The biggest pest, when coming to terms of how to manage time, is procrastination. There are theories that say procrastination is linked to depression, and some say it is a learned response. One thing is for certain; the less you procrastinate, the more efficiently you are able to manage your time.

There are four themes connected to procrastination. There is the Self-Doubting Procrastinator, who fears he will fail at his task so he second-guesses himself out of taking action. There is the Discomfort Dodger, who avoids activities that cause anxiety or discomfort. There is the Guilt-Driven Person, who feels guilty about putting off important tasks but continues to procrastinate to avoid the pressing guilt. Finally, there is the Habitual Procrastinator, one who has procrastinated so many times that the action has become routine, just a part of the person.

Acknowledging you procrastinate and wanting to change the behavior is great, but it can be difficult to know what you should do to break the habit. After all, our society rewards procrastination. Extensions to deadlines are common and often given, people who arrive late at appointments with apologies are excused, and companies give pats on the back for last minute bursts of effort, not for slow, steady progress. With all that rewarding of procrastination and society’s hands-down acceptance of the habit, it’s tough to know how to break away from putting things off until the last minute.

The first step toward breaking the procrastination spell is to make a to-do-list. The list doesn’t have to be in order, but it needs to be somewhere visible so that it can serve as a constant reminder of what needs to be done. After you have made a list, it would be great if you could prioritize that list. Those who’ve operated a work at home business realizes the value of this idea. You could rank your tasks by deadline or what is considered to be most important. You can also invest in a large calendar that can be a constant source for dates and writing notes. You need to put the calendar in a place that is common, so that it can be seen often and not hidden by a closed door and forgotten. If you have a punctuality problem when it comes to time and deadlines, you can up your deadlines by two days and set your clocks ahead by ten minutes. When you mentally think that the new time and deadline are the right ones, you will find yourself relieved that you not only made your deadline, but you did it early and now you have free time.

Unreliable, unpredictable, unstable: those are three words associated with procrastinators, unpleasant labels that no one really wants to be the owner of. Procrastinating can jeopardize many areas of your life, such as jobs or relationships, and it’s a very good idea to try and break yourself of the habit. What’s more, you may find that your newfound efficiency actually means you have more free time to spend doing the things you enjoy, instead of feeling guilty about the things you’ve been putting off.

You have a dream. Maybe you want to climb Mt Everest, move to another country to earn money for your future, start your own business or even go back into the working world after spending a few years taking care of the kids.

Why aren’t you doing it? What’s holding you back?

Listen, a dream is a vision in our mind. Creative dreaming without action is a far-fetched realization to goal attainment.

Typical examples are the great wonders of the world, those landmarks that typify or define the greatness of nations. Landmarks like the Statue of Liberty of the United States of America, the Big Ben of England, the Taj Mahal of India, the Great Wall of China, and numerous more. Imagine if these great ideas, these dreams were not acted upon, will we ever have them to be enjoyed by people from every nation on earth? What kind of achievement will each nation have if great thinkers just sit on their ideas and never acted on it. Absolutely nothing. We would probably be facing each other blankly wondering why and what went wrong?

Probably you’d say: “Oh? well? we still have the natural wonders like Niagara Falls, Mt. Fuji, beautiful coral reefs everywhere on earth.” Yes? but these are God’s creations. God did not create man in His own image if He thinks we won’t be using our creativity and put it into action. He might as well take it away from us. He expects us to act on it.

So what’s keeping us from acting on our ideas? We can name a few. Fear of failure is our biggest deterrent. Fear of being ridiculed, fear of sinking further to a depressed state than we presently are, fear of totally losing all we’ve got if we don’t achieve our personal goals, fear of taking risks.

We all have to take risk at one time or another. Risk may come to us in a variety of reasons, big or small. There are risks we can do without, but there are risks that leave us no option but to take and act on it.

As you can see, risks come in many forms. For comparison purposes, let us consider two: risk similar to winning or losing when we gamble and risk in pursuit of a goal.

The risk involved in gambling is for non-thinkers. This is tantamount to luck risk, not good judgment risk. Risk of this kind has no room in goal realization. It is like ignoring safety on the road, just for kicks, come what may, short-lived, to satisfy a craving.

However, risks taken to achieve goals has a definite lasting purpose, a purpose that will bring untold benefits once you achieve your goals. It is a risk worth taking for thinkers, not for happy-go-lucky non-thinkers. Risk in pursuit of a goal will bring stability and security in life, ultimately leading to happiness.

Whenever fear grips us, think positively. Look at it this way. Will we ever get anywhere if we don’t take the risk to act on our dreams? Will we be satisfied with our inaction, five, ten, or twenty years from now?

If you notice, there is one common denominator that is holding us back from acting on our dreams, that thing called fear. Fear is the biggest stumbling block to acting on a creative dream that it practically holds everything still. So it is imperative that we eliminate fear in our feelings to clear the way to our goal.

