Positive Actions to Achieve Your Goal

Do live your life without setting any goals? You should set some goals. Setting goals make your way even definite and clear. And that's a way of going ahead. Of course, without setting any goal, you can go advanced, but with them, it would be easier.
And here is the ways of thinking that work to achieve your set goals with more possibility.
・Divide your goal into smaller pieces.
→ This is critical point, similar to decomposition in Computer Science, if you have a big goal, needs long time to achieve, you are going to go through some steps, a little by little, sometimes you face obstacles, and as go one by one step, and breaking those obstacles, your goal will be much more stronger and you will be close to the goal. This means you can have 2 kinds of goals, big goal and small goal. I suggest that if you set small goals, that should be very small enough to achieve in say, an hour or a day. For example, if you have a big goal that is "Being able to speak English fluently", and you may have small goals such as "having conversation with English speaking people on Skype".

・Talk about your goals to people around you.
→This makes it more realistic, forcing you to achieve your goals. This is social incentive, and usually you get this naturally, but by doing this, you get that intentionally. People who know your goals may ask you the progress of your goals sometimes.

・Imagine how you will feel and get when you achieve the goals
→This make the goals more clear, and you can speculate the effect of achieving goals. But here is the caution, that is you should not imagine it positively and exaggerate it. Think it realistically.

・Give yourself a present when you achieved a smaller piece of goal
→This is called "strengthen learning", from brain science, if you do something and you get happier after doing that, the action you did before you get happier will be strengthen. This works in any context. Like growing your kids, education, sports, getting girlfriends, etc.

・Record the progress of your goals in a daily basis
→With a object view point, what you do for your goals may seem insufficient or inappropriate. By writing down or managing them on computer makes it happen. With subjective view point, you may get lost.

Here are some tips, but the really you need is I think that Very Strong Incentives and your EFFORT. I think with those, tips above naturally achieved, and you are next to success.
