If your goals aren't specific with defined steps, you may feel unsure about what you're trying to do. This is especially true if your goal is long-term and there's no immediate reward. Return to your goals and break them into smaller, manageable goals. This will keep you motivated. For example, if you're working on a book or an advanced degree, which can take years, break down the goals.

If you feel lost or unsure about what your goals are, remind yourself of what you've already accomplished. This may tell you what you're doing well and what you need to improve on. Some days, you may genuinely find it hard to put in time towards your goals. But, if you find yourself frequently having trouble meeting your goals and steps, learn to use your time more effectively. You may want to develop a schedule to get more done and keep you focused. Try setting deadlines. These are important for creating a sense of urgency with your goals. Set several small deadlines to make larger projects or long-term goals manageable. Create a daily routine to add structure. This can help you develop a sense of momentum and reduce your stress. It can help you feel on track since you can keep track of your progress. You may find that you're not in the mood to complete your daily routine or tasks. Maybe you're feeling sick, have other things on your mind, or simply can't focus. These are understandable obstacles to sticking with your daily goal. Have alternatives to work on for when you're in these kind of moods. This way, you can keep working towards your goal. For example, if you're trying to learn a new language, but don't feel like putting in an hour towards vocabulary and translations, try an alternative. You might watch a documentary about the country where the language is spoken or watch a foreign movie in that language, with the subtitles.
