Tip #31 – Create a Blog

One good way to stay motivated and to stay focused on your goals is to create a blog that tracks your progress. And once you do it, invite your friends, family members, and the general public to read it.

This is an excellent example of the type of “commitment device” I mentioned earlier. By keeping a public account of your struggles and victories, you can draw in others; and use their commentary, approval, and disapproval to give you the right incentives.

Now, if you fail horribly, you’ll do so in front of everyone. This is a strong incentive to get things right or to face the consequences.

Tip #32 – Make a Good Playlist

Another good way to motivate yourself is by using music. Music, if used correctly, can sustain a good mood or prolong a bad mood. Think about what songs make you happy and keep you motivated; and use those to create a good playlist.

Of course, you won’t always be able to list to music when you’re at work; or when you’re trying to accomplish your goal, but if you find yourself in a serious rut, then it may be a good idea to load that playlist on your iPod; and use it to extract some motivation.

Tip #33 – Make Yourself Accountable to Someone Else

Continuing with the theme of “commitment devices,” it usually a good idea to find ways to make yourself accountable to someone else. Whether that person be your boss, your husband or wife, your parents, or someone else important in your life, give them a stake in your success. Keep them abreast of your decisions; and encourage them to push you harder when you need it.

This can work especially well with your spouse, if you explain to him how achieving your goal will help the entire family. If he understands this, then he will also do whatever he can to ensure that you are successful in your endeavors, too (otherwise, he, too, will lose out).
