7 habits of highly effective people

People who take up a task, have a goal or just want to start a new habit have something in common. 

1. A support network

Make friends to meet, share victories and comfort in setbacks.A like-minded friend is a powerful motivation force. Surround yourself with people pursuing similar goals. 

2. Goals

Have specific goals, that are measurable. Establish a time frame for accomplishing them. 

3. Keeping track

Write down everything you do to achieve your goals. Use any system you're comfortable with: a computer, phone or calendar. Not only does it help you to make sure you're on track. It will motivate you even further and you'll be looking forward to writing down what you've done today. 

4. Planning ahead

Schedule is everything. Plan ahead, so you won't get lost. 

5. Reasonable expectations

Accept, that there are times when you won't be able to give your everything. If you'll do even a little, you can feel proud. If you don't do anything, that's fine too. Don't give up, just accept the situation and decide to push through it. 

6. Consistency

Make a plan you can stick to. Don't have too radical changes, that you're unable to complete. Rather strive for small challenges that are sustainable on the long run. 

7. Finding the larger value

You deserve to be happy. You should do things that make you feel good. Make taking care of yourself your top priority and find goals that help you succeed in this.
