Align goals with value: an effective goal should be aligned with the area of your life you need to improve.
Breakdown your goals: A big goal is just a collection of small achievable goals.
Assign a daily habit: For each monthly goal assign a daily habit that will move you towards it.
Schedule your habits: A habit is much more likely to happen if you have consistent time and place established for it.
Reward yourself: Periodic rewards increase motivation and reinforce good behaviors.
Review your progress: Regular reflection help you to learn from the past and plan for the future.
