is to do it.
Run time: from 10 minutes to 1 hour.

STEP 5: Install timing

Set dates for each item from the list that must be completed. The Golden rule of calculation of time: after setting the date or the hour of completion of the case – multiply it by 2.
We always tend to exaggerate their capabilities, and do not know how to clearly calculate the time to the activity that is performed for the first time. Therefore, stick to the simple rules and multiply time by 2.
The timing required. Without deadlines we'll just postpone the execution of the deeds.
Run time: 5 minutes.

 

STEP 6: Start to perform

Begin serial execution plan. Select the first step from the list, determine the runtime (say 1 hour), start to perform. Don't stay and bring the matter to an end. Then reward yourself with something. Remove the case from the list and proceed to the next paragraph.
 

The key point in this step is bringing the case to the end. Any interruption, postponement of the case, is nothing short of a distance to obtain the desired result. Faster way to get what you want simply does not exist.published
