Tips to Help You Finish

Sharpen the Vision
It’s impossible to finish anything when you’re not clear what the eventual goal is. Take a few minutes and examine the project you have in mind. Can you visualize the outcome you want?

Be Fully Committed
Once you have a clear idea of where you're going, ask yourself why you're doing this. What motivates you? What about this excites you? Hold onto these thoughts and make a verbal and written commitment to this goal. And yes, saying it out loud does make a difference! We have written a blog post to help you develop a clear WHY - Implement The 5 Whys Method To Energize Your Best Life - https://www.wendybottrell.com/blog/implement-the-5-whys-method-to-energize-your-best-life 

Create Your Space
Here’s where you need to set up where the magic happens. Wherever you choose to work, make sure you’ve reduced distractions. 

Make Temptation Impossible
This is crucial no matter what the goal. If you have a project you need to dig into for work, it might be you need to turn off your phone or put it in a drawer for a bit. If you're working on your health, this is where you get rid of the cookies from the cupboard. Make it as difficult as you can to throw off your progress.

Organize
Do you have the tools you need to start? Now is the time to assemble them if you don’t. This is also a good place to get any research done you might need. Once you’ve got the materials, take a few minutes to create a game plan. What’s the goal for today? What do you need to get done for the next milestone? This must be laid out in simple, bite-sized pieces of work.

Set the Stage
Do you work better with peppy music? Does it help to listen to an inspiring podcast before you begin? Do you have a mantra or affirmation you use to put yourself in the right mindset? You tell your brain you're ready to work now and get things done by creating a practice before work. Do this often enough, and you'll turn this practice into a trigger that puts you in the perfect headspace instantly, which is important in creating the necessary momentum.

Start Early
If you can, begin working as early in the day as possible. Studies have shown an earlier start to the day is crucial to success. This is important even if you're not what you would term a 'morning' person. Why? The longer you wait to start your day, the more likely you are to put off beginning until tomorrow. Also, if you jump in early, you're going to feel amazingly productive by lunch. 

Be Impulsive
Once you have everything in place, start without thinking about it if you can. Too often, we stall out because we don't feel ready. Once you've organized your materials or workspace, though, there's no point in holding back.

Blast Through for Five Minutes
This launch should be quick and fast. Tell yourself you’re just going to test the waters and throw yourself in wholeheartedly. You have a plan. All you need is to work it!

Single Task
Do not be multitasking when you plunge into this project. You’ll only be distracting yourself and muddying things unnecessarily. Put all your attention on what you’re doing.

Find the Flow
If you’ve ever been in a flow state before, remember how this felt. Recreate this feeling as you work. Sink into it and enjoy the sensation of everything coming together while the outside world melts away.

Keep the Momentum
No matter what, hold your momentum even if you don't have a solid flow state. Forward progress is still progress, no matter how slow. Keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Give Yourself a Quitting Time
You can't work endlessly. To avoid burnout, know when to finish for the day. Otherwise, you'll crash and burn, making it harder to pick up again the next day.

Set Up for Success
How do you want to begin again tomorrow? For example, some writers will write the first sentence of the next chapter before quitting for the day so they can jump right in easily. What would help you? Layout your workout clothes set out materials, and do whatever you need for a successful start the next time you settle into work.

Believe In Yourself
As you keep working, remember this very important thing: You have everything you need to succeed. Just the very fact you’re working to achieve your dreams makes you amazing. You’ve got this!

By putting these ideas into practice, you're going to find it easier to feel inspired, build momentum and keep it to the end of the project. No more will you be distracted by something quick and easy. Instead, you'll be too interested in what's meaningful and significant to you. 

And when you get there? You can take pride in the fact you've not only reached your goal, but you've mastered diligence once and for all, meaning you have all the tools you need to jump into the next project and the one after that.

Now that’s powerful stuff!