To overcome this fear, we have to face fear on the face, eye to eye, mano y mano. Let us take a typical example, say you have a fear of speaking in public. I guess a majority of us do. Worst scenario that could happen is you will get tongue-tied and spoil your entire speech in spite of having committed the entire speech into memory. You become the laughing stock of the audience. Don’t let it prevent you from speaking in public the next time around because if you do, fear has won over you and you will be cowering in this kind of fear for the rest of your life. To win over fear, draw lessons from your failure and capitalize on it the next time around. Don’t stop till you have successfully made a good speech. Once you do, you have actually turned the table around. This time, it is fear that fears you.

Another example with a somewhat different twist, say you are a lifeguard and you failed to save a drowning person who apparently should have been saved. Now this is a big failure because a life was at stake here. In spite of this, don’t give up being a lifeguard just because of one mistake. Think about the other lives you have saved before and will be saving if you continue to do so. Say you were able to save a person in an otherwise hopeless situation, doesn’t this offset or overcome the previous failure that happened?

The idea here is to give your best. Once you give your best, it just doesn’t get any better because it is already the best.

When you act on your dreams, think of your actions in a positive way. What you think is what will happen. What the mind can conceive, the body can achieve. Believe that the likely outcome of a thing that we do depends mostly on how we set our mind on it. Our actions originate from our thoughts and the ultimate result is dictated by our mind as well. If we think it will fail, it will. If we think it will succeed, it will. Mental thinking or attitude is the master of the actions we undertake.

Where your mental attitude is directed for a longer period of time, the more difficult it is to change to the opposite direction. If your mind is set on negative thoughts, the more difficult it will be to change to positive thoughts if you do not act on it immediately. However, if your mind is already set on positive thoughts for a long time, it will remain firm on this attitude as time goes by.

Defeat is imminent if your thoughts are in this direction. You may say: “I told you so” that an action has failed because you think it will, just to satisfy yourself when in fact, you are just looking for an excuse or easy way out. The end result is still a failure and what does that make you, a failure. You are just fooling yourself.

On the other hand, success is imminent when your thoughts say it will. Even if it fails the first time, you will learn from your failure and when you try again, you will ultimately succeed as you gain more experience. Keep on trying and persevering. There should be no let up and when success is at hand, you would have defeated defeat.

Here’s another nugget of thought. If you go all out and risk everything, there is nothing left to risk. When that happens, the only possible outcome is success. Don’t give up your dreams without even fighting for them just because the risks are too great.

The greater the risk, the bigger the reward and success is sweeter. Either way, whether you achieve your dream or not, you will come out of it a better person.

Goal setting helps us determine our priorities, get organized, make big decisions, and realize our dreams. The act of merely setting your personal lifetime goals brings about positive change for many people. When you set a goal you are creating an exciting challenge for yourself. Almost all motivational experts incorporate goal setting as an important part of their programs. The effectiveness of Goal Setting can be seen in the incredible accomplishments of people such as: Henry Ford who wanted to make cars affordable for everyone, Bill Gates whose goal was to have a computer in every household, and John F. Kennedy who set out to put a man on the moon within a decade. There is a famous story about Jim Carrey who, while struggling as an actor in 1987, drove his car up on Mulholland Drive in the Hollywood hills to think about the future. While sitting there overlooking the city of Los Angeles he wrote a check made out to himself for “acting services rendered” for the amount of $10 million. He dated the check for Thanksgiving of 1995. Jim’s Goal turned out to be conservative because by the time 1995 rolled around he was making $20 million a movie.

A typical goal achievement process entails the following requirements:

Well formed Goal Statements
Breaking goals down into manageable Steps
Motivation and Commitment
Reminders and Keeping on track
Frequent Review and Re-assessment

1. Well formed Goal Statements

The Goal Statement forms the basis for the entire process so careful attention should be placed on formulating a clear and accurate goal statement. A good way to remember how a goal statement should be defined is the old S.M.A.R.T. acronym used by many experts in goal setting. SMART stands for:

Specific
Measurable
Action-Oriented
Realistic
Tangible

The Goal should be specific enough so that we know exactly what we are striving for, measurable so we know exactly what is to be accomplished and when it has been reached, action-oriented declaring positive activity that will produce results, realistic in that it is practical and can be achieved given the limited availability of resources, and tangible meaning concrete and not vague. The goal statement “Increase sales 25% by the end of the fiscal year without increasing advertising spending” is an example that follows these rules.

2. Breaking down Goals into manageable Steps

Once we have a well-formed Goal Statement we need some direction to follow to achieve this Goal. While the goal “Increase sales 25% by the end of the fiscal year without increasing advertising spending” is a great goal statement, this is a monumental task without being broken down into smaller detailed steps. The creation of Goal Steps gives us an “Action Plan” that when completed will lead to Goal Achievement. Steps also allow for tracking of progress towards the goal. Goal Steps should be positive and not used to list obstacles that must be overcome which focuses on the negative. Negativity can kill motivation but there is power in positive thinking.

