We are now into month eight of 2021. How has the year been for you so far? Are you on target to reaching, achieving, and doing all the things you set out in January?

Sometimes you don’t need to read lengthy articles. With only five months left to the year (I can’t believe it!), use the tips below to get you back on track or to keep you on it.

Remember, time is only limited if that’s what you set!

Here are 40 things to get you going … fast!

  1. Use the first 90 minutes of your day on the most important tasks that will add value to your life and work
  2. Switch off all technology for at least one hour a day
  3. What you think - You Become. Take control of your thoughts and switch to positive thinking
  4. Let go of all negativities that you are holding onto and that are stopping you from progressing this year. 
  5. Your past is a part of yesterday, so leave it behind and put your energy into your present and your future
  6. Plan weekly tasks every Sunday night - both personal and work-related
  7. Aim to achieve five little goals each day and prioritise the most important to be completed without any excuses
  8. Once a week do something that makes you feel uncomfortable and pushes you out of your comfort zone
  9. Check your emails at the end of the day so that you are driven by the tasks you have set at the beginning of the day
  10. Stop complaining about the things that aren’t working; make a plan and start doing the things that you can do today
  11. Believe in your vision and gifts, even when no one else believes in them
  12. Exercise for at least 30 minutes every day
  13. Finish what you start in the day
  14. Create a vision board for what you want to achieve in the next few months
  15. Write in a journal every day and record your gratitude for that day
  16. Smile more (and tell your face)ā€Ø
  17. Remember that victims are frightened by change and leaders grow inspired by it. Be a leader
  18. Dream big but start nowā€Ø
  19. Invest more in yourself than your job
  20. Breathe
  21. Keep your promises
  22. Always look at your own habits and personality before criticising others of theirs
  23. Have a body that you’re happy with and not what peer pressure makes you have
  24. Be responsible for your own health including fitness, eating, vitamins, etc
  25. Watch and listen to positive podcasts, music and TV
  26. Laugh and play at least once a day - be childlike
  27. Know that a problem only becomes a problem when you choose to see it as a problem
  28. Embrace rejection - every great person has gone through it
  29. Know your values and then have the guts to live them, no matter what the crowd thinks and how the herd livesā€Ø
  30. Know your ‘Big 5’ - the five goals you absolutely must achieve by December 31
  31. Give your life to a project bigger than yourself
  32. Get a support system around you for your life and business
  33. Write handwritten ‘thank you’ notes to your customers, teammates, and family members - make them feel special
  34. Give your loved ones your time
  35. Acknowledge all your skills and not just your title
  36. Take a walk - wherever and whenever you can
  37. Talk to positive people every day
  38. Plan daily breaks
  39. Reflect on what you have already achieved this year
  40. Celebrate every little positive achievement in your life and in others’ lives

Five months is a long way away, and the art of life is flexibility. Just look back on what you have achieved and what you want to do next. Small daily consistent steps are all it takes.
