the second method. Create a plan for life

1. Create common goals that you want to achieve in your life

How do you want to develop? What do you want to achieve in your life? Think of it as a "life list." Remember the movie "Knockin 'on Heaven"? Exactly this is my life. It should be exactly the goals that you really want to achieve, and not those that you feel are necessary. Sometimes it is useful to break the goal into categories for better visualization. Categories can be, for example, such:

• career;
• travels;
• family / friends;
• health;
• finance;
• knowledge;
• spirituality.

• Learn more about Buddhism.

Now that you have a common goal, that you want to achieve in your life, it's time to create some defined goals. And be sure to set a date for implementation of the objective. A couple of examples:

• Send book 30 editions until June 2016.
• A trip to South America in 2015, and in Asia - in 2016.
• Have a weight of 70 kilograms in January 2015.

3. Rate your reality and where you are now!

Be honest with yourself and really appreciate your present life. With goals list which you have made, assess the point where you are right now. For example, your goal - to publish the book - namely, send it to publishers in June 2016. And now you have only half of the manuscript, and you are not sure that you like the first half.

4. Decide how you will achieve your goals

What steps do you take to be able to achieve their goals? Determine the steps that you need to do, and write them down. For example, for this book today and we need to November 2014:

the third method. Solve the problem with the help of Plan

Part One: The definition of the problem

1. Be aware of the problem that you are facing

Sometimes the hardest part of creating a plan is that you do not know what the problem is. Often the problem with which we are faced, creates several problems. The trouble is, as they say, do not come alone. What you need to do - to find the source of the problem. And this is exactly what you need to understand.

Your mother does not allow you to spend four weeks in the other in a mountain hut. This is a problem, but where is the source of the problem? You got an F in algebra. And this is the reason why your mom does not let you to another on a vacation. And this pair - it is a problem that you need to solve.

2. Determine what results you hope to achieve by solving your problem

What goals do you hope to accomplish by solving the problem? Focus on achieving your goals. Other enough by itself.

Your goal is to improve your scores in mathematics at least to four. Parallel to this, improving their knowledge in mathematics, you hope that your mother let you go to a friend for the holidays.

3. Find out why this is a problem

Which of your habits have contributed to the emergence of the problem? Take some time to analyze the cause of the problem.

Your problem is that you've got three in mathematics. Think that might lead to this: Can you talk a lot with a friend in class. Or did not do their homework in the evenings because of the football training, for example.

4. Consider external factors contributing to the problem

Many problems occur because of any of your actions. But do not forget about the external factors working against you. Consider an example. You got a bad grade in math, which must be corrected. The reason may be lack of understanding of the explanations of the teacher on the subject, rather than what you are talking with a friend.

Part two: find a solution and create a plan

1. Find the number of possible solutions to your problem

You can simply write down all the possible options on a piece of paper or use one of the methods of brainstorming. Thus, for example, as a mental map. Whichever method you choose, you should take into account both the possibility of the problem: your fault and factors that do not depend on you.

The solution of communication problems with others in the classroom:

• Sit in the classroom as much as possible from your friends.
• Explain to your friend that you do not absorb information in class and getting bad grades. So you need to concentrate on the lesson.
• If you are sitting behind you on the designated spot, ask the teacher to transplant you, so you can better focus.

Solving the problem of unfulfilled homework due to soccer training:

• Make part of the homework in time for lunch or during a break. So you will be less work for the evening.
• Stick to the rules. After a workout, you should have dinner and do homework. Reward yourself watching TV after do lessons.

Solving the problem of lack of understanding of algebra:

• Let you help a classmate who can clarify any confusing moments for you.
• Ask for help from the teacher. Explain that you do not understand the material and need no further explanation.
• Tackle math tutoring.

2. Create a plan

So you've brainstormed and understand what your problem is. Now select the most effective, in your opinion, the solution to the problem and write a plan for yourself. Hang plan somewhere, where it often will come across your eyes. Your plan to improve your level of math should look like this:

Plan to improve within four weeks

1. Kate say that the lessons I can not talk to her. If this does not help, change seats on it.
2. Every Tuesday and Thursday to do homework during lunch. So I will be less than the jobs that have to do after training.
3. Every Monday and Wednesday to attend elective math. Target: four weeks to improve your level with the troika until at least four.

3. Analyze the first week

Have you done everything you had planned? Did you succeed? What mistakes do you make? Having made a good analysis, you will be able to avoid mistakes in the future.

4. Do not lose your motivation

Stick to your plan until such time until you reach the goal. Do not stop halfway. If one day you do not stick to the plan, make sure that this does not happen again. If you see that this plan does not work, think about what is wrong with it, and write a new plan.