3. Motivation and Commitment

Motivation and commitment are what make us strive to achieve goal. They give us the push, desire, and resolve to complete all of the other steps in the Goal process. This motivation can be obtained by developing a personal statement that creates a high level of emotion and energy that guarantees achievement. One self help expert said that as a child he was kicked out of his local country club pool because he was not a member, in response he later made a goal that he would one day have a pool that is one foot bigger than that country club’s pool. The motivation of being asked to leave the pool provided the necessary fuel for him to achieve this goal. Commitment creates more accountability and is what sets us on direct course to reach our goals. It may create costly negative consequences upon failure to attain a goal. Making a commitment might be something like having invested your savings in your new business which you will lose if it fails. Motivation and commitment are specific to your situation and life and only you can form statements that will ensure you reach your goal the quickest. The more personal you make your motivation and commitment statements for each goal, the more motivated you will be to accomplish your goal.

4. Reminders and Keeping on Track

Reaching our goals requires persistence and regular attention. We need some sort of system to keep us reminded and accountable. Sharing goals with others who can give you help and support is a highly effective way to increase your chances for success. If some accountability system is not used then we are likely to lose sight and fail.

5. Frequent Review and Re-assessment

When we first sit down and start to define goals it can seem like a difficult and daunting task but over time it begins to get much easier. Patience is required. Goal Setting is definitely an ongoing process that is accomplished over time. Any goals program that defines goals and then ignores them will fail. All goals due in the next year should be reviewed at least once a week and daily if possible. The great thing about frequent review is that this forces us to make big decisions and determine priorities in our life. We should keep watch for goals that are not being achieved on time or for goals on which we keep extending the deadline.

Different people have different definitions of what it is to be successful and what it takes to be successful. For someone it is having lot of money while for others it can mean to be successful in a career or simply having good relations with close to you people. In me opinion, success is something when we are health and pleased with my life. So as you see there are plenty of definitions of success.

However, success it is always a process , because if we want to be successful we need to do something for it so it requires creating some kind of plan that will lead us step by step right to the success. And when you see these steps that you need to walk on you can actually achieve any kind of success that you can only imagine.

So if we look at the definition of success, again, we would probably realize that it is some kind of achievement or a victory, accomplishment or simply realization of your dream or goals. And if you can create the goal in your mind that is realistic and you actually know of how you can accomplish it so this is what success truly is.

And as I sad before success require creating a plan. If you have realized your goal the next step you need to do is to think of how you can make this goal a reality and this is the proper time to settling a plan for your goal. You need to create a good plan so don’t rush but take as much time as you need and think what can you do for the realization of your goal.

For example, you can compare accomplishing your goal to the coking some cookie. It is actually a very good example that will give you a clear understanding of the importance of setting a plan. Just think about if you want to bake cookies or something else you need a lot of ingredients that should be added in right proportion in order to bake some delicious pastry. And the same thing is with setting your goals and making plan for their realization. If you don’t know what you need to do in order to achieve you goal you won’t ever accomplish it.

And once you have your plan you have to mobilize all your resources in order to make your plan to turn your plan into reality. Do your small steps that will bring you to your final goal. And if you fallow these steps and won’t give up no matter what can happen you can be sure that it will lead you right to the success.

Setting goals it is the crucial part of our lives, because we put there our energy and focus toward achieving success and improving our life. However, if you do not define your goals and if you don’t know of how to implement them into the real life it will only cause the waste of your time, efforts and energy. That is why I want to share with you the basics of goal setting that you should definitely consider and apply to your own goal setting strategy:

First you need to think about the relevance of your objectives or goals to your overall success. Your goals should not stand alone, but they have to be attached to your whole life path and even if your are standing on a certain life measure your goals should be above that, you should always think in advance and know of what will be your next step and where you are taking your direction.

And if your goals are not defined in a realistic terms they can’t be achieved. So if you find it difficult to measure the terms of your goal and find the way of completing it so it will be better for you to redefine and reconsider this goal and think about some other ways that you can do to accomplish this goal.

And make your goals some kind of challenge for yourself, because if something is easy to attain it is probably won’t be that much worthwhile as something that you get spending a lot of effort and time. And the same is with your goals, because it is better to set some high goal rather than low goals, because anyway if you have enough strength in yourself you will accomplish high goals, too.

And also what you should do is to make your goals time bound. It is also essential to be committed to a due date. If you have some set time for accomplishing your goals it will make you more discipline and successive in achieving your goals.

Setting goal isn’t enough if you want to attain everything you wish for. You should also keep this process of achieving your goals under your strict control, because if you let yourself break the rules and if you won’t stick to the action plan and if you will be late for the measure terms of your goals you can be sure that it won’t help you in improving your life and attaining any success. And if you see some obstacle or a problem on your way you can’t give up, but you have to understand it and deal with it and continue following the way toward success and toward the life of your dreams.
