3. Find an accountability partner. Having someone who can help hold you accountable to your goals can be a great motivator.
4. Create a rewarding environment. Establish rewards for yourself for meeting specific goals and avoid anything that can lead to distraction.
5. Make it difficult to procrastinate. Make it harder for yourself to procrastinate by making it more difficult to engage in activities that do not directly help you achieve your goals.
6. Focus on the why. Adopt an attitude of intrinsic motivation and focus on why you are completing the task instead of dwelling on the difficulty of the task.
