How to bring the works to the end

You can not just pick up and set a goal. Taken "from the ceiling" problem will collapse like a house of cards.
The more serious goal, the more confidence and perseverance in achieving it. We are willing to try, when aware of responsibility for others: family, friends, clients.
Way of thinking, in which the motivation is dependent on external factors, called the "psychology of the antelope." Antelope running fast, but only slightly faster than the lion, who is chasing her. When the lion stopped, antelope, too slow.
Big goal creates intrinsic motivation and the brain switches to "antelope mode" to "Lion Mode".

Change your self-centered goals for the large-scale projects that will affect the family. This will help to focus on the benefits of achieving the goal, rather than on the complexities.

You consider yourself too old to learn a foreign language? Yes, the world is full of fifty executives, who do not have such power as in his youth, and no free time. But they learn to speak a foreign language.
You think bad genes are preventing you to lose weight? How about overweight people who lose more than 20 kg per year?
Think about Roger Bannister and his record race. Until 1954, no one imagined that a mile (1609 meters) can be run in less than four minutes. Just one year record was repeated. It has become so familiar achievement that more than 20 000 people were able to boast of them, and among them there are even students.
Here it is, the power of belief and suggestion. If you know that someone else has already done like that, are you sure that this is possible. When you have a clearly defined goal, proof that you can achieve a result, you start to work reticular catalytic system. It helps the brain determine what should focus on, and what information is best discarded.
As a result, attention will be focused on the right things.
Look for a teacher, a mentor, or interest group, responsible partner. So you move further than alone.

According to Cruz, the list has weaknesses.

Lists do not account for time. When the sight we have a list of tasks we undertake for the ones that can be done quickly, and items that require more time to complete, postpone for later. And do not carry them. IDoneThis's research showed that 41% of the tasks on the list remains unfulfilled.
Lists do not show the difference between important and urgent. Again, we instinctively try to cope with the tasks that are close to the deadline, and did not notice for this race important things (by the way, you've been doing chest X-rays?).
Lists provoke stress. In psychology known effect Zeigarnik: unfinished tasks cause obsessive thoughts about them. There is nothing surprising in the fact that in the end we feel terrible congestion during the day and at night suffering from insomnia.

Instead of drawing up lists of cases make the schedule calendar, in which are arranged their tasks.
Schedule will help set priorities and take into account the time for performance of affairs: for example, to memorize 30 new words a day or practice a foreign language every morning.
How to do it?

Studies show that people remember:
— 5% what you have learned, if they listened to a lecture;
— 10%If they read the information on the subject;
— 20%If they learned something from an audio and video;
— 30%If the training occurred via demonstration process;
— 50% when discussing the information in the group;
— 75%If training is combined with practice;
— 90%If they learned the material taught to someone else.
The main reason for such indicators is that in the process of training someone your brain quickly recognize mistakes made and focuses on eliminating them. Paradoxically, it is contrary to all traditional methods of passive learning.
So no matter how you teach the material, the main thing - immediately Practice what you could learn.
Learn a new way, doing something never done before. Maintain knowledge by teaching others. Remember and repeat.
