Draw up a plan
An important start is to set a clear goal. To achieve your goal, it is important to divide the path to it into smaller steps – subgoals. It is easier to keep motivation up if the final goal doesn’t feel too big or far away. You also need to clarify what obstacles you might encounter on the way and how to get around them.
