34. Step to boost your mindset for success: Combine your goals with recurring everyday activities
If you remind yourself of your goals several times a day, it will be easier for you to stay motivated and on the home stretch. To do this, you can simply combine a day-to-day activity with your objectives. Choose something that you use several times a day. For example, you can stick a note or picture of your destination on your bathroom mirror or, for example, a password that you use frequently with your destination. Do you drink much coffee? Then make your coffee cup the medium of your destination and stick a picture or the word of your destination on your cup, and every time you enjoy your coffee, you automatically think of your destination. You could also use your pack of cigarettes or other items that you use several times a day to focus on your goal. The more often you deal with your goal, the faster you will achieve it. Take advantage of the opportunities that your everyday life offers you and let your goals be taken into account wherever possible. There are no limits to your imagination, it is only important that you do not lose sight of your goals and are reminded of them as often as possible.

To-do lists have the positive effect of being able to celebrate small successes every day, because you can simply cross out or tick off what has been done and at the end of the day you can see how much you have actually achieved. However, if at the end of the day you find that you haven't done a lot of things on your list, you should honestly question that and adjust your to-do list accordingly in the future. Perhaps you have taken on too much or you have avoided certain tasks. However, as long as you have successfully completed at least 80% of the activities you have planned, you can look forward to and be proud of yourself. At the end of the day, with your ticked off to-do list, you have something visible in your hand by which you can clearly and easily measure your success and this is incredibly important to continuously build your self-confidence and faith in yourself, but also your belief in achieving your goals.
