Setting Goals

Break things down into manageable chunks

It’s ok if you are over whelmed but that shouldn’t stop

you from trying to feel better. You won't be able to
sustain your willpower if you feel like you're setting
impossibly high standards for yourself. You can increase
your willpower by breaking down difficult tasks in
small, manageable chunks.

Staying On Task

Manage negative thoughts

Negative thoughts will inevitably pop up during

your journey. You may take one setback to mean
you can never change, or you may simply have a
voice in your head, chattering away that you won't
succeed, putting you down. If you want to
increase willpower,

negativity does not help as it makes you feel defeated and hopeless. While
it's impossible to stop negative thoughts completely, you can change how
you react and deal with them.

Making Lifestyle Changes

Develop good habits

Stress is a major killer of willpower. When we're

overworked and frustrated, we succumb to
behaviors we'd rather work against. By
developing good personal habits, we're more
likely to stay on track when stressed.

Making Lifestyle Changes

Do not procrastinate

Procrastination can kill willpower. Putting off

duties that are seen as a burden makes us more
likely to not do them at all. Avoid procrastination
as much as you can if you want to ramp up your
willpower.

Making Lifestyle Changes

Keep a journal.

Journaling can help increase willpower as you can see a log

of your progress. Setbacks will feel less harsh when you can
look at them in comparison to your achievements. Say you
gained five pounds over the holidays. Look back at your
journaling from when you started your weight loss journey to
remember how far you've come.

Time Management

“Time management” is the process of organizing and planning how to divide

your time between specific activities. Good time management enables you to
work smarter – not harder – so that you get more done in less time, even when
time is tight and pressures are high. Failing to manage your time damages your
effectiveness and causes stress.

It seems that there is never enough time in the day. But, since we all get the same
24 hours, why is it that some people achieve so much more with their time than
others? The answer lies in good time management.

What Is Time Management?

“Time management” refers to the way that you organize and plan how long you
spend on specific activities.

It may seem counter-intuitive to dedicate precious time to learning about time

management, instead of using it to get on with your work, but the benefits are
enormous:

Daily Planning for Success

Discipline for Success – Daily Planning

Much of the time spent reacting to crises reflects an inability

to plan. Taking ten minutes at the end of the day to plan what
you want to achieve the following day is the cornerstone of
effective daily planning. More typically they seek inspiration
in their diaries or seek refuge in routine tasks like reading
their email, and wait for the first meeting or interruption to
set them on a path for the rest of the day.

Prioritizing Tasks

The urgency/importance grid is as an effective way of categorizing and

prioritizing tasks. It describes three different types of task A, B and C.

Type A tasks are those that are both important and urgent.

Type B tasks are those that are either important or urgent, but not both.

Type C tasks are those that are neither important nor urgent.

Using a Planner

A planner, or scheduler, is a centralized inventory of your known future

commitments and your unfinished work. It should be organized systematically
and held in one folder, or on a computer, so that authorized staff can see your
future commitments. This enables teams to work more effectively together when
scheduling or delegating work.
