Make a Plan, visualize it
A good plan is absolutely necessary. Write your goal down. It’s good, to be aware, what you really want. It’s your goal. You can do this on paper or digital. I use Keynote to keep focused. For some people, written plans may help. For me, i need visualized and simple plans. A plan on which you don’t look, is no good plan. Make a plan you like. And keep it simple. If the plan is to complicated, you don’t read it. Use your imagination and creativity. Mindmaps may also work. Find out what technique fits best for you and fix on it.
