Deadlines Get It Done
A goal without a deadline is just a concept. The deadline gives your goal a frame in which you can build the entire detailed structure for achievement. When appropriately applied, deadlines can provide compelling motivation for progress towards your goals. Implement backward or forwards, or both, planning to break down your goal into the individual tasks that will get you to the finish line.
Objectives:
- Give each "sub-task" its own milestone deadline to keep yourself on track.
- Learn to be ambitious without being unrealistic.
- Restructure your timeline and your ultimate deadline along the way.

Getting started is often the most challenging part of achieving a goal. It can be intimidating and overwhelming, particularly if your goal involves a new direction or unfamiliar challenges.

Each time a milestone is achieved, you’ll be more motivated to drive yourself towards the goal.
Objectives:
- Break down larger goals into manageable parts to improve your chances of success.
