1)If you are new to setting goals. My first suggestion is to start with a small goal. Once you accomplish that goal you will be more motivated to set and achieve larger goals.
2)The best thing to do when setting a goal no matter how big or small it is, is to break it down into smaller manageable goals. For instance, if your goal is to write a book, break that down by chapter and then down by subject per chapter.
3)Try tracking your goals. Seeing the smaller goals you have finished on your way to the larger goal can keep you motivated. Using a goal chart or a goal sheet is a good idea.
4)Tell others about your goal. For one it makes the goal more real and for two now you have people to keep you accountable.
5) Reward yourself for accomplishing small goals. This will also keep you motivated especially if the overall goal is a large one.
6)Set a deadline for accomplishing your goals. Without a deadline. the goal is just floating out there as something to accomplish some day. We all know someday rarely comes.
