2) Thinking long-term Your daily actions shape the future version of yourself. If you seek pleasure, you’ll end up depressed. If you resort to complaining, you’ll never succeed. But if you take action, you’ll achieve your goals. To build motivation for action, do this:

Look at your current daily actions. Predict where they'll take you 3, 5, and 10 years from now. Are you happy with that version of yourself? The answer will be the greatest motivation you need to achieve your goals.

3) Using the 3 second rule Don’t wait until you "feel like it" to take action. Just count to 3 and act. Don’t think about it. Just do it. Get out of bed. Sit at your desk to work. Put on your shoes and go for a run. Taking action puts you in the right mood.

4) Setting goals with deadlines Goal setting is the best way to get things done on time. For optimal performance, a goal should have 3 parts: • Specific steps to act faster • Challenge to increase drive • Deadlines to avoid procrastination

5) Optimizing your environment Your mind always looks for the most convenient task. Design your environment to make time wasters inconvenient: • Uninstall social media apps • Cancel your online subscriptions • Work or study at a local public library
