Once you know your goal, create a schedule with deadlines and evaluations. Break the goal down into smaller tasks within a timeframe that suits your abilities. Breaking goals into smaller tasks makes them more manageable and achievable. With clear, small steps, you can focus better and avoid feeling overwhelmed. Additionally, breaking your goal into smaller tasks allows you to experience a sense of achievement and motivation at each step .
"If we accomplish those small tasks, we will feel more motivated but if we can't accomplish those large tasks, it will  make us more disappointed," said AGNES SANDRA, S.PSI., M.PSI.
3. Evaluate
If you feel tired after working on a task for an hour, consider reducing it to half an hour to avoid feeling overwhelmed. If half an hour still feels like too much, you can cut it down to 15 minutes. This adjustment can vary based on your capacity. If you can work on a task for over an hour, feel free to increase that time. That's the purpose of evaluation.
4. Celebrate Small Achievements
Appreciating each achievement is important as it helps maintain enthusiasm, boosts self-confidence, and increases happiness. Celebrating small accomplishments is an investment for a better future. Moreover, appreciating small achievements helps you value the efforts of others as well. Examples include waking up early, finishing a chapter of a book, or trying a new recipe.
Challenges in Pursuing Goals
Once you've created a schedule with a list of tasks, you will face the challenge of commitment.
"Don't look the plan as pressure, but look it as something exciting. Don't judge yourself failed if you can't complete the entire schedule; instead, treat it as an opportunity for evaluation and motivation," said AGNES SANDRA, S.PSI., M.PSI,.
