  Get rid of the activities and projects (and sometimes even people) that don't fit.    Get an accountability partner or friend that will keep you going towards your goals.    Do you let other people encroach on your time when you had planned to work on an important project?

Have you ever been so jazzed about your project that you feel you could take on the world? But how can you rekindle motivation for a project that’s become duller than grey ashes? And then you can create a snowball effect that gets you jazzed, full of excitement and feeling awesome about your project. You’re on fire!

  Do you find yourself jumping from one project to another?    One day it is one project and then the next day a different “ bright shiny object ” comes into view and we switch off to that.    We are so busy jumping from project to project that we never really complete any of them.

Cut your major goals into bite-sized pieces. Each small priority or requirement on the way to ultimate goal becomes a mini goal in itself. 1 - Practice saying "Om" Breathe deeply, and then look at the projects that need to be done.   Don't be a time manager, be a priority manager.

If you have a big project due, break down the steps necessary and write those on each card.   As you are traveling and you think of things you need or want to do, you take out a card and jot it down.  .  The cards are flexible and small, so you can always reorder your priorities as new ones come up.

  By grabbing a small project (for example, an article that you want to read) and working on it for a short period of time, you take a few minutes away from the work that was putting you into an afternoon coma-like state.    You also release serotonin/happiness/excitement as you finish a project.

These small differences might not count for much offline, but in the world of social media, where word of your personal service can travel, they count for more than you can imagine. Instead of just thinking of your brand, your customers and clients are always thinking of the people behind the business.
