Often, once lit a purpose or idea person "goes out" literally at the very beginning. This happens for different reasons, because of the lack of serious motivation or because of the meeting with the first difficulties. How did fulfill his promise and did not give up after a week?

Without clearly defined goals, it is difficult to achieve anything. Attempts to do everything, everywhere at once, basically, and are the primary cause of failure of his goal. The main mistake that wants overnight and sports go and read a book, and get enough sleep and have time to work and so on and so forth. But soon found that the day is not too much time, and all these things will not be enough time. And here's enthusiasm begins to fade, and instead of the desired five or six goals not achieved a single one.
But sometimes, even by one goal, but rather abstract, it is impossible to achieve the desired result. For example, instead of the goal of "healthy lifestyle" need to set yourself goals such as time to wake up, drink a glass of water on an empty stomach, breakfast each morning, stop smoking, and so on. Work on the specific goals and objectives considerably lighter and thus faster result is achieved.
The goal should be realistic
For example, if you decide to enroll in foreign language courses, you should consider, in what period of your time you will be attending these courses - one hour before the operation or after it? If this is to be paid courses, then how much would you allocate to these courses? Will there be enough time to combine these courses with the main work?
Changes should not be radical. It's important to weigh everything, and perhaps should only improve what you already do. For example, you have a goal to have time to read as many books as possible. Then you need to be more selective in choosing the books, studying the criticism. It may be necessary to do the improvement of reading speed.
Comfort

step by step action
Too big a task to perform is difficult, which is why many give up at the very beginning. All actions necessary to make gradually. Big goals are usually very afraid of people, but if they are broken down into small steps, everything is seen in a completely different perspective.

Some people respond to the expectations of the people around them. Others - extremely hesitant in everything and everyone, so they need a good reason why he should perform certain actions. Still others - opponents in order to meet the expectations of others, they need their own freedom of action. Therefore, someone must be sure someone's opinion on the part of, someone has to be clearly confident that it's really good for him, and the third thing - just start.
The lack of reproach
