Lists are great ways to stay on track. Write down what you'll need and what you'll want to have, and you'll be ready to go.

Check the list regularly 

Don’t forget to check in and see how you’re doing. Just because you don’t achieve the big goals right away doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.

Reward yourself 

When you succeed in achieving a goal, be it a big one or a small one, make sure to pat yourself on the back.

Think positively 

Positive thinking is a major factor in success. So instead of mulling over things that didn’t go quite right, remind yourself of things that did.
