9 Ways To Stay Motivated & Focused To Achieve Your Goals.

. Stay Motivated

The goal is not constant focus, but a short period of distraction-free time every day.

Twenty minutes a day of deep focus could be transformation.

1. Do creative work first:

Typically, we do mindless work first and build-up to the toughest tasks. That drains your energy and lowers your focus. 

In order to focus effectively, reverse the order.Check off the tasks that require creativity or concentration first thing in the morning, and then move on to easier work.

2. Allocated your time deliberately:

We are truly focused for an average of only six hours per week.You want to be really diligent with what you put into those hours.

90 percent of people do their best thinking outside the office. Notice where and when you focus best, then allocate your toughest tasks for those moments.

3.Train your brain like a muscle:

We've trained our brains to be unfocused.

Practice concentration by turning off all distractions and committing your attention to a single task.Start small, maybe five minutes per day, and work up to larger chunks of time. 

4.Yourself to Get Organized

Getting organized is a dream of many, but taking that first step is often a challenge. Organizing and time management expert, Julie Morgenstern (author of Organizing from the Inside Out) shares her strategies for overcoming those roadblocks and implementing successful storage systems. She even has suggestions for how to get the rest of the family involved so everyone works together toward one goal.

5. Forget about your past:

It is not only demotivational to blame yourself for perceived mistakes that were being committed in the past, but it is also unnecessary. You need to become aware that these mistakes allow you to gain helpful experiences in order to avoid similar mistakes in the future. Accept the past and the committed mistakes as immutable in order to avoid a negative influence on your attempts to stay positive. Start to create new opportunities that allow you to change your current situation and focus on the future, not on the past.

6.The Impact of positive people:

I’m sure you might have noticed the influence of a person with a positive attitude on your life.  Not only will it help you to stay in a good mood, but being surrounded by optimistic people will also help you to become optimistic and happy. Try to find ways that enable you to connect with motivated and positive people. People that forge ahead and approach each day with excitement, optimism, and motivation. Such a connection to a motivated person will inspire you and lift you up in your mood.

 7. Break your goal into smaller pieces:

 The same Forbes compilation piece recommended breaking your goals down into smaller, more task-oriented goals — and set target deadline for those tasks. For example. if your goal is "re-organize my entire closet," start by saying, "First I'm going to tackle the shoes, then the belts, then the winter coats in the back," etc. This method can make even the biggest task feel more manageable.

8. Always remember that why you set your goal:

In a piece for Tiny Buddha, integrated channeler Maria Moraca said that when things feel overwhelming, just take a few moments to sit back and remind yourself why you chose your path in the first place. Was it to help people? Was it because you knew your end goal would lead to long term happiness, even if it was short term work? This can always help you find clarity in the worst moments. 

9.Be Consistent:

And finally, Strunks also stressed the importance of being consistent with your work, writing, "take consistent action every single day." This means that even if you're totally not in the mood, do one small proactive thing that will move you towards your ultimate goal — even if it's just a tweet.
Staying motivated is absolutely within your reach — it's often just about keeping your end goal in mind and breaking down the larger end result into manageable smaller steps. Remember — you can do it!
